85 Lord,
thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity
of Jacob. 2 Thou
hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their
sin. Selah. 3 Thou
hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness
of thine anger. 4 Turn
us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. 5 Wilt
thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all
generations?
6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7
Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. 8 I will
hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people,
and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 9 Surely
his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Mercy
and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 11 Truth
shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 12 Yea,
the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. 13 Righteousness
shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
