Psalm 85:1-13
You Showed Favor to Your Land

0 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

0:

1 LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

1:

2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

2:

3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.

3:

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

4:

5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

5:

6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

6:

7 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

7:

8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

8:

9 Surely his salvation [is] nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

9:

10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].

10:

11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

11:

12 Yea, the LORD shall give [that which is] good; and our land shall yield her increase.

12:

13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us] in the way of his steps.

13:
