PSAL. LXXXV.
The Psalmist out of the experience of former mer∣cies, prayeth for the continuance thereof. 9 He pro∣miseth to wait thereon out of confidence of Gods good∣nesse.
To the master of the musicke, a Psalme to [unspec 1] the sonnes of Korach.
THou hast beene favourable to thy [unspec 2] land, O Iehovah; thou hast returned the captivity of Iakob. Thou hast [unspec 3] forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin Selah. Thou hast ga∣thered [unspec 4] away all thine exceeding anger, thou hast turned from the fervencie of thine an∣ger. Turne thou us, O God of our salvati∣on, [unspec 5] and cause thine indignation against us to cease. Wilt thou be angry with us for [unspec 6] ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger, to ge∣neration and generation? Wilt not thou [unspec 7] turne and revive us, that thy people may re∣joyce in thee? Shew us, Iehovah, thy mercy, [unspec 8] [unspec 9] and give as thy salvation. I will heare what God Iehovah will speake, for hee will speake peace unto his people, and unto his gracious Saints; and let them not returne to uncon∣stant folly. Surely his salvation is neere to [unspec 10] them that feare him, that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are met, ju∣stice [unspec 11] [unspec 12] and peace have kissed. Faithfulnesse springeth out of the earth, and justice loo∣keth downe from heaven. Also Iehovah [unspec 13] will give the good, and our land shall give her fruit. Iustice shall goe before his face, [unspec 14] and he will put her footsteps in the way.
TO the sonnes] or, of them. See Psal. 42. 1. [unspec 1] [unspec 2]
Vers. 2. hast been favourable to] or, hast fa∣vourably accepted, beene well pleased, to wit, in times past. This also respecteth the promise, Levit. 26. 42. captivitie] that is, the company of captives, or prisoners; as Psal. 68. 19. See also Psal. 14. 7.
Vers. 4. gathered away] that is, withdrawne, cea∣sed, [unspec 4] or asswaged, as the Greeke interpreteth it. So in Ioel 2. 10. the starres gather away (that is, withdraw) their shining.
Vers. 5. Turne us] to our former estate. [unspec 5] cause to cease] or dissipate; as Psal. 33. 10.
Vers. 6. wilt thou draw] that is, continue: see Ps. [unspec 6] 36. 11.
Vers. 7. wilt not thou turne and revive] that [unspec 7] is, againe revive us. See Psal. 71. 20. The Greeke saith, O God, thou turning wilt revive us. For halo, they read ha-al, the letters transplaced.
