Psalms 85 — Context

Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.

I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.

Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.

Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.

Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.

The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.

Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.
