Psalm 85
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.
8 I 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.
