85:1  

  • To the Chief Musician. A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O LORD, You have shown favor to Your land; You have brought back Jacob from exile.
  • 85:2  You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; You have covered all their sins. 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 draw out Your anger to all generations?

    85:6  Will You not give us life again, so that Your people may rejoice in You?

    85:7  Show us Your mercy, O 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 again to folly.

    85:9  Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, so that glory may dwell in our land.

    85:10  Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

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

    85:12  Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good, and our land shall yield its increase.

    85:13  Righteousness shall go before Him and shall set us in the way of His steps.
