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

Hope in God’s Future Help
For the music director. Of the sons of Korah. A psalm.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1O Yahweh, you favored your land.
You restored the fortunes#Or “captivity” of Jacob.
2You took away the guilt#Or “You forgave the iniquity” of your people;
you covered all their sin. Selah
3You withdrew all your wrath;
you turned from your burning anger.
4Restore us, O God of our salvation,
and annul your vexation with us.
5Will you be angry against us forever?
Will you prolong your anger generation after generation?
6Will you not again revive us,
that your people might rejoice in you?
7Show us, O Yahweh, your loyal love,
and grant us your salvation.
8I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak,
because he will speak peace
to his people, even his faithful ones,#Hebrew “and to his faithful”
but let them not return to folly.
9Surely his salvation is near for those who fear him,
that glory may abide in our land.
10Loyal love and faithfulness#Or “truth” will meet one another;
righteousness and peace will kiss.
11Faithfulness#Or “Truth” will sprout from the ground,
and righteousness will look down from heaven.
12Yes, Yahweh will give what is good,
and our land will give its produce.
13Righteousness will go before him,
and it will make his steps a pathway.
