Psalms 85

1LORD, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.

2You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah

3You withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your hot anger.

4Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us!

5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to all generations?

6Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

7Show us your steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.

8Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.

9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

10Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other.

11Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.

12Yes, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

13Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.

Psalms 86

1Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

2Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you — you are my God.

3Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day.

4Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.

6Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace.

7In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me.

8There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours.

9All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.

10For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God.

11Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.

12I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.

13For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

14O God, insolent men have risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, and they do not set you before them.

15But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

16Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your maidservant.

17Show me a sign of your favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

Psalms 87

1On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

2the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

3Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. Selah

4Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush — “This one was born there,” they say.

5And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; for the Most High himself will establish her.

6The LORD records as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah

7Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.”
