Psalm 85

¹To the Overseer.—By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned to the captivity of Jacob.

²Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

³Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

⁴Turn back to us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

⁵To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

⁶Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

⁷Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

⁸I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.

⁹Only, near to those fearing Him is His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.

¹⁰Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

¹¹Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

¹²Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.

¹³Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
