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
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1 Lord, thou wast favorable to thy land;
thou didst restore the fortunes of Jacob.
2Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people;
thou didst pardon all their sin. Selah
3Thou didst withdraw all thy wrath;
thou didst turn from thy hot anger.
4Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
and put away thy indignation toward us!
5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?
Wilt thou prolong thy anger to all generations?
6Wilt thou not revive us again,
that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7Show us thy steadfast love, O Lord,
and grant us thy salvation.
8Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people,
to his saints, to those who turn to him in their hearts.#85.8 Gk: Heb but let them not turn back to folly
9Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet;
righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
11Faithfulness will spring up from the ground,
and righteousness will look down from the sky.
12Yea, the Lord will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
13Righteousness will go before him,
and make his footsteps a way.
