Psalm 85, side by side

¹For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.

¹Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

²You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah

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

³You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.

³Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

⁴Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.

⁴Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

⁵Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

⁵Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

⁶Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?

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

⁷Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.

⁷Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

⁸I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.

⁸I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

⁹Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.

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

¹⁰Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.

¹⁰Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

¹¹Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.

¹¹Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

¹²The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

¹²Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

¹³Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.

¹³Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
