Psalms 85
Prayer for God’s Mercy upon the Nation.
For the music director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 Lord, You showed afavor to Your land;
You brestored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 You cforgave the guilt of Your people;
You dcovered all their sin. Selah
3 You ewithdrew all Your fury;
You fturned away from Your burning anger.
4 gRestore us, God of our salvation,
And hcause Your indignation toward us to cease.
5 Will iYou be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger to ▼
▼Lit generation and generation
all generations? 6 Will You not ▼
▼Or bring to life
lrevive us again, So that Your people may mrejoice in You?
7 Show us Your mercy, Lord,
And ngrant us Your salvation.
8 ▼
▼Or Let me hear
I will hear what God the Lord will say; For He will pspeak peace to His people, to His godly ones;
And may they not qturn back to ▼
▼I.e., foolish self-confidence
foolishness. 9 Certainly sHis salvation is near to those who ▼
▼Or revere
fear Him, That uglory may dwell in our land.
10 vGraciousness and ▼
▼Or faithfulness
truth have met together; xRighteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 ▼
▼Or Faithfulness
Truth zsprouts from the earth, And righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 Indeed, aathe Lord will give what is good,
And our abland will yield its produce.
13 acRighteousness will go before Him
And will make His footsteps into a way.
