Psalms 85

Excerpt

1 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.
