Context of Psalms 85:7

5Will you stay mad at us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations? 6Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you! O Lord, show us your loyal love! Bestow on us your deliverance! 8I will listen to what God the Lord says. For he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers. Yet they must not return to their foolish ways. 9Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance; then his splendor will again appear in our land.
