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.
