Psalms 85:2-11

²The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah.)

³You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.

⁴Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.

⁵Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?

⁶Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?

⁷Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.

⁸I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.

⁹Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.

¹⁰Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.

¹¹Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.
