Psalm 85:7
“Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 85Meaning
The request joins covenant love with concrete rescue. Salvation is received from God rather than manufactured by human certainty or deservingness.
Read carefully
It is a communal prayer for salvation, not a universal guarantee of specific temporal outcomes.
Reflection
Ask for help while grounding hope in God's character rather than personal entitlement.
