Psalm 85

¹To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Lord, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought againe the captiuitie of Iaakob.

²Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, and couered all their sinnes. Selah.

³Thou hast withdrawen all thine anger, and hast turned backe from the fiercenes of thy wrath.

⁴Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs.

⁵Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? and wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?

⁶Wilt thou not turne againe and quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee?

⁷Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord, and graunt vs thy saluation.

⁸I will hearken what the Lord God will say: for he will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saintes, that they turne not againe to follie.

⁹Surely his saluation is neere to them that feare him, that glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteousnes and peace shall kisse one another.

¹¹Trueth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousnes shall looke downe from heauen.

¹²Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our land shall giue her increase.

¹³Righteousnesse shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.
