Psalms 85
1 For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. A psalm.
2 LORD, you have shown favor to your land; you have restored Jacob’s fortunes.
3 You took away the guilt of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah.
4 You withdrew all your fury; you turned away from the heat of your anger.
5 Restore us, God of our salvation, and put an end to your indignation against us.
6 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you extend your anger from generation to generation?
7 Will you not give us life again, so that your people may rejoice in you?
8 Show us your steadfast love, LORD, and grant us your salvation.
9 I will listen to what God, the LORD, will speak: he speaks peace to his people and to his faithful ones, and that they should not return to folly.
10 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, so that glory may dwell in our land.
11 Steadfast love and faithfulness have met; righteousness and peace have kissed.
12 Faithfulness springs up from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
13 The LORD will also give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.
14 Righteousness will go before him and set his footsteps on the way.
