Psalm LXXXV. (Book 85)

St. Davids Tune.
〈♫〉〈♫〉LOrd, thou hast dealt most fa-vour-r'bly

Page 205

〈♫〉〈♫〉with thy be---lo---ved land; 〈♫〉〈♫〉And Ja--cob's hard cap-ti----vi--ty 〈♫〉〈♫〉brought back with pow'r--ful hand. [verse 2] Thy peoples foul iniquities, which they have lived in, Thou Lord, hast cover'd from thine eyes, and pardon'd all their sin. [verse 3] Thy furious wrath thou didst asswage, which did so fiercely burn: And from the fury of thy rage thou didst in mercy turn, [verse 4] O God of our salvation, turn us likewise to thee: And cease thine indignation, and no more angry be. [verse 5] Wilt thou be angry still with us, and evermore contend? Wilt thou draw out thine anger thus, untill all ages end? [verse 6] O wilt thou not again revive the people of thy choice: That being so restor'd alive they may in thee rejoice? [verse 7] Do thou, O Lord, thy mercy show apparent in our sight: And on thy Church, do thou bestow thy saving health and might.

The second part.

[verse 8] I'le hear what God the Lord will say, for he will speak of peace; So that his saints and servants may their former follies cease. [verse 9] Sure his salvation is at hand, to those that do him fear; That glory may adorn our land, and be a dweller there. [verse 10] Mercy and truth have sweet access and both together meet: And perfect peace and righteousness with mutual kisses greet. [verse 11] Eternal truth and verity out of the earth shall spring: Justice looks down from heav'n on high, an heav'n on earth to bring. [verse 12] Yea and the Lord shall here bestow abundant grace and peace: And make our land to overflow with plentiful increase. [verse 13] Before his face shall justice go, and (where the way was dim) Shall now direct our foot-steps so, that we may follow him.
