Psalms 85:8-13

Psalms 85

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

8I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.

9Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.

10Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.

11Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.

12The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

13Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
