Psalms 85:9
7 Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
8 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.
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.
11 Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
