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.
Lord, you have been favorable to your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.
You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
4 Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
Will you be angry with us for ever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?
6 Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.
Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
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 hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.
Surely his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.
Yes, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13 Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
