Notes

Psalms 85:10–13

In the renewed world of salvation, all the qualities of God’s care (love, truth, righteousness, and peace) come together. They transform creation and make it new (see Isaiah 32:15–20).

Psalms 85:1–13

The psalmist leads the community that returned from exile in a lament and a prayer for complete restoration:

He remembers how God rescued Israel from exile (Psalm 85:1–3),
asks for clearer signs of God’s goodness, and
leads the people in prayer for full renewal (Psalm 85:4–7).

God answers with a message of peace (Psalm 85:8–9). The psalm ends with a poetic description of the greatness of God’s salvation (85:10–13).
