Psalm 84

For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Korah.

O Lord, thou hast taken pleasure in thy land: Thou hast turned back the captivity of Jacob.

Thou hast forgiven thy people their transgressions; Thou hast covered all their sins. Pause.

Thou hast caused all thy wrath to cease: Thou hast turned from thy fierce anger.

Turn us, O God of our salvation, And turn thine anger away from us.

Wouldest thou be angry with us forever? Or wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?

O God, thou wilt turn and quicken us; And thy people shall rejoice in thee.

Show us thy mercy, O Lord, And grant us thy salvation.

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.

Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; That glory may dwell in our land.

Mercy and truth are met together: Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Truth has sprung out of the earth; And righteousness has looked down from heaven.

For the Lord will give goodness; And our land shall yield her fruit.

Righteousness shall go before him; And shall set his steps in the way.
