Psalm 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.
