Psalms 85:1-7 ▼

1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm. Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.

3 Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.

4 Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.

5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?

6 Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.

7 Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.
