1(85-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. (85-2) LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.

2(85-3) Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. Selah

3(85-4) Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.

4(85-5) Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.

5(85-6) Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?

6(85-7) Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?

7(85-8) Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us Thy salvation.

8(85-9) 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 back to folly.

9(85-10) Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land.

10(85-11) Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11(85-12) Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

12(85-13) Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.

13(85-14) Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.
