Psalms 85
1 For the leader. Of the Korahites, a psalm. Once, Lord, you did favour your land, granting change of fortune to Jacob,
To 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.
2 forgiving the guilt of your people, pardoning all their sin, (Selah)
Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, and couered all their sinnes. (Selah)
3 withdrawing all your fury, turning from your hot anger.
Thou hast withdrawen all thine anger, and hast turned backe from the fiercenes of thy wrath.
4 Restore us, O God our saviour, put away your displeasure against us.
Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs.
5 Will you cherish your anger against us forever, prolonging your wrath to all generations?
Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? and wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?
6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may be glad in you?
Wilt thou not turne againe and quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee?
7 Show us your kindness, O Lord, grant us your salvation.
Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord, and graunt vs thy saluation.
8 Let me hear what God the Lord will speak; for he will speak of peace to his people, to those who love him, and turn their hearts to him.
I 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.
9 Soon those who fear him shall see how he saves, and glory shall live in our land.
Surely his saluation is neere to them that feare him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Kindness and loyalty meet; peace and righteousness kiss.
Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteousnes and peace shall kisse one another.
11 Loyalty springs from the earth; righteousness looks from the sky.
Trueth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousnes shall looke downe from heauen.
12 The Lord shall give all that is good, our land yielding its increase,
Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our land shall giue her increase.
13 righteousness marching before him, and peace on the path he treads.
Righteousnesse shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.
