Psalm 85, NEW KING JAMES VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

LORD, You have been favourable to Your land;
You have brought back the captivity 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;
You have turned 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, 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 to those who fear Him,
That glory may dwell in our land.
 

10

Mercy and truth have met together;
Righteousness and peace have kissed.
 

11

Truth shall spring out of the earth,
And righteousness shall look down from heaven.
 

12

Yes, the LORD will give what is good;
And our land will yield its increase.
 

13

Righteousness will go before Him,
And shall make His footsteps our pathway.
