Psalm 84 – Benedixisti, Domine

The coming of Christ, to bring peace and salvation to man.

[1] Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm. [2] Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. [3] Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins. [4] Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou hast turned away from the wrath of thy indignation. [5] Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.

[6] Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation? [7] Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee. [8] Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation. [9] I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart. [10] Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.

[11] Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed. [12] Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven. [13] For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit. [14] Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.
