PSAL. LXXXV.

1 Because God withdrewe not his rods from his Church af ter 〈◊〉〈◊〉 returne from Babylō, first they put him in minde of their deliuerance, to the intent that he shuld not leaue the worke of his grace 〈◊〉〈◊〉. 5 Next thei camplaine of their long affliction: 8 And thirdly they reioyce in hope of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 promised. 9 For their deliuerance was a figure of Christs kingdome, vnder the which shulde be perfite felicitie.

¶ To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Kôrah.

1 LOrd, thou hast benea fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast broght againe the ca∣ptiuitie of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Iaakób.

2 Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy peo ple, (and)b couered and their sinnes. Sélah.

3 〈◊〉〈◊〉 hast withdrawē all thine angre, & hast turned backe frō thec fiercenes of thy wrath

4 Turne vs, ô God of our saluacion, & release 〈◊〉〈◊〉 angre towards vs.

5 〈◊〉〈◊〉 thou be angrie with vsd for euer? (and) wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one gene racion to another?

6 Wilt thou not turne againe (and) quicken vs that thy people maye reioyce in thee?

7 She we vs thy mercie, ô Lord, and grante vs thye saluacion.

8 I wil hearkē what the Lord God wil saie: for he wil speakef peace vnto his people, & to his Saints, that they turne not againe to folie

9 Surely his saluacion is nere to thē that feare him, that glorie maye dwell in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 land.

10 Mercie and trueth shal mete: righteousnes and peace shalkisse (one another.)

11 g Trueth shal bud out of the earth, and righ∣teousnes shal loke downe from heauen.

12 Yea, the Lord shal giue good things, and our land shal giue her increase.

13 h Righteousnes shal go before him and shal let her steps in the waye.
