85:1 Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

85:2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah

85:3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.

85:4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

85:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

85:6 Wilt thou not quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?

85:7 Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation.

85:8 I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly.

85:9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.

85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

85:11 Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

85:12 Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good; And our land shall yield its increase.

85:13 Righteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way [to walk in].
