Psalms 84
1 For the end, a Psalm for the sons of
Core.
2 O Lord, thou hast taken pleasure in
thy land: thou hast turned back the captivity of Jacob.
3 Thou hast forgiven thy people their
transgressions; thou hast covered all their sins. Pause.
4 Thou hast caused all thy wrath to
cease: thou hast turned from thy fierce anger.
5 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and
turn thine anger away from us.
6 Wouldest thou be angry with us for
ever? or wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?
7 O God, thou wilt turn and quicken
us; and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
8 Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant
us thy salvation.
9 I will hear what the Lord God will
say concerning me: for he shall speak peace to his people, and to his saints,
and to those that turn their heart toward him.
10 Moreover his salvation is near
them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
11 Mercy and truth are met together:
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
12 Truth has sprung out of the earth;
and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
13 For the Lord will give goodness;
and our land shall yield her fruit.
14 Righteousness shall go before him;
and shall set his steps in the way.
