Psalm 85
1. The Psalmist, out of the experience of former mercies, prays for continuance thereof.
8. He promises to wait thereon, out of confidence of God's goodness














Show us Your loving devotion
The phrase "Show us Your loving devotion" calls upon God to reveal His steadfast love and mercy. The Hebrew word for "loving devotion" is "chesed," which encompasses kindness, loyalty, and covenantal love. This term is deeply rooted in the character of God as depicted throughout the Old Testament. It reflects a love that is not merely emotional but is committed and faithful, often associated with God's promises to His people. Historically, this plea for God's loving devotion would resonate with the Israelites, who experienced God's faithfulness through their deliverance from Egypt and His ongoing guidance and protection. In a broader scriptural context, this request is a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people, where His loving devotion is both a promise and a source of hope.

O LORD
The use of "O LORD" in this verse is significant, as it translates to "Yahweh," the personal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name signifies God's eternal existence and His unchanging nature. It is a name that conveys authority, sovereignty, and a personal relationship with His people. In the historical context of the Psalms, invoking the name of Yahweh is an appeal to the God who has consistently acted in history to save and sustain His people. It is a call to the God who is both transcendent and immanent, who is above all yet intimately involved in the lives of His followers.

and grant us Your salvation
The phrase "and grant us Your salvation" is a petition for deliverance and restoration. The Hebrew word for "salvation" is "yeshuah," which means deliverance, rescue, or safety. This term is often used in the Old Testament to describe God's intervention in times of trouble, whether from physical enemies or spiritual distress. In the context of Psalm 85, this request for salvation is not just about physical deliverance but also spiritual renewal and peace. Historically, the Israelites would have understood this as a plea for God to restore them to a place of favor and blessing, especially after periods of exile or judgment. In a broader theological sense, this anticipates the ultimate salvation brought through Jesus Christ, who embodies God's saving grace and offers eternal life to all who believe. This phrase encapsulates the hope and assurance that God is both willing and able to save His people, providing a foundation for faith and trust in His redemptive power.

Verse 7. - Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation. Compare the devout petitions of the Church morning and evening, "O Lord, show thy mercy upon us. And grant us thy salvation" (Order for Morning and Evening Prayer).
