Psalms 85

For the end, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

1 O Lord, You have taken pleasure in Your land; You have turned back the captivity of Jacob. 2 You have forgiven Your people their transgressions; You have covered all their sins. Pause. 3 You have caused all Your wrath to cease; You have turned from Your fierce anger. 4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn Your anger away from us. 5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You continue Your wrath from generation to generation? 6 O God, turn and revive us; and Your people shall rejoice in You. 7 Show us Your mercy, O Lord, and grant us Your salvation. 8 I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me; for He shall speak peace to His people, and to His saints, and to those that turn their heart toward Him. 9 Moreover His salvation is near to them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 11 Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven. 12 For the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield its fruit. 13 Righteousness shall go before Him; and shall make His footsteps our pathway.
