Psalms 85
1O LORD, Thou hast favoured this land of Thine: Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2Thou hast forgiven Thy people their iniquities: Thou hast covered all their sins.
3Thou hast caused all Thine anger to cease: Thou hast turned away from Thy fierce wrath.
4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn away Thy wrath from us.
5Be not angry with us forever. Wilt Thou extend Thy wrath to all generations?
6O God, Thou wilt turn and quicken us, that Thy people may rejoice for Thee.
7Shew us, O Lord, Thy loving kindness: And shouldst Thou grant us Thy salvation, I will hear what the Lord God will say by me: for He will speak peace to His people—to His saints: even to them who turn their hearts to Him;
9moreover His salvation will be near them who fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10Mercy and truth have met each other; righteousness and peace have mutually embraced.
11Truth hath sprung up out of the earth, and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
12For the Lord will exercise benignity, and our land shall yield her increase.
13Righteousness shall go before Him, and He will imprint His footsteps for a path.
