Psalms 85 [Commentary]
|
1. |
For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. O LORD, You showed favor to Your land; You restored the captivity of Jacob.
|
2. |
You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah.
|
3. |
You withdrew all Your fury; You turned away from Your burning anger.
|
4. |
Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.
|
5. |
Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?
|
6. |
Will You not Yourself revive us again, That Your people may rejoice in You?
|
7. |
Show us Your lovingkindness, O LORD, And grant us Your salvation.
|
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.
|
9. |
Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land.
|
10. |
Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
|
11. |
Truth springs from the earth, And righteousness looks down from heaven.
|
12. |
Indeed, the LORD will give what is good, And our land will yield its produce.
|
13. |
Righteousness will go before Him And will make His footsteps into a way.
