PSALM LXXXIV

Prayer to obtain the complete restoration of Israel

Thou hast blessed Thy land, O Lord: Thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people: Thou hast covered all their sins.

Thou hast softened all Thine anger: Thou hast turned away from the wrath of Thine indignation.

Convert us, O God, our Saviour; and turn away Thine anger from us.

Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt Thou stretch out Thy wrath from generation to generation?

Thou wilt turn again, O God, and quicken us; and Thy people shall rejoice in Thee.

Show us Thy mercy, O Lord; and grant us Thy salvation.

I will hearken what the Lord shall say within me; for He will speak peace unto His people.

And unto His saints; and unto them that are converted in heart.
