Psalmes 85

P S A L. LXXXV.

1 The Psalmist out of the experience of former mercies prayeth for the continuance thereof. 8 He promiseth to waite thereon, out of confidence of Gods goodnesse.

¶ [fn]To the chiefe musician, a Psalme for the sonnes of Korah.

LXXXV ¶ LORD, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought backe the captiuity of Iacob. 2 [ref]Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, thou hast couered all their sinne. Selah. 3 [fn]Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thy selfe from the fiercenesse of thine anger. 4 Turne vs, O God of our saluation: and cause thine anger towards vs to cease. 5 Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? wilt thou drawe out thine anger to all generations? 6 Wilt thou not reuiue vs againe: that thy people may reioyce in thee? 7 Shew vs thy mercy, O LORD; and graunt vs thy saluation. 8 I will heare what God the LORD will speake: for hee will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saints: but let them not turne againe to folly. 9 Surely his saluation is nigh them that feare him; that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Mercy and truth are met together: righteousnesse and peace haue kissed each other. 11 Truth shall spring out of the earth: and righteousnesse shall looke downe from heauen. 12 Yea the LORD shall giue that which is good: and our land shall yeeld her increase. 13 Righteousnes shall go before him: and shall set vs in the way of his steps.
