Psalm 85

New Coverdale Version

Lord, you have been gracious to your land; * you have turned away the captivity of Jacob.

You have forgiven the offence of your people * and covered all their sins.

You have taken away all your displeasure * and turned yourself from your wrathful indignation.

Restore us then, O God our Savior, * and let your anger cease from us.

Will you be displeased at us for ever, * and will you stretch out your wrath from one generation to another?

Will you not turn again and quicken us, * that your people may rejoice in you?

Show us your mercy, O Lord, * and grant us your salvation.

I will hearken to what the Lord God will say, * for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints, that they turn not again.

For his salvation is near to those who fear him, * that glory may dwell in our land.

Mercy and truth have met together; * righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Truth shall flourish out of the earth, * and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

Indeed, the Lord shall show goodness, * and our land shall give its increase.

Righteousness shall go before him, * and he shall direct his going in the way.
