Psalms 85:1-10 ▼

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.

2 You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah

3 You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.

4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.

5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

6 Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?

7 Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.

8 I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.

9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.

10 Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
