Psalms 85:7
Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
BSB
ASV
Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation.
KJV
Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
Show us, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your salvation. What in Latin is called "salvation" (salutare), in Hebrew is called "Jesus." Therefore in Hebrew it is said thus: Show us, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your salvation: Unless you first be merciful toward the human race, your Jesus will not be given to us.
They pray that God would, graciously to them and gloriously to himself, appear on their behalf: " Grant us thy salvation; grant it by thy promise, and then, no doubt, thou wilt work it by thy providence." Note, The vessels of God's mercy are the heirs of his salvation; he shows mercy to those to whom he grants salvation; for salvation is of mere mercy.
7 show us thy mercy, O L ORD , and grant us thy salvation. The church, in affliction and distress, is here, by direction from God, making her application to God. So ready is God to hear and answer the prayers of his people that by his Spirit in the word, and in the heart, he indites their petitions and puts words into their mouths.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.
