PSALM 85
1For the lead player, for the Korahites, a psalm.
2You favored, O LORD, Your land,
You restored the fortunes of Jacob.
3You forgave Your people’s crime,
You covered all their offense.
selah
4You laid aside all Your wrath,
You turned back from Your blazing fury.
5Turn back, pray, God of our rescue
and undo Your anger against us.
6Will You forever be incensed with us,
will You draw out Your fury through all generations?
7Why, You—will again give us life,
and Your people will rejoice in You.
8Show us, O LORD, Your kindness,
and Your rescue grant to us.
9Let me hear what the LORD God would speak
when He speaks peace to His people and to His faithful,
that they turn not back to folly.
10Yes, His rescue is near for those who fear Him,
that His glory dwell in our land.
11Kindness and truth have met,
justice and peace have kissed.
12Truth from the earth will spring up,
as justice from the heavens looks down.
13The LORD indeed will grant bounty
and our land will grant its yield.
14Justice before Him goes,
