PSALM 85
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1O Lord, thou hast been favourable
to thy beloved land:
Jacob's captivity thou hast
recall'd with mighty hand.
2Thou pardoned thy people hast
all their iniquities;
Thou all their trespasses and sins
hast cover'd from thine eyes.
3Thou took'st off all thine ire, and turn'dst
from thy wrath's furiousness.
4Turn us, God of our health, and cause
thy wrath 'gainst us to cease.
5Shall thy displeasure thus endure
against us without end?
Wilt thou to generations all
thine anger forth extend?
6That in thee may thy people joy,
wilt thou not us revive?
7Shew us thy mercy, Lord, to us
do thy salvation give.
8I'll hear what God the Lord will speak:
to his folk he'll speak peace,
And to his saints; but let them not
return to foolishness.
9To them that fear him surely near
is his salvation;
That glory in our land may have
her habitation.
10Truth met with mercy, righteousness
and peace kiss'd mutually:
11Truth springs from earth, and righteousness
looks down from heaven high.
12Yea, what is good the Lord shall give;
our land shall yield increase:
13Justice, to set us in his steps,
shall go before his face.

Psalms 85
85
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1 Lord, thou wast favorable to thy land;
thou didst restore the fortunes of Jacob.
2Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people;
thou didst pardon all their sin. Selah
3Thou didst withdraw all thy wrath;
thou didst turn from thy hot anger.
4Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
and put away thy indignation toward us!
5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?
Wilt thou prolong thy anger to all generations?
6Wilt thou not revive us again,
that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7Show us thy steadfast love, O Lord,
and grant us thy salvation.
8Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people,
to his saints, to those who turn to him in their hearts.#85.8 Gk: Heb but let them not turn back to folly
9Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet;
righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
11Faithfulness will spring up from the ground,
and righteousness will look down from the sky.
12Yea, the Lord will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
13Righteousness will go before him,
and make his footsteps a way.
