Psalm, 85

For the director. Of the sons of Korʹah. A melody.

¹ You have shown favor, O Jehovah, to your land; You brought back those of Jacob who were taken captive.

² You have pardoned the error of your people; You forgave^*1 all their sin. (Selah)

³ You held back all your fury; You turned away from your hot anger.

⁴ Restore us,^*1 O God of our salvation, And set aside your displeasure with us.

⁵ Will you be furious with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to generation after generation?

⁶ Will you not revive us again So that your people may rejoice in you?

⁷ Show your loyal love to us, O Jehovah, And grant us your salvation.

⁸ I will listen to what the true God Jehovah says, For he will speak peace to his people, to his loyal ones, But let them not return to overconfidence.

⁹ Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, So that his glory may reside in our land.

¹⁰ Loyal love and faithfulness will meet together; Righteousness and peace will kiss each other.

¹¹ Faithfulness will sprout from the earth, And righteousness will look down from the heavens.

¹² Yes, Jehovah will give what is good,^*1 And our land will yield its harvest.

¹³ Righteousness will walk before him And make a path for his footsteps.
