Psalm
85 Tuesday Morning 3
Favor your land, Yahweh; *
restore the fortunes of Jacob!
Forgive the guilt of your
people; * remit all their sin!
Withdraw all your fury; *
cool your blazing anger!
Return to us, God of our prosperity; * banish from us your
indignation!
Will you forever be angry with us, * prolonging your anger to all
generations?
You are the Victor, * restore us to life, * that your people
might rejoice in you.
Show us, Yahweh, your kindness, * and give us your
prosperity.
Let me announce what God
himself has spoken: * “Yahweh indeed has promised well-being
to his people who worship
him, * to those who confide in him again.
His prosperity is very near
those who fear him; * yes, his glory dwells in our land.
Kindness and fidelity will meet; * justice and well-being
embrace.
Fidelity shall sprout from the earth, * and justice lean down
from heaven.
With a crash will Yahweh give his rain, * and our land will
give its produce.
Justice will march before him; * beauty will follow in his
steps.”
