Psalms 85

1 Jehovah, thou have been favorable to thy land. Thou have brought back the captivity of Jacob.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Lord, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought againe the captiuitie of Iaakob.

2 Thou have forgiven the iniquity of thy people. Thou have covered all their sin. (Selah)

Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, and couered all their sinnes. (Selah)

3 Thou have taken away all thy wrath. Thou have turned from the fierceness of thine anger.

Thou hast withdrawen all thine anger, and hast turned backe from the fiercenes of thy wrath.

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

Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs.

5 Will thou be angry with us forever? Will thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? and wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?

6 Will thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Wilt thou not turne againe and quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee?

7 Show us thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.

Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord, and graunt vs thy saluation.

8 I will hear what God, Jehovah, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, and to his sanctified. But let them not turn again to folly.

I will hearken what the Lord God will say: for he will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saintes, that they turne not againe to follie.

9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Surely his saluation is neere to them that feare him, that glory may dwell in our land.

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

Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteousnes and peace shall kisse one another.

11 Truth springs out of the earth, and righteousness has looked down from heaven.

Trueth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousnes shall looke downe from heauen.

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

Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our land shall giue her increase.

13 Righteousness shall go before him, and shall make his footsteps a path.

Righteousnesse shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.
