Chapter 85

  To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.  

-

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

-

  Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.  

-

  Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.  

-

  Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?  

-

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

-

  Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.  

-

  I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.  

-

  Surely his salvation [is] nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.  

-

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

-

  Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.  

-

  Yea, the LORD shall give [that which is] good; and our land shall yield her increase.  

-

  Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us] in the way of his steps.
