85:1 {To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob: 85:2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. 85:3 Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger. 85:4 Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease. 85:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation? 85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee? 85:7 Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation. 85:8 I will hear what God, Jehovah, will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his godly ones: but let them not turn again to folly. 85:9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. 85:10 Loving-kindness and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other: 85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens. 85:12 Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase. 85:13 Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way. 85:14 {A Prayer of David.} Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.
