85:1 [To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.] LORD, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. 85:2 You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah 85:3 You withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your hot anger. 85:4 Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us! 85:5 Will you be angry with us forever Will you prolong your anger to all generations 85:6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you 85:7 Show us your steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. 85:8 Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. 85:9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. 85:10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. 85:11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky. 85:12 Yes, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. 85:13 Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.
