Psalms 85

¹ For the leader. A psalm of the Korahites.

² You once favored, LORD, your land, restored the good fortune of Jacob.

³ You forgave the guilt of your people, pardoned all their sins. Selah

⁴ You withdrew all your wrath, turned back your burning anger.

⁵ Restore us once more, God our savior; abandon your wrath against us.

⁶ Will you be angry with us forever, drag out your anger for all generations?

⁷ Please give us life again, that your people may rejoice in you.

⁸ Show us, LORD, your love; grant us your salvation.

⁹ I will listen for the word of God; surely the LORD will proclaim peace To his people, to the faithful, to those who trust in him.

¹⁰ Near indeed is salvation for the loyal; prosperity will fill our land.

¹¹ Love and truth will meet; justice and peace will kiss.

¹² Truth will spring from the earth; justice will look down from heaven.

¹³ The LORD will surely grant abundance; our land will yield its increase.

¹⁴ Prosperity will march before the Lord, and good fortune will follow behind.
