Psalm 85

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

YHWH, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob. You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah. You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger. Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease. Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations? Won’t you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? Show us your lovingkindness, YHWH. Grant us your salvation. I will hear what God, YHWH, will speak, for ʜᴇ will speak peace to ʜɪꜱ people, ʜɪꜱ saints; but let them not turn again to folly. Surely ʜɪꜱ salvation is near those who fear ʜɪᴍ, that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven. Yes, YHWH will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase. Righteousness goes before ʜɪᴍ, and prepares the way for ʜɪꜱ steps.
