Psalm 85

Revised Version 1895

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy peopleH776, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah

3Thou hast takenH5375 awayH5375 allH3605 thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine angerH5375.

4TurnH7725 usH7725, O God of our salvation, and causeH7725 thine indignation towardH7725 usH7725 to cease.

5Wilt thou be angry with usH7725 for everH7725? wilt thou drawH7725 out thine anger to all generations?

6Wilt thou not quicken us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

7Shew usH7725 thy mercy, O LORD, and grant usH7725 thy salvation.

8I will hear what GodH3068 the LORDH3068 will speak: for he will speak peace unto his peopleH7200, and to his saints: but letH5414 them not turnH5414 again to folly.

9SurelyH3588 his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

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

11TruthH571 springeth out of the earth; and righteousnessH6664 hath looked clown from heaven.

12Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our landH776 shall yield her increase.

13Righteousness shall go before him; and shall makeH5414 his footsteps a way to walk in.
