Psalms 85:5

3 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.

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

6 Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?

7 Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
