85:1 [For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah]. O Lord, Thou didst show favor to Thy land; Thou didst restore the captivity of Jacob. 85:2 Thou didst forgive the iniquity of Thy people; Thou didst cover all their sin. Selah. 85:3 Thou didst withdraw all Thy fury; Thou didst turn away from Thy burning anger. 85:4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Thine indignation toward us to cease. 85:5 Wilt Thou be angry with us forever? Wilt Thou prolong Thine anger to all generations? 85:6 Wilt Thou not Thyself revive us again, That Thy people may rejoice in Thee? 85:7 Show us Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, And grant us Thy salvation. 85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; But let them not turn back to folly. 85:9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land. 85:10 Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 85:11 Truth springs from the earth; And righteousness looks down from heaven. 85:12 Indeed, the LORD will give what is good; And our land will yield its produce. 85:13 Righteousness will go before Him, And will make His footsteps into a way. 85:14
