A Prayer for the Nation

For the director of music. A psalm of the sons of Korah [C descendants of Kohath, son of Levi, who served as temple musicians; 1 Chr. 6:22].

85 Lord, you ·have been kind to [delight in] your land;
    you ·brought back [restored the fortunes of; C perhaps at the end of the exile] the people of Jacob [C another name for Israel].
You forgave the guilt of the people
    and covered all their sins. ·Selah [Interlude]
You ·stopped [drew back from] all your anger;
    you turned back from your ·strong [burning] anger.
