Psalm 85
Turn Us Back, O God
85For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.
O Yahweh, You showed afavor to Your land;You 1,breturned the fortunes of Jacob.2You aforgave the iniquity of Your people;You bcovered all their sin. 1 Selah.3You awithdrew all Your fury;You bturned back from Your burning anger.4aTurn us back, O God of our salvation,And bcause Your vexation toward us to cease.5Will aYou be angry with us forever?Will You prolong Your anger from generation to generation?6Will You not Yourself areturn to 1revive us,That Your people may bbe glad in You?7Show us, O Yahweh, Your lovingkindness,And agive us Your salvation.8Let me hear what the God, Yahweh, will speak;For He will aspeak peace to His people, 1to His holy ones;But let them not bturn back to 2folly.9Surely aHis salvation is near to those who 1fear Him,That bglory may dwell in our land.10aLovingkindness and 1truth have met together;bRighteousness and peace have kissed each other.111Truth asprings up from the earth,And righteousness looks down from heaven.12Indeed, aYahweh will give what is good,And our bland will yield its produce.13aRighteousness will go before HimAnd will establish the way of His steps.
