Psalm 85

85:1

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.

85:2

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

85:3

You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.

85:4

Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.

85:5

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

85:6

Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?

85:7

Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.

85:8

I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.

85:9

Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.

85:10

Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.

85:11

Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.

85:12

The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

85:13

Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
