Psalm Chapter 85 Back NextPsalm 85 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of
Korah.
{85:1} Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of
Jacob.
{85:2} You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah.
{85:3} You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
{85:4} Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
{85:5} Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
{85:6} Won't you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
{85:7} Show us your loving kindness, Yahweh. Grant us your salvation.
{85:8} I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to folly.
{85:9} Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
{85:10} Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have
kissed each other.
{85:11} Truth springs out of the
earth. Righteousness has looked down from
heaven.
{85:12} Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
{85:13} Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.
