Psalm 85

^85:1 O Lord, you showed favor to your land; you restored the well-being of Jacob. ^85:2 You pardoned the wrongdoing of your people; you forgave all their sin. (Selah) ^85:3 You withdrew all your fury; you turned back from your raging anger. ^85:4 Restore us, O God our deliverer. Do not be displeased with us. ^85:5 Will you stay mad at us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations? ^85:6 Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you. ^85:7 O Lord, show us your loyal love. Bestow on us your deliverance. ^85:8 I 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. ^85:9 Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance; then his splendor will again appear in our land. ^85:10 Loyal love and faithfulness meet; deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss. ^85:11 Faithfulness grows from the ground, and deliverance looks down from the sky. ^85:12 Yes, the Lord will bestow his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops. ^85:13 Deliverance goes before him, and prepares a pathway for him.
