Psalm for December 7

Psalm 85:1–2, 8–13

Righteousness shall prepare a pathway for God. (Ps. 85:13)

You have been gracious to your land, O LORD;
you have restored the good fortune of Jacob.

You have forgiven the iniquity of your people
and blotted out all their sins.

I will listen to what the LORD God is saying;
for you speak peace to your faithful people
and to those who turn their hearts to you.

Truly, your salvation is very near to those who fear you,
that your glory may dwell in our land.

Steadfast love and faithfulness have met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Faithfulness shall spring up from the earth,
and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

The LORD will indeed grant prosperity,
and our land will yield its increase.

Righteousness shall go before the LORD
and shall prepare for God a pathway.
