Psalms 85 · Clearspring

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

You Showed Favor to Your Land

¹You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.+ ²You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah+ ³You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.+ ⁴Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.+ ⁵Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?+ ⁶Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?+ ⁷Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.+ ⁸I 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.+ ⁹Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.+ ¹⁰Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.+ ¹¹Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.+ ¹²The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.+ ¹³Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.+
