Psalms 85

  1. 1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

  2. 2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. [Selah

  3. 3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.

  4. 4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

  5. 5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

  6. 6 Wilt thou not quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?

  7. 7 Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation.

  8. 8 I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly.

  9. 9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.

  10. 10 Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

  11. 11 Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

  12. 12 Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good; And our land shall yield its increase.

  13. 13 Righteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way [to walk in].
