Psalm 85
Listening for God’s Answer
Let me hear what God the LORD will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people, to his holy ones—
but let them not turn back to folly.
Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
The Meeting of God’s Attributes
Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from heaven.
The LORD will indeed give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before him
and will make a path for his steps.
