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.

PSALM 85.
1A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.
2Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.
3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.
4Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
5For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
6Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.
7I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.
8There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.
9All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.
10For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.
11Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:
13For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.
14O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee before their eyes.
15And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.
16O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17Shew me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and hast comforted me.
