85:1 O LORD, You showed favor to Your land; You restored the captivity of Jacob. |
85:2 You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah. |
85:3 You withdrew all Your fury; You turned away from Your burning anger. |
85:4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your indignation toward us to cease. |
85:5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations? |
85:6 Will You not Yourself revive us again, That Your people may rejoice in You? |
85:7 Show us Your lovingkindness, O LORD, And grant us Your salvation. |
85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; But let them not turn back to folly. |
85:9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land. |
85:10 Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. |
85:11 Truth springs from the earth, And righteousness looks down from heaven. |
85:12 Indeed, the LORD will give what is good, And our land will yield its produce. |
85:13 Righteousness will go before Him And will make His footsteps into a way. |
