1“To the chief musician, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” (85:2) Thou hast been favorable, O Lord, unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2(85:3) Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered over all their sin. Selah.
3(85:4) Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast relinquished the fierceness of thy anger.
4(85:5) Return to us, O God of our salvation, and cause thy ill-will toward us to cease.
5(85:6) Wilt thou be wroth with us for ever? wilt thou extend thy anger from generation to generation?
6(85:7) Wilt thou not now revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
