Psalms 85

1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm. Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away 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 hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.

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

3 Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.

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

4 Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.

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

5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?

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

6 Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.

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

7 Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.

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

8 I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.

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 to them that 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 have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.

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

11 Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.

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

12 For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.

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

13 Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.

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