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:

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

³ Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.

⁴ Bring us back, O¹ God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

1. 85.4 Elohim

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

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

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

⁸ I will hear what¹ God, Jehovah, will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his² godly ones: but let them not turn again to folly.

1. 85.8 El
2. 85.8 Elohim

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

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

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

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

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