ASV · American Standard Version

Psalms 85

1Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land;

2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people;

3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath;

4Turn us, O God of our salvation,

5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?

6Wilt thou not quicken us again,

7Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah,

8I will hear what God Jehovah will speak;

9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him,

10Mercy and truth are met together;

11Truth springeth out of the earth;

12Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good;

13Righteousness shall go before him,
