| Chapter 85 |
1 | Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
|
2 | You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah.
|
3 | You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
|
4 | Turn us, God of our salvation, And cause your indignation toward us to cease.
|
5 | Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
|
6 | Won't you revive us again, That your people may rejoice in you?
|
7 | Show us your lovingkindness, Yahweh. Grant us your salvation.
|
8 | I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, For he will speak peace to his people, his saints; But let them not turn again to folly.
|
9 | Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.
|
10 | Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
|
11 | Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
|
12 | Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
|
13 | Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps. Psalm 86 A Prayer by David.
