1.2 KiB
1.2 KiB
Psalm 85
-
LORD, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel.
-
You forgave the guilt of your people--
yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude
- You held back your fury.
You kept back your blazing anger.
- Now restore us again, O God of our salvation.
Put aside your anger against us once more.
- Will you be angry with us always?
Will you prolong your wrath to all generations?
- Won't you revive us again,
so your people can rejoice in you?
- Show us your unfailing love, O LORD,
and grant us your salvation.
- 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.
- Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
so our land will be filled with his glory.
- Unfailing love and truth have met together.
Righteousness and peace have kissed!
- Truth springs up from the earth,
and righteousness smiles down from heaven.
- Yes, the LORD pours down his blessings.
Our land will yield its bountiful harvest.
- Righteousness goes as a herald before him,
preparing the way for his steps.
