Psalm 85

¹Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
²Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
³Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
⁴Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
⁵Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
⁶Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
⁷Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
⁸I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
⁹Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
¹⁰Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
¹¹Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
¹²Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
¹³Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

42Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
²He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
³A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
⁴He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
⁵Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
⁶I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
⁷To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
⁸I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
⁹Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

¹³Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
¹⁴But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
¹⁵And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
¹⁶And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
¹⁷And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
