Psalms 85:1-7

1Lord, you have blessed your land. You have made Jacob's descendants strong again.

2You forgave your people's sins. You took away their guilt. Selah

3You stopped being so angry with them. You did not punish them any more.

4But now turn back to us, and make us strong again, God. You are the one who rescues us. Please stop being angry with us.

5Will you continue to be angry with us for ever? Will you be angry with our children too?

6Please turn back to us and give us new life! Then your people will be happy and they will praise you.

7Lord, show us again your faithful love! Please rescue us!
