| Chapter 85
|
1 | Lord, thou hast
been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity 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 | Turn us,
O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger 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 mercy, 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, and to his
saints: but let them not turn again to folly. |
9 | Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him;
that glory may dwell in our land. |
10 | Mercy 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 her increase. |
13 |
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his
steps. |
