Context
85:2 You pardoned the wrongdoing of your people ; you forgave all their sin . (Selah )
85:3 You withdrew all your fury ; you turned back from your raging anger .
85:4 Restore us, O God our deliverer ! Do not be displeased with us!
85:5 Will you stay mad at us forever ? Will you remain angry throughout future generations ?
85:6 Will you not revive us once more ? Then your people will rejoice in you!
85:7 O Lord , show us your loyal love ! Bestow on us your deliverance !
85:8 I will listen to what God the Lord says . For he will make peace with his people , his faithful followers . Yet they must not return to their foolish ways.
85:9 Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance ; then his splendor will again appear in our land .
85:10 Loyal love and faithfulness meet ; deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss .
85:11 Faithfulness grows from the ground , and deliverance looks down from the sky .
85:12 Yes , the Lord will bestow his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops .
85:13 Deliverance goes before him, and prepares a pathway for him.
