The Lord's favour

Psalm 85
This Psalm reminded me of the compassionate, forgiving, and loving nature of God.  I was still thinking about yesterday's post on trust, and so this psalm seemed to say to me that God does deserve our trust for all the great things he has done.  More than that, even when we don't rely fully on him, he will still forgive us for our folly and restore us to his fellowship.  Here are the verses that speak to this issue in particular.  Feel free to look up the rest of the psalm.
Psalm 85:1-3 - You showed favor to your land, O Lord; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins.  You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger.
