Psalm 85

Revive Us Again

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of #Ps. 42, titlethe Sons of Korah.

1 Lord, you were *Ps. 77:7favorable to your land;

you *Ps. 14:7restored the fortunes of Jacob.

2 You *Ps. 32:1forgave the iniquity of your people;

you *Ps. 32:1covered all their sin. Selah

3 You withdrew all your wrath;

you *Ps. 78:38;106:23;Ex. 32:12;Deut. 13:17;Jonah 3:9turned from your hot anger.

4 *See Ps. 80:3Restore us again, O God of our salvation,

and put away your indignation toward us!

5 *[Ps. 79:5]Will you be angry with us forever?

Will you prolong your anger to all generations?

6 Will you not *Ps. 71:20revive us again,

that your people may *Ps. 90:14;149:2rejoice in you?

7 Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,

and grant us your salvation.

8 *[Hab. 2:1] Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,

for he will *Zech. 9:10;[Hag. 2:9] speak peace to his people, to his *See Ps. 50:5saints;

but let them not *[2 Pet. 2:21] turn back to *[Ps. 49:13]folly.

9 Surely his *Isa. 46:13salvation is near to those who fear him,

that *Zech. 2:5;[John 1:14]glory may dwell in our land.

10 *Ps. 89:14;See Ps. 40:11Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;

*[Isa. 45:8]; See Ps. 72:3righteousness and peace kiss each other.

11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground,

and righteousness looks down from the sky.

12 Yes, *Ps. 84:11;[James 1:17] the Lord will give what is good,

and our land *See Ps. 67:6will yield its increase.

13 *Ps. 89:14;Isa. 58:8Righteousness will go before him

and make his footsteps a way.
