Psalm Reading: Psalm 85

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

¹You showed favor to your land, O LORD;

you restored the fortunes of Jacob.

²You forgave the iniquity of your people

and covered all their sins. Selah

³You set aside all your wrath

and turned from your fierce anger.

⁴Restore us again, O God our Savior,

and put away your displeasure toward us.

⁵Will you be angry with us forever?

Will you prolong your anger through all generations?

⁶Will you not revive us again,

that your people may rejoice in you?

⁷Show us your unfailing love, O LORD,

and grant us your salvation.

⁸I will listen to what God the LORD will say;

he promises peace to his people, his saints—

but let them not return to folly.

⁹Surely his salvation is near those who fear him,

that his glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰Love and faithfulness meet together;

righteousness and peace kiss each other.

¹¹Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,

and righteousness looks down from heaven.

¹²The LORD will indeed give what is good,

and our land will yield its harvest.

¹³Righteousness goes before him

and prepares the way for his steps.
