Psalm 85

English Standard Version Anglicised

85 Lord, you were ^(B)favourable to your land;
    you ^(C)restored the fortunes of Jacob.
² You ^(D)forgave the iniquity of your people;
    you ^(E)covered all their sin. Selah
³ You withdrew all your wrath;
    you ^(F)turned from your hot anger.
^4 (G)Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
    and put away your indignation towards us!
^5 (H)Will you be angry with us for ever?
    Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
⁶ Will you not ^(I)revive us again,
    that your people may ^(J)rejoice in you?
⁷ Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
    and grant us your salvation.
^8 (K)Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
    for he will ^(L)speak peace to his people, to his ^(M)saints;
    but let them not ^(N)turn back to ^(O)folly.
⁹ Surely his ^(P)salvation is near to those who fear him,
    that ^(Q)glory may dwell in our land.
^10 (R)Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
    ^(S)righteousness and peace kiss each other.
¹¹ Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
    and righteousness looks down from the sky.
¹² Yes, ^(T)the Lord will give what is good,
    and our land ^(U)will yield its increase.
^13 (V)Righteousness will go before him
    and make his footsteps a way.
