Psalms 85

1- To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. - Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.● 2The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah.)● 3You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.● 4Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.● 5Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?● 6Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?● 7Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.● 8I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.● 9Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.● 10Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.● 11Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.● 12The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.● 13Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.●
