Noyes - Psalms - 85

85:1  O LORD! thou hast been favorable to thy land; Thou hast brought back the captives of Jacob;

85:2  Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people, And cover all their sins! [Pause.]

85:3  Thou didst take away all thy displeasure, And abate the fierceness of thy wrath.

85:4  Restore us, O God of our salvation! And let thine anger towards us cease!

85:5  Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?

85:6  Wilt thou not revive us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?

85:7  Show us thy compassion, O LORD! And grant us thy salvation!

85:8  I will hear what God the LORD will speak: Truly he will speak peace to his people, and to his servants; Only let them not turn again to folly!

85:9  Yea, his salvation is near to those who fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.

85:10  Mercy and truth shall meet together, Righteousness and peace shall kiss each other;

85:11  Truth shall spring out of the earth; Righteousness shall look down from heaven.

85:12  Yea, Jehovah will give prosperity, And our land shall yield her increase.

85:13  Righteousness shall go before him, And set us in the way of his steps.
