Context of Psalms 85:7
5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you ever let go of your anger in the generations to come? 6Won’t you restore our lives again so that your people may find joy in you? Show us your mercy, O Lord, by giving us your salvation. 8I want to hear what God the Lord says, because he promises peace to his people, to his godly ones. But they must not go back to their stupidity. 9Indeed, his salvation is near those who fear him, and ⌞his⌟ glory will remain in our land.
