Psalms 85:3
1 You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.
2 You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah
You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.
4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.
5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
