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
85
Psalm 85
For the director of music. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1 Lord, you were good to your land.
You blessed the people of Jacob with great success again.
2You forgave the evil things your people did.
You took away all their sins.
3You stopped being angry with them.
You turned your great anger away from them.
4God our Savior, make us new again.
Stop being unhappy with us.
5Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you be angry for all time to come?
6Won’t you give us new life again?
Then we’ll be joyful because of what you have done.
7 Lord, show us your faithful love.
Save us.
8I will listen to what God the Lord says.
He promises peace to his faithful people.
But they must not turn to foolish ways.
9I know he’s ready to save those who have respect for him.
Then his glory can be seen in our land.
10God’s truth and faithful love join together.
His peace and holiness kiss each other.
11His truth springs up from the earth.
His holiness looks down from heaven.
12The Lord will certainly give what is good.
Our land will produce its crops.
13God’s holiness leads the way in front of him.
It prepares the way for his coming.
