Psalms, 84
The coming of Christ, to bring peace and salvation to man.
Benedixisti, Domine.
[1] Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm. •
[2] Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. •
[3] Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.
[4] Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou hast turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
[5] Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us. •
[6] Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation? •
[7] Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee. •
[8] Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation. •
[9] I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart. •
[10] Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him : that glory may dwell in our land. •
[11] Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed. •
[12] Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven. •
[13] For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit. •
[14] Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way. •
