Psalm 85

O Lord our God, unto thy Land
thou hast done graciously,
Thou hast brought Jacob back again
from his captivity.
Thou to thy people didst forgive
their great iniquities,
And all their sins which they had done
hast cov'red from thine eyes.

Thou all thy wrath hast quite withdrawn,
which on them heavy lay,
And from the fiercenesse of thy wrath,
hast turned clean away.
O God of our salvation,
return us back again
Unto our former state, from us
O Lord, thy wrath refrain.

Why? shall thine anger never cease,
but still lie upon us?
And shall thy wrath itself extend
unto all ages thus?
Wilt thou not us restore again,
and quicken us? that we
Who are thy people, evermore
in thee may joyful be?

Thy mercy and thy favour, Lord,
shew us, and us relieve,
And thy salvation in thy love
unto us freely give,
Now will I hear what God will say;
for he with peace will blesse
His Saints, and folk; but let them not
return to foolishnesse.

Surely to such as do him fear,
is his salvation nigh,
That glory now may in our land
abide continually.
For faithful truth, and mercy free,
shall now together meet;
And righteousnesse and peace, with kisse
shall there each other greet.

Truth and uprightnesse on the earth
out of mens hearts shall spring;
And faithfulnesse from Heaven shall
look down, and blessings bring.
Yea, every good thing shall the Lord
give to us bounteously;
And then our lands with fruits shall us
abundantly supply.

Before his face shall righteousnesse
go forth, which shall us lead;
And in the way shall set us so
that we his steps may tread.
