Psalm 85
For the music leader. Of the Korahites. A psalm.
1 LORD, you’ve been kind to your land;
you’ve changed Jacob’s circumstances for the better.
2You’ve forgiven your people’s wrongdoing;
you’ve covered all their sins. Selah
3You’ve stopped being furious;
you’ve turned away from your burning anger.
4You, the God who can save us, restore us!
Stop being angry with us!
5Will you be mad at us forever?
Will you prolong your anger from one generation to the next?
6Won’t you bring us back to life again
so that your people can rejoice in you?
7Show us your faithful love, LORD!
Give us your salvation!
8Let me hear what the LORD God says,
because he speaks peace to his people and to his faithful ones.
Don’t let them return to foolish ways.
9God’s salvation is very close to those who honor him
so that his glory can live in our land.
10Faithful love and truth have met;
righteousness and peace have kissed.
11Truth springs up from the ground;
righteousness gazes down from heaven.
12Yes, the LORD gives what is good,
and our land yields its produce.
13Righteousness walks before God,
making a road for his steps.

Psalm 85
85
Revive Us Again
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of #Ps. 42, titlethe Sons of Korah.
1 Lord, you were #Ps. 77:7 favorable to your land;
you #Ps. 14:7restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2You #Ps. 32:1forgave the iniquity of your people;
you #Ps. 32:1covered all their sin. Selah
3You withdrew all your wrath;
you #Ps. 78:38; 106:23; Ex. 32:12; Deut. 13:17; Jonah 3:9turned from your hot anger.
4 # See Ps. 80:3 Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
and put away your indignation toward us!
5 # [Ps. 79:5] Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
6Will you not #Ps. 71:20 revive us again,
that your people may #Ps. 90:14; 149:2rejoice in you?
7Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
and grant us your salvation.
8 # [Hab. 2:1] Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
for he will #Zech. 9:10; [Hag. 2:9] speak peace to his people, to his #See Ps. 50:5 saints;
but let them not #[2 Pet. 2:21] turn back to #[Ps. 49:13]folly.
9Surely his #Isa. 46:13 salvation is near to those who fear him,
that #Zech. 2:5; [John 1:14]glory may dwell in our land.
10 #
Ps. 89:14; See Ps. 40:11 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
# [Isa. 45:8]; See Ps. 72:3 righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12Yes, #Ps. 84:11; [James 1:17] the Lord will give what is good,
and our land #See Ps. 67:6will yield its increase.
13 #
Ps. 89:14; Isa. 58:8 Righteousness will go before him
and make his footsteps a way.
