Chapter 85
Psalms
Verse 1LORD, you were favorable to your land;you restored the fortunes of Jacob.Verse 2You forgave the iniquity of your people;you covered all their sin. SelahVerse 3You withdrew all your wrath;you turned from your hot anger.Verse 4Restore us again, O God of our salvation,and put away your indignation toward us!Verse 5Will you be angry with us forever?Will you prolong your anger to all generations?Verse 6Will you not revive us again,that your people may rejoice in you?Verse 7Show us your steadfast love, O LORD,and grant us your salvation.Verse 8Let me hear what God the LORD will speak,for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;but let them not turn back to folly.Verse 9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,that glory may dwell in our land.Verse 10Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;righteousness and peace kiss each other.Verse 11Faithfulness springs up from the ground,and righteousness looks down from the sky.Verse 12Yes, the LORD will give what is good,and our land will yield its increase.Verse 13Righteousness will go before himand make his footsteps a way.
