 The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. The psalm is Psalm 85, and let us read our psalm responsibly. I will listen to what the Lord God is saying, for you will speak peace to your faithful people and to those who turn their hearts to you. Truly your salvation is very near to those who hear you, and your glory may dwell in them. Steadfast love and faithfulness have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
