Psalm 85

I Lift My Eyes (121)

`LORD_, you showed favor / to your land.

`You restored the for_ / tunes of Jacob.

`You_ have forgiven the iniquity_ / of your people.

`You have covered / all their sin.

Selah.

`You have taken away / all your wrath.

`You have turned_ from the fierceness / of your anger.

Re `store us, God of / our salvation,

and `cause your indignation toward_ / us to cease.

(Ref)

Will `you be angry with_ / us forever?

Will `you draw out your anger to all / generations?

`Will you not revive_ / us again,

`that your people may re / joice in you?

`Show us your_ loving / kindness, LORD.

`Grant us / your salvation.

`I will hear what God, the / LORD, will speak,

`for he will speak peace_ to his people, his_ / faithful ones • • but `let them not_ turn a / gain to folly.

`Surely his salvation is_ near_ / those who fear him,

that `glory may dwell / in our land.

`Mercy and_ faithfulness_ / meet together.

`Righteousness and peace have / kissed each other.

(Ref)

`Faithfulness springs out_ / of the earth.

`Righteousness has looked_ / down from heaven.

In `deed, the LORD will give that / which is good.

Our `land will yield its / in~ crease. +

`Righteousness_ goes be / fore~ him,

`and prepares the way_ / for his steps.
