Chapter 84

  Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm.  

  Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.  

  Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.  

  Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.  

  Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.  

  Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?  

  Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.  

  Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.  

  I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.  

  Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.  

  Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.  

  Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.  

  For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.  

  Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.
