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