His salvation is near those who fear him

Psalm 85:1-13
You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins.
Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.
Righteousness goes before him and prepared the way for his steps.
A prayer for the nation.
Why?
Psalmists have experienced the love of the Lord before (in History).
Faithfulness from the earth, from people, then the righteousness is the Lord look down from heaven. No one is righteousness on the earth.
Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other. It means the Lord and his people get along with each other very well.
How?
What we have to do is fear him and prepared the way for his steps. Doing the faithfulness then the Lord's love and righteousness comes upon us. Actually the Lord has showed His love to us.
