To the chief musician, a psalm for the sons of Korah
85
📚LORD, you have been favourable
to your land.
You have brought Jacob back
from captivity.
2 📚You have forgiven the wickedness
of your people.
You have covered all their sin. Selah
3 📚You have removed
all your wrath.
You have turned away from
the fierceness of your anger.
4 📚Restore us, O God of
our salvation,
and cause your anger toward us
to cease.
5 📚Will you be angry with us
forever?
Will you prolong your anger
to all generations?
6 📚Will you not revive us again,
that your people may rejoice
in you?
7 📚Show us your mercy, O LORD,
and grant us your salvation.
8 📚I will hear what God the LORD
will speak;
for he will speak peace
to his people, and to his saints.
But let them not turn back to folly.
9 📚Surely his salvation is
near those who fear him,
so that glory may dwell
in our land.
10 📚Mercy and truth have met
together;
righteousness and peace have kissed
each other.
11 📚Truth will spring out
of the earth,
and righteousness will look down
from heaven.
12 📚Yes, the LORD will give what
is good,
and our land will yield its crops.
13 📚Righteousness will go before
him,
and will set us in the way
of his steps.
