Psalms 085
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the
sons of Korah.
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.
Youhave turned fromthefierceness 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 loving kindness, 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.
