| Chapter 85 |
1 | To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
|
2 | Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
|
3 | Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.
|
4 | Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
|
5 | Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
|
6 | Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
|
7 | Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
|
8 | I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
|
9 | Surely his salvation [is] nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
|
10 | Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].
|
11 | Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
|
12 | Yea, the LORD shall give [that which is] good; and our land shall yield her increase.
|
13 | Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us] in the way of his steps.
