Psalm 85

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

85:1
¶ LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
85:2
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
85:3
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
85:4
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
85:5
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
85:6
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
85:7
Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
85:8
I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
85:9
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
85:10
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
85:11
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
85:12
Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
85:13
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
