Psalms 85:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 85:1

1 Lord, You have been favorable to Your land;
You have ^abrought back the captivity of Jacob.

2 You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people;
You have covered all their sin. Selah

3 You have taken away all Your wrath;
You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.

4 ^aRestore us, O God of our salvation,
And cause Your anger toward us to cease.

5 ^aWill You be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?

6 Will You not ^arevive us again,
That Your people may rejoice in You?

7 Show us Your mercy, Lord,
And grant us Your salvation.

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 to¹ folly.

9 Surely ^aHis salvation is near to those who fear Him,
^bThat glory may dwell in our land.

10 Mercy and truth have met together;
^aRighteousness and peace have kissed.

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

12 ^aYes, the Lord will give what is good;
And our land will yield its increase.

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