Psalm 85:8-13

Common English Bible

⁸Let me hear what the Lord God says,
    because he speaks peace to his people and to his faithful ones.
    Don’t let them return to foolish ways.
⁹God’s salvation is very close to those who honor him
    so that his glory can live in our land.
¹⁰Faithful love and truth have met;
    righteousness and peace have kissed.
¹¹Truth springs up from the ground;
    righteousness gazes down from heaven.
¹²Yes, the Lord gives what is good,
    and our land yields its produce.
¹³Righteousness walks before God,
    making a road for his steps.
