Psalm 85:4
βTurn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 85Meaning
Past restoration has not removed present need. The prayer openly asks for another turning, showing that remembered grace and current struggle can coexist.
Restore us and show steadfast love
The people ask God to turn them again, revive them, show covenant love, and grant salvation.
Read carefully
The verse is petition, not a timetable for controlling God's action.
Reflection
Ask directly for restoration rather than pretending past spiritual experiences are sufficient for every present need.
