| Chapter 85 |
1 |
{To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob: --
|
2 |
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. --
|
3 |
Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger. --
|
4 |
Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease. --
|
5 |
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation? --
|
6 |
Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee? --
|
7 |
Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation. --
|
8 |
I will hear what łGod, Jehovah, will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his godly ones: but let them not turn again to folly. --
|
9 |
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. --
|
10 |
Loving-kindness and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other: --
|
11 |
Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens. --
|
12 |
Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase. --
|
13 |
Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way. --
