85:1 {To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob:
85:2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
85:3 Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.
85:4 Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.
85:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?
85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
85:7 Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.
85:8 I will hear what łGod, Jehovah, will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his godly ones: but let them not turn again to folly.
85:9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
85:10 Loving-kindness and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other:
85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens.
85:12 Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase.
85:13 Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way.
