85:1 For the choir director: A psalm of the descendants of Korah. LORD, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel.
85:2 You forgave the guilt of your people--yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude
85:3 You held back your fury. You kept back your blazing anger.
85:4 Now restore us again, O God of our salvation. Put aside your anger against us once more.
85:5 Will you be angry with us always? Will you prolong your wrath to all generations?
85:6 Won't you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you?
85:7 Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
85:8 I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people. But let them not return to their foolish ways.
85:9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, so our land will be filled with his glory.
85:10 Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed!
85:11 Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven.
85:12 Yes, the LORD pours down his blessings. Our land will yield its bountiful harvest.
85:13 Righteousness goes as a herald before him, preparing the way for his steps.
