PsalmsPsalm 85 |
|
1 LORD, thou hast been favorable to thy land; thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. |
|
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. |
|
3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; thou hast withdrawn the fierceness of thine anger. |
|
4 Restore us, O God our Saviour, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. |
|
5 Be not angry with us for ever; hold not thine anger against all generations. |
|
6 Restore us and revive us, that thy people may rejoice in thee. |
|
7 Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. |
|
8 We will hear what the LORD our God will speak; for he will speak peace to his people and to his saints, that they may not turn again to folly. |
|
9 Surely his salvation is near them that reverence him; let his glory 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 his goodness; and the land shall yield its fruits. |
|
13 And the righteous shall go before him; and he shall establish his ways upon the earth. |
