Psalms 85

¹LORD, you have been merciful to your land; you have made Israel prosperous again.

²You have forgiven your people's sins and pardoned all their wrongs.

³You stopped being angry with them and held back your furious rage.

⁴Bring us back, O God our savior, and stop being displeased with us!

⁵Will you be angry with us forever? Will your anger never cease?

⁶Make us strong again, and we, your people, will praise you.

⁷Show us your constant love, O LORD, and give us your saving help.

⁸I am listening to what the LORD God is saying; he promises peace to us, his own people, if we do not go back to our foolish ways.

⁹Surely he is ready to save those who honor him, and his saving presence will remain in our land.

¹⁰Love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will embrace.

¹¹Human loyalty will reach up from the earth, and God's righteousness will look down from heaven.

¹²The LORD will make us prosperous, and our land will produce rich harvests.

¹³Righteousness will go before the LORD and prepare the path for him.
