Psalms 85Prayer For God’s Mercy Upon The Nation
To The Chief Musician, A Psalm For The Sons Of Korah
King James Version
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;unto his people, and to his saints:
but let them not turn again to folly.
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.
