Psalm 85
Benedixisti, Domine
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.
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.
