Psalms Chapter 85

God Has Forgiven and Restored
1   LORD, you have been favorable unto your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2   You  have  forgiven  the  iniquity  of  your people, you have covered all their sin. Selah.
3   You have taken away all your anger: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
4   Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.
5   Will you be angry with us forever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?
6   Will  you  not  revive  us  again:  that  your people may rejoice in you?
7   Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
8   I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his holy ones: but let them not turn again to folly.
9   Surely his salvation is near those 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 its increase.
13   Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
