85:1  LORD, You have been favorable to Your land;
You have brought back the captivity 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  Restore us, O God of our salvation,
And cause Your anger 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 revive us again,
That Your people may rejoice in You?

85:7  Show us Your mercy, LORD,
And grant us Your salvation.

85:8  I will hear what God the LORD will speak,
For He will speak peace
To His people and to His saints;
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  Mercy and truth have met together;
Righteousness and peace have kissed.

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

85:12  Yes, the LORD will give what is good;
And our land will yield its increase.

85:13  Righteousness will go before Him,
And shall make His footsteps our pathway.
