King James VersionPsalms85

Psalms

1 LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the cap­tiv­i­ty of Ja­cob.
2 Thou hast for­giv­en the in­iq­ui­ty of thy peo­ple, thou hast cov­ered all their sin. Se­lah.
3 Thou hast tak­en away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierce­ness of thine anger.
4 Turn us, O God of our sal­va­tion, and cause thine anger to­ward us to cease.
5 Wilt thou be an­gry with us for ev­er? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all gen­er­a­tions?
6 Wilt thou not re­vive us again: that thy peo­ple may re­joice in thee?
7 Shew us thy mer­cy, O LORD, and grant us thy sal­va­tion.
8 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.
9 Sure­ly his sal­va­tion is nigh them that fear him; that glo­ry may dwell in our land.
10 Mer­cy and truth are met to­geth­er; righ­teous­ness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righ­teous­ness shall look down from heav­en.
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her in­crease.
13 Righ­teous­ness shall go be­fore him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
