Psalm 85

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

1  Lord, thou hast been ||Favourable unto thy land:

Thou hast abrought back the captivity of Jacob.

2  Thou hast bforgiven the iniquity of thy people,

Thou hast bcovered all their sin. Selah.

3  Thou hast taken away all thy wrath:

||Thou hast cturned dthyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

4  eTurn us, O God of our salvation,

fAnd cause thine anger toward us to cease.

5  gWilt thou be angry with us for ever?

Wilt thou hdraw out thine anger to all generations?

6  Wilt thou not irevive us again:

That jthy people may rejoice in thee?

7  Shew us thy mercy, O Lord,

And grant us thy salvation.

8  kI will hear what God the Lord will speak:

For lhe will speak peace unto his people, and to mhis saints:

But let them not nturn again to ofolly.

9  Surely phis salvation is nigh them that fear him;

That qglory may dwell in our land.

10  rMercy and truth rrare met together;

sRighteousness and stpeace have kissed each other.

11  Truth shall uspring out of the earth;

And urighteousness shall look down from heaven.

12  Yea, xthe Lord shall give that which is good;

And your land shall yield her increase.

13  zRighteousness shall go before him;

And shall set us in the way of his steps.
