# Chapter 85
|
||
1 Lord, you poured out blessings on your land!
|
||
You restored the fortunes of Israel.
|
||
2 You forgave the guilt of your people—
|
||
yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude
|
||
3 You held back your fury.
|
||
You kept back your blazing anger.
|
||
4 Now restore us again, O God of our salvation.
|
||
Put aside your anger against us once more.
|
||
5 Will you be angry with us always?
|
||
Will you prolong your wrath to all generations?
|
||
6 Won’t you revive us again,
|
||
so your people can rejoice in you?
|
||
7 Show us your unfailing love, O Lord,
|
||
and grant us your salvation.
|
||
8 I listen carefully to what God the Lord is saying,
|
||
for he speaks peace to his faithful people.
|
||
But let them not return to their foolish ways.
|
||
9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
|
||
so our land will be filled with his glory.
|
||
10 Unfailing love and truth have met together.
|
||
Righteousness and peace have kissed!
|
||
11 Truth springs up from the earth,
|
||
and righteousness smiles down from heaven.
|
||
12 Yes, the Lord pours down his blessings.
|
||
Our land will yield its bountiful harvest.
|
||
13 Righteousness goes as a herald before him,
|
||
preparing the way for his steps. |
