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.

PSALM 85
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1O Lord, thou hast been favourable
to thy beloved land:
Jacob's captivity thou hast
recall'd with mighty hand.
2Thou pardoned thy people hast
all their iniquities;
Thou all their trespasses and sins
hast cover'd from thine eyes.
3Thou took'st off all thine ire, and turn'dst
from thy wrath's furiousness.
4Turn us, God of our health, and cause
thy wrath 'gainst us to cease.
5Shall thy displeasure thus endure
against us without end?
Wilt thou to generations all
thine anger forth extend?
6That in thee may thy people joy,
wilt thou not us revive?
7Shew us thy mercy, Lord, to us
do thy salvation give.
8I'll hear what God the Lord will speak:
to his folk he'll speak peace,
And to his saints; but let them not
return to foolishness.
9To them that fear him surely near
is his salvation;
That glory in our land may have
her habitation.
10Truth met with mercy, righteousness
and peace kiss'd mutually:
11Truth springs from earth, and righteousness
looks down from heaven high.
12Yea, what is good the Lord shall give;
our land shall yield increase:
13Justice, to set us in his steps,
shall go before his face.
