The Book of Psalms
CHAPTER 85. LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast restored the fortunes 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 Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation 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 lovingkindness, 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, unto his saints: to them that turn to him in their hearts.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Lovingkindness 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 its increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall prepare the way of his steps.
