Psalms, Psalm 85

O LORD, You showed favor to Your land;
You^arestored the captivity of Jacob.

You forgave the iniquity of Your people;
You covered all their sin.^bSelah.

You withdrew all Your fury;
You turned away from Your burning anger.

⁴

Restore us, O God of our salvation,
And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.

⁵

Will You be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger to^call generations?

⁶

Will You not Yourself^drevive us again,
That Your people may rejoice in You?

⁷

Show us Your lovingkindness, O LORD,
And grant us Your salvation.

⁸

^eI will hear what God the LORD will say;
For He will speak peace to His people,^fto His godly ones;
But let them not turn back to^gfolly.

⁹

Surely His salvation is near to those who^hfear Him,
That glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰

Lovingkindness andⁱtruth have met together;
Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

¹¹

^jTruth springs from the earth,
And righteousness looks down from heaven.

¹²

Indeed, the LORD will give what is good,
And our land will yield its produce.

¹³

Righteousness will go before Him
And will make His footsteps into a way.
