Psalm for Monday in the Second Week of Advent

Psalm 85:8-13

I will listen to what the Lord God is saying,

for he is speaking peace to his faithful people and to those who turn their hearts to him.

Truly, his salvation is very near to those who fear him,

that his glory may dwell in our land.

Mercy and truth have met together;

righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Truth shall spring up from the earth,

and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

The Lord will indeed grant prosperity,

and our land will yield its increase.

Righteousness shall go before him,

and peace shall be a pathway for his feet.
