Psalm 85:8-13 - "Righteousness and Peace Have Kissed"

Psalm 85 was possibly written by one of the sons of Korah after the captivity of Israel in Babylon. The people of Israel were granted a new beginning back in the land. The LORD was gracious to forgive and cover their sin of idolatry. God had lifted His wrath and turned from His anger on them (vv. 1-3). Notice how many times the words “You or Yours” are repeated in these three verses speaking of the LORD and what He did for the people. The psalmist then asked for God to restore and revive them that they may rejoice in His righteousness as the LORD showed them His mercy and salvation (vv. 4-7)…
