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
A Prayer for the Nation's Welfare#Ps 85 Hebrew title: A psalm by the clan of Korah.
1 LORD, you have been merciful to your land;
you have made Israel prosperous again.
2You have forgiven your people's sins
and pardoned all their wrongs.
3You stopped being angry with them
and held back your furious rage.
4Bring us back, O God our saviour,
and stop being displeased with us!
5Will you be angry with us for ever?
Will your anger never cease?
6Make us strong again,
and we, your people, will praise you.
7Show us your constant love, O LORD,
and give us your saving help.
8I am listening to what the LORD God is saying;
he promises peace to us, his own people,
if we do not go back to our foolish ways.
9Surely he is ready to save those who honour him,
and his saving presence will remain in our land.
10Love and faithfulness will meet;
righteousness and peace will embrace.
11Human loyalty will reach up from the earth,
and God's righteousness will look down from heaven.
12The LORD will make us prosperous,
and our land will produce rich harvests.
13Righteousness will go before the LORD
and prepare the path for him.
