TEXT Psalm 85 ESV Revive Us Again

 

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

  • REDEMPTION / What the Lord did in the past:

1 Lord, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 You forgave the iniquity of your people;you covered all their sin. Selah
3 You withdrew all your wrath;you turned from your hot anger.

The Lord: showed favor, restored fortunes, forgave iniquity, covered sin, withdrew wrath, turned from anger.

  • RESTORATION / Prayer for the Lord to do it again:

4 Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us!

  • REVIVAL / Rhetorical questions of the Lord:

5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to all generations?

6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

  • REQUESTS / Prayer for the Lord to show and to speak:

7 Show us your steadfast love, O Lord, and grant us your salvation.

  • RIGHTEOUS RELATIONSHIPS / Hope-filled statements:

8 Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.
