Psalm 85 | Liturgical Calendar

1

Lord, thou art become gracious unto thy land *

thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

2

Thou hast forgiven the offence of thy people *

and covered all their sins.

3

Thou hast taken away all thy displeasure *

and turned thyself from thy wrathful indignation.

4

Turn us then, O God our Saviour *

and let thine anger cease from us.

5

Wilt thou be displeased at us for ever *

and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another?

6

Wilt thou not turn again, and quicken us *

that thy people may rejoice in thee?

7

Shew us thy mercy, O Lord *

and grant us thy salvation.

8

I will hearken what the Lord God will say concerning me *

for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints, that they turn not again.

9

For his salvation is nigh them that fear him *

that glory may dwell in our land.

10

Mercy and truth are met together *

righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11

Truth shall flourish out of the earth *

and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

12

Yea, the Lord shall shew loving-kindness *

and our land shall give her increase.

13

Righteousness shall go before him *

and he shall direct his going in the way.
