Psalm 85
Benedixisti, Domine
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 13 verses
- 1
You have been gracious to your land, O LORD, *
you have restored the good fortune of Jacob. - 2
You have forgiven the iniquity of your people *
and blotted out all their sins. - 3
You have withdrawn all your fury *
and turned yourself from your wrathful indignation. - 4
Restore us then, O God our Savior; *
let your anger depart from us. - 5
Will you be displeased with us for ever? *
will you prolong your anger from age to age? - 6
Will you not give us life again, *
that your people may rejoice in you? - 7
Show us your mercy, O LORD, *
and grant us your salvation. - 8
I will listen to what the LORD God is saying, *
for he is speaking peace to his faithful people and to those who turn their hearts to him. - 9
Truly, his salvation is very near to those who fear him, *
that his glory may dwell in our land. - 10
Mercy and truth have met together; *
righteousness and peace have kissed each other. - 11
Truth shall spring up from the earth, *
and righteousness shall look down from heaven. - 12
The LORD will indeed grant prosperity, *
and our land will yield its increase. - 13
Righteousness shall go before him, *
and peace shall be a pathway for his feet.
