Psalm 85 For the music leader. Of the Korahites. A psalm. 85 Lord, you’ve been kind to your land;     you’ve changed Jacob’s circumstances for the better. 2 You’ve forgiven your people’s wrongdoing;     you’ve covered all their sins. Selah 3 You’ve stopped being furious;     you’ve turned away from your burning anger. 4 You, the God who can save us, restore us!     Stop being angry with us! 5 Will you be mad at us forever?     Will you prolong your anger from one generation to the next? 6 Won’t you bring us back to life again     so that your people can rejoice in you? 7 Show us your faithful love, Lord!     Give us your salvation! 8 Let me hear what the Lord God says,     because he speaks peace to his people and to his faithful ones.     Don’t let them return to foolish ways. 9 God’s salvation is very close to those who honor him     so that his glory can live in our land. 10 Faithful love and truth have met;     righteousness and peace have kissed. 11 Truth springs up from the ground;     righteousness gazes down from heaven. 12 Yes, the Lord gives what is good,     and our land yields its produce. 13 Righteousness walks before God,     making a road for his steps.
