Psalm 85
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
[85:1] Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob. [85:2] You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah. [85:3] You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger. [85:4] Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease. [85:5] Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations? [85:6] Won't you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? [85:7] Show us your loving kindness, Yahweh. Grant us your salvation. [85:8] I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to folly. [85:9] Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. [85:10] Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. [85:11] Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven. [85:12] Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase. [85:13] Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.
