1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Psalms 85

1 The psalmist, out of the experience of former mercies, prayeth for the continuance thereof. 8 He promiseth to wait thereon, out of confidence of God's goodness.

 85:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.]] Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob:

 85:2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

 85:3 Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.

 85:4 Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

 85:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?

 85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

 85:7 Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.

 85:8 I will hear what *God, Jehovah, will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his godly ones: but let them not turn again to folly.

 85:9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

 85:10 Loving-kindness and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other:

 85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens.

 85:12 Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase.

 85:13 Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way.
