Psalm 85:2
“Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 85Meaning
The remembered restoration is explicitly moral and relational: forgiveness stands at the center of the community's recollection of God's favor.
Restoration remembered and wrath withdrawn
The community recalls God's favor, forgiveness, and the turning away of wrath.
Read carefully
The verse celebrates divine forgiveness; it does not erase the moral importance of accountability and repair.
Reflection
Confess wrongdoing and receive mercy without minimizing the harm caused by sin.
