Psalms
Chapter 85

85:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
85:2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah.
85:3 You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
85:4 Turn us, God of our salvation, And cause your indignation toward us to cease.
85:5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
85:6 Won't you revive us again, That your people may rejoice in you?
85:7 Show us your loving kindness, Yahweh. Grant us your salvation.
85:8 I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, For he will speak peace to his people, his saints; But let them not turn again to folly.
85:9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.
85:10 Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
85:11 Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
85:12 Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
85:13 Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.
