1.1 KiB
Psalm 85Restoration of Favor
-
Lord, you showed favor to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
-
You forgave your people's guilt; you covered all their sin.Selah
-
You withdrew all your fury; you turned from your burning anger.
-
Return to us, God of our salvation, and abandon your displeasure with us.
-
Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger for all generations?
-
Will you not revive us again so that your people may rejoice in you?
-
Show us your faithful love, Lord, and give us your salvation.
-
I will listen to what God will say; surely the Lord will declare peace to his people, his faithful ones, and not let them go back to foolish ways.
-
His salvation is very near those who fear him, so that glory may dwell in our land.
-
Faithful love and truth will join together; righteousness and peace will embrace.
-
Truth will spring up from the earth, and righteousness will look down from heaven.
-
Also, the Lord will provide what is good, and our land will yield its crops.
-
Righteousness will go before him to prepare the way for his steps.
