Psalms

85 0 To the chief Musician, A Psalm ¹for the sons of Korah.

1 LORD, ^athou hast been ²favourable unto thy land: ^bthou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

2 Thou ^chast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

3 Thou ^dhast taken away all thy wrath: ³thou hast ^eturned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

4 ^fTurn us, O God of our salvation, ^gand cause thine anger toward us to cease.

5 ^hWilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

6 ⁱWilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

7 ^jShew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

8 I ^kwill hear what God the LORD will speak: ^lfor he will speak peace unto his people, and to ^mhis saints: but ⁿlet them not turn again to folly.

9 ^oSurely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that ^pglory may dwell in our land.

10 ^qMercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 ^rTruth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

12 Yea, ^sthe LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

13 ^tRighteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
