| # Chapter 85
#### 1 | To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.
#### 2 | The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah.)
#### 3 | You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.
#### 4 | Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.
#### 5 | Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?
#### 6 | Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?
#### 7 | Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.
#### 8 | I 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.
#### 9 | Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.
#### 10 | Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.
#### 11 | Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.
#### 12 | The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.
#### 13 | Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.
