Context of Psalms 85:7

5Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations? 6Will You not revive us and bring us to life again, That Your people may rejoice in You? Show us Your lovingkindness, O Lord, And grant us Your salvation. 8I will hear [with expectant hope] what God the Lord will say, For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones— But let them not turn again to folly. 9Surely His salvation is near to those who [reverently] fear Him [and obey Him with submissive wonder], That glory [the manifest presence of God] may dwell in our land.
