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.

Psalms 85
85
For the choir director: A psalm of the descendants of Korah.
1 Lord, you poured out blessings on your land!
You restored the fortunes of Israel.#85:1 Hebrew of Jacob. See note on 44:4.
2You forgave the guilt of your people—
yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude
3You held back your fury.
You kept back your blazing anger.
4Now restore us again, O God of our salvation.
Put aside your anger against us once more.
5Will you be angry with us always?
Will you prolong your wrath to all generations?
6Won’t you revive us again,
so your people can rejoice in you?
7Show us your unfailing love, O Lord,
and grant us your salvation.
8I listen carefully to what God the Lord is saying,
for he speaks peace to his faithful people.
But let them not return to their foolish ways.
9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
so our land will be filled with his glory.
10Unfailing love and truth have met together.
Righteousness and peace have kissed!
11Truth springs up from the earth,
and righteousness smiles down from heaven.
12Yes, the Lord pours down his blessings.
Our land will yield its bountiful harvest.
13Righteousness goes as a herald before him,
preparing the way for his steps.
