Psalm 85

1Once, Lord, you did favour your land, of fortune to Jacob, 2forgiving the guilt of your people, all their sin, Selah 3withdrawing all your fury, from your hot anger. 4Restore us, O God our saviour, put away your displeasure against us. 5Will you cherish your anger against us forever, your wrath to all generations? 6Will you not revive us again, that your people may be glad in you? 7Show us your kindness, O Lord, us your salvation. 8Let me hear what God the Lordwill speak; for he will speak of peace to his people, to those who love him, and turn their hearts to him. 9Soon those who revere him shall see how he saves, and glory shall live in our land. 10Kindness and loyalty meet; and righteousness kiss. 11Loyalty springs from the earth; righteousness looks from the sky. 12The Lord shall give all that is good, land yielding its increase,
