Psalm - 85

picture

1 O Lord, You showed favor to Your land; You restored the captivity of Jacob.

2 Y ou forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah.

3 Y ou withdrew all Your fury; You turned away from Your burning anger.

4 R estore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.

5 W ill You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?

6 W ill You not Yourself revive us again, That Your people may rejoice in You?

7 S how us Your lovingkindness, O Lord, And grant us Your salvation.

8 I will hear what God the Lord will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; But let them not turn back to folly.

9 S urely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land.

10 L ovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 T ruth springs from the earth, And righteousness looks down from heaven.

12 I ndeed, the Lord will give what is good, And our land will yield its produce.

13 R ighteousness will go before Him And will make His footsteps into a way.
