Psalms 85
The psalmist, out of the experience of former mercies, prayeth for the continuance thereof.
Psalms 85:1 {The title of the foure and eiytetithe salm. Of the sones of Chore.} Lord, thou hast blessid thi lond; thou hast turned awei the caitifte of Jacob. Psalms 85:2 Thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of thi puple; thou hast hilid alle the synnes of hem. Psalms 85:3 Thou hast aswagid al thin ire; thou hast turned awei fro the ire of thin indignacioun. Psalms 85:4 God, oure helthe, conuerte thou vs; and turne awei thin ire fro vs. Psalms 85:5 Whether thou schalt be wrooth to vs withouten ende; ether schalt thou holde forth thin ire fro generacioun in to generacioun? Psalms 85:6 God, thou conuertid schalt quykene vs; and thi puple schal be glad in thee. Psalms 85:7 Lord, schewe thi merci to vs; and yyue thin helthe to vs.
He promiseth to wait thereon, out of confidence of God's goodness.
Psalms 85:8 I schal here what the Lord God schal speke in me; for he schal speke pees on his puple. And on hise hooli men; and on hem that ben turned to herte. Psalms 85:9 Netheles his helthe is niy men dredynge him; that glorie dwelle in oure lond. Psalms 85:10 Merci and treuthe metten hem silf; riytwisnesse and pees weren kissid. Psalms 85:11 Treuthe cam forth of erthe; and riytfulnesse bihelde fro heuene. Psalms 85:12 For the Lord schal yyue benignyte; and oure erthe schal yyue his fruyt. Psalms 85:13 Riytfulnesse schal go bifore him; and schal sette hise steppis in the weie.
