85:1  {To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob:

85:2  Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

85:3  Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.

85:4  Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

85:5  Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?

85:6  Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

85:7  Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.

85:8  I will hear what ùGod, Jehovah, will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his godly ones: but let them not turn again to folly.

85:9  Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

85:10  Loving-kindness and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other:

85:11  Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens.

85:12  Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase.

85:13  Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way.
