For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core.
85:1 O Lord, thou has taken pleasure in thy land: thou hast turned back the
captivity of Jacob.
85:2 Thou hast forgiven thy people their transgressions; thou has covered
all their sins. Pause.
85:3 Thou has caused all thy wrath to cease: thou hast turned from thy
fierce anger.
85:4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn thy anger away from us.
85:5 Wouldest thou be angry with us for ever? or wilt thou continue thy
wrath from generation to generation?
85:6 O God, thou wilt turn and quicken us; and thy people shall rejoice in
thee.
85:7 Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
85:8 I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall
speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those that turn their
heart toward him.
85:9 Moreover his salvation is near 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 has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down
from heaven.
85:12 For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit.
85:13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set his steps in the way. |
