Psalms 85

ASV(i) 1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Jehovah, thou hast been favorable 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 indignation 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 quicken us again,
That thy people may rejoice in thee? 7 Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah,
And grant us thy salvation. 8 I will hear what God Jehovah 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 springeth out of the earth;
And righteousness hath looked down from heaven. 12 Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good;
And our land shall yield its increase. 13 Righteousness shall go before him,
And shall make his footsteps a way [to walk in].
