| Prayer for the Nation's Welfare. Psalm 85(v84) | |||
| 1 | LORD, thou wast favorable to thy land; thou didst restore the fortunes of Jacob. | ||
| 2 | Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people; thou didst pardon all their sin. | ||
| 3 | Thou didst withdraw all thy wrath; thou didst turn from thy hot anger. | ||
| 4 | Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away thy indignation toward us! | ||
| 5 | Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou prolong thy anger to all generations? | ||
| 6 | Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee? | ||
| 7 | Show us thy steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. | ||
| 8 | Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints, to those who turn to him in their hearts. | ||
| 9 | Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. | ||
| 10 | Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other. | ||
| 11 | Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky. | ||
| 12 | Yea, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. | ||
| 13 | Righteousness will go before him, and make his footsteps a way. | ||
