Psalm 85:8-13

Contemporary English Version

⁸ I will listen to you, Lord God,
    because you promise peace
to those who are faithful
    and no longer foolish.
⁹ You are ready to rescue
    everyone who worships you,
so that you will live with us
    in all your glory.

¹⁰ Love and loyalty
    will come together;
goodness and peace
    will unite.
¹¹ Loyalty will sprout
    from the ground;
justice will look down
    from the sky above.

¹² Our Lord, you will bless us;
our land will produce
    wonderful crops.
¹³ Justice will march in front,
making a path
    for you to follow.
