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
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land;
Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people;
Thou hast covered all their sin. [Selah
3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath;
Thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4Turn us, O God of our salvation,
And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.
5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?
Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6Wilt thou not quicken us again,
That thy people may rejoice in thee?
7Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah,
And grant us thy salvation.
8I 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.
9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him,
That glory may dwell in our land.
10Mercy and truth are met together;
Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11Truth springeth out of the earth;
And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
12Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good;
And our land shall yield its increase.
13Righteousness shall go before him,
And shall make his footsteps a way to walk in.
