Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 85

You have shown favor to Your people, O Lord,
restoring those You love.

You have forgiven all wrongdoing,
covering their faults with mercy.

You have withdrawn Your grief,
turning away from sorrow.

Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
renew us with Your unfailing love.

Will You not revive us again,
so that we may rejoice in You?

Show us Your faithful love, O Lord,
and grant us Your saving grace.

I will listen to what You say, O Lord,
for You speak peace to Your people,
to those who turn their hearts to You.

Surely Your salvation is near
to those who revere You,
that glory may dwell among us.

Mercy and truth have met together;
righteousness and peace embrace.

Truth springs up from the earth,
and righteousness shines down from heaven.

The Lord pours out what is good,
and our land is filled with abundance.

Righteousness goes before Him,
preparing the way for His steps.
