Psalms — Chapter 85

1LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

6Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

7Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

8I 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.

9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

10Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

12Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

13Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

1Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah

3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.

4Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

6Wilt thou not quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?

7Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation.

8I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly.

9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.

10Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

12Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good; And our land shall yield its increase.

13Righteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way [to walk in]. Psalm 86 A Prayer of David

1For the music director, written by the Korahites, a psalm. O Lord, you showed favor to your land; you restored the well-being of Jacob.

2You pardoned the wrongdoing of your people; you forgave all their sin. (Selah)

3You withdrew all your fury; you turned back from your raging anger.

4Restore us, O God our deliverer. Do not be displeased with us.

5Will you stay mad at us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations?

6Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you.

7O Lord, show us your loyal love. Bestow on us your deliverance.

8I will listen to what God the Lord says. For he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers. Yet they must not return to their foolish ways.

9Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance; then his splendor will again appear in our land.

10Loyal love and faithfulness meet; deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss.

11Faithfulness grows from the ground, and deliverance looks down from the sky.

12Yes, the Lord will bestow his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops.

13Deliverance goes before him, and prepares a pathway for him.

1Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.

2You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah.

3You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.

4Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.

5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?

6Won’t you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

7Show us your loving kindness, Yahweh. Grant us your salvation.

8I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to folly.

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

10Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.

12Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

13Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.
