Psalms 85 : Christian Community Bible
Psalms 85
| 2 You have favored your land, O Lord; you have brought back the exiles of Jacob. | |
| 3 You have forgiven the sin of your people; you have pardoned their offenses. | |
| 4 You have withdrawn your wrath and turned from your burning rage. | |
| 5 But restore us, God our savior; put away altogether your indignation. | |
| 6 Will your anger be ever with us, carried over to all generations? | |
| 7 Will you not give us life anew, that your people may rejoice in you? | |
| 8 Show us, O Lord, your unfailing love and grant us your saving help. | |
| 9 Would that I hear God’s proclamation, that he promise peace to his people, his saints – lest they come back to their folly. | |
| 10 Yet his salvation is near to those who fear him, and his Glory will dwell in our land. | |
| 11 Love and faithfulness have met; righteousness and peace have embraced. | |
| 12 Faithfulness will reach up from the earth while justice bends down from heaven. | |
| 13 The Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its fruit. | |
| 14 Justice will go before him, and peace will follow along his path. | |
