Psalms 85:2-13 ▼

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 {Elohe} 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 {YHWH}, and grant us Your salvation.

8 I will listen to what God the LORD {YHWH} 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.

11 Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.

12 The LORD {YHWH} will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

13 Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
