| Chapter 85 |
1 | For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Jehovah, thou hast been favorable 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 indignation 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 quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee? |
7 | Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation. |
8 | I will hear what God Jehovah 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 springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven. |
12 | Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good; And our land shall yield its increase. |
13 | Righteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way [to walk in]. |
