Psalm 85 - Evangelical Heritage Version - 2021（EHV）

You Showed Favor to Your LandFor the choir director. By the Sons of Korah. A psalm.Past Goodness

1You showed favor to your land, O Lord.

You restored the fortunes of Jacob.

2You removed the guilt of your people.

You covered all their sin. Interlude

3You put away all your wrath.

You turned from your burning anger.

Present Distress

4Restore us, O God who saves us.

Put an end to your indignation with us.

5Will you be angry with us forever?

Will you extend your anger through all generations?

6Will you not turn and revive us,

so that your people may rejoice in you?

Hope for the Future

7Show us your mercy, O Lord,

and give us your salvation.

8I will hear what the true God, the Lord, will say.

He indeed speaks peace to his people, to his favored ones,

but do not let them turn to foolish ways.

9Surely his salvation is near for those who fear him,

so that glory may dwell in our land.

10Mercy and truth meet together.

Righteousness and peace kiss each other.

11Truth springs up from the earth,

and righteousness looks down from heaven.

12The Lord will indeed give good things,

and our land will yield its harvest.

13Righteousness walks in front of him.

It prepares the way for his footsteps.
