Psalms

Chapter 85

  1. 1

    Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

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

  8. 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. 9

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

  10. 10

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

  11. 11

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

  12. 12

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

  13. 13

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