85 Lord, you have poured out amazing blessings on this land! You have restored the fortunes of Israel,[a] and forgiven the sins of your people—yes, covered over each one, so that all your wrath, your blazing anger, is now ended.

Now bring us back to loving you,[b] O Lord, so that your anger will never need rise against us again. (Or will you be always angry—on and on to distant generations?) Oh, revive us! Then your people can rejoice in you again. Pour out your love and kindness on us, Lord, and grant us your salvation.
