Psalm 85 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Prayer for God’s Mercy upon the Nation.

For the music director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

85 Lord, You showed ^(A)favor to Your land;
You ^(B)restored the fortunes of Jacob.
²You ^(C)forgave the guilt of Your people;
You ^(D)covered all their sin. Selah
³You ^(E)withdrew all Your fury;
You ^(F)turned away from Your burning anger.

⁴^(G)Restore us, God of our salvation,
And ^(H)cause Your indignation toward us to cease.
⁵Will ^(I)You be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger to ^[a]all generations?
⁶Will You not ^[b]^(J)revive us again,
So that Your people may ^(K)rejoice in You?
⁷Show us Your mercy, Lord,
And ^(L)grant us Your salvation.

⁸^[c]I will hear what God the Lord will say;
For He will ^(M)speak peace to His people, to His godly ones;
And may they not ^(N)turn back to ^[d]foolishness.
⁹Certainly ^(O)His salvation is near to those who ^[e]fear Him,
That ^(P)glory may dwell in our land.
¹⁰^(Q)Graciousness and ^[f]truth have met together;
^(R)Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
¹¹^[g]Truth ^(S)sprouts from the earth,
And righteousness looks down from heaven.
¹²Indeed, ^(T)the Lord will give what is good,
And our ^(U)land will yield its produce.
¹³^(V)Righteousness will go before Him
And will make His footsteps into a way.
