| 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. |
