Read Psalm 85:1-2, 8-13
A Prayer for the Nation's Welfare[a]

2 You have forgiven your people's sins
and pardoned all their wrongs.
you have made Israel prosperous again.
2 You have forgiven your people's sins
and pardoned all their wrongs.
I am listening to what the Lord God is saying;
he promises peace to us, his own people,
if we do not go back to our foolish ways.
9 Surely he is ready to save those who honor him,
and his saving presence will remain in our land.

11 Human loyalty will reach up from the earth,
and God's righteousness will look down from heaven.

Think
Merciful, forgiven, pardoned.
Some words I pick up from verse 1 & 2.
Love and faithfulness will meet...
This is a Psalm that acknowledges brokenness and from that brokenness anticipates God's healing and hopefulness.
