Bay Psalm Book: Psalm 85

Another of the same

1 O LORD, thou favour’d hast thy land:

Jacob’s captivity.

2 Thou hast brought back: thou pard’ned hast

thy folks iniquity:

Thou hast close cover’d all their sin.

3 Thy wrath away all cast

thou hast: from fierceness of thine ire

thy self return’d thou hast.

4 Convert us back, o thou the God

of our salvation:

and toward us cause thou to cease

thine indignation,

5 Wilt thou be angry still with us

for evermore? what shall?

thine anger be by thee drawn-out

to generations all?

6 Wilt thou not us revive? in thee

thy folk rejoice shall so.

7 Shew us thy mercy, Lord; on us

thy saving health bestow.

(2)

8 I’ll hear what God the Lord will speak:

for to his people peace

he’ll speak, and to his Saints: lest they

return to foolishness.

9 Surely near them that do him fear

is his salvation:

that glory may within our land

have habitation.

10 Mercy and truth do jointly meet:

justice and peace do kiss.

11 Truth springs from earth: and righteousness

from heaven looking is.

12 Yea what is good the Lord shall give:

and yield her fruit our land.

13 Justice shall ‘fore him go: and make

her steps i’th way to stand.
