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.
