Psalms
Chapter 85
- 1
Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
- 2
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
- 3
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
- 4
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
- 5
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
- 6
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
- 7
Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
- 8
I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
- 9
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
- 10
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
- 11
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
- 12
Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
- 13
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
