85:2 You once favored, Lord, your land, restored the captives of Jacob.
85:3 You forgave the guilt of your people, pardoned all their sins. Selah
85:4 You withdrew all your wrath, turned back from your burning anger.
85:5 Restore us, God of our salvation; let go of your displeasure with us.
85:6 Will you be angry with us forever, prolong your anger for all generations?
85:7 Certainly you will again restore our life, that your people may rejoice in you.
85:8 Show us, Lord, your mercy; grant us your salvation.
85:9 I will listen for what God, the Lord, has to say; surely he will speak of peace To his people and to his faithful. May they not turn to foolishness!
85:10 Near indeed is his salvation for those who fear him; glory will dwell in our land.
85:11 Love and truth will meet; justice and peace will kiss.
85:12 Truth will spring from the earth; justice will look down from heaven.
85:13 Yes, the Lord will grant his bounty; our land will yield its produce.
85:14 Justice will march before him, and make a way for his footsteps.
