Psalm 85:8-13

Good News Translation

⁸ I am listening to what the Lord God is saying;
    he promises peace to us, his own people,
    if we do not go back to our foolish ways.
⁹ Surely he is ready to save those who honor him,
    and his saving presence will remain in our land.

¹⁰ Love and faithfulness will meet;
    righteousness and peace will embrace.
¹¹ Human loyalty will reach up from the earth,
    and God's righteousness will look down from heaven.
¹² The Lord will make us prosperous,
    and our land will produce rich harvests.
¹³ Righteousness will go before the Lord
    and prepare the path for him.
