Chapter 85 |
| 1 | Lord, thou
hast been favourable unto 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. Selah. |
|
3 | Thou hast taken away all thy wrath:
thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. |
| 4 | Turn
us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
|
| 5 | Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to
all generations? |
|
6 | Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may
rejoice in thee? |
|
7 | Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy
salvation. |
| 8
| I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will
speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to
folly. |
| 9 |
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory
may 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 that which is good; and our land shall yield
her increase. |
|
13 | Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us
in the way of his steps. |
