Psalms 85:8
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.
I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.
9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.
10 Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
