Psalms 85

¹For the music director, a psalm of the sons of Korah.

²Adonai , will you favor Your land? Will You restore Jacob from captivity?

³Will You bear away Your people’s iniquity, Will You pardon all their sin? Selah

⁴Will You withdraw all Your wrath? Will You turn from Your burning anger?

⁵Restore us, O God of our salvation, and renounce Your indignation with us.

⁶Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger from generation to generation?

⁷Will You not revive us again, so Your people may rejoice in You?

⁸Show us Your mercy, Adonai , and grant us Your salvation.

⁹Let me hear what God Adonai will say. For He will speak shalom to His people, and to His kedoshim — but let them not turn back to folly.

¹⁰Surely His salvation is near those who fear Him, so that glory may dwell in our land.

¹¹Lovingkindness and truth meet together. Righteousness and shalom kiss each other.

¹²Truth will spring up from the earth, and justice will look down from heaven.

¹³Yes, Adonai will give what is good, and our land will yield its produce.

¹⁴Righteousness is going before Him and prepares a way for His feet.
