Psalm 85
85
A Prayer for God's Mercy on Israel
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1 Lord, thou hast been favorable unto thy land:
thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people;
thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath:
thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4Turn us, O God of our salvation,
and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?
Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6Wilt thou not revive us again:
that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7Show us thy mercy, O Lord,
and grant us thy salvation.
8I 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.
9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him;
that glory may dwell in our land.
10Mercy and truth are met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11Truth shall spring out of the earth;
and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good;
and our land shall yield her increase.
13Righteousness shall go before him;
and shall set us in the way of his steps.

Psalm 85
For the choir director; a psalm by Korah’s descendants.
1You favored your land, O Lord.
You restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2You removed your people’s guilt.
You pardoned all their sins. Selah
3You laid aside all your fury.
You turned away from your burning anger.
4Restore us, O God, our savior.
Put an end to your anger against us.
5Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you ever let go of your anger in the generations to come?
6Won’t you restore our lives again
so that your people may find joy in you?
7Show us your mercy, O Lord,
by giving us your salvation.
8I want to hear what God the Lord says,
because he promises peace to his people, to his godly ones.
But they must not go back to their stupidity.
9Indeed, his salvation is near those who fear him,
and ⌞his⌟ glory will remain in our land.
10Mercy and truth have met.
Righteousness and peace have kissed.
11Truth sprouts from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12The Lord will certainly give us what is good,
and our land will produce crops.
13Righteousness will go ahead of him
and make a path for his steps.
