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 Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm.
1Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.
4Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.
5To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
6Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
7Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
8I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.
9Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.
10Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
12 Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
13Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
