Salmos 85:8-9

As the psalmist waited for God to respond, he was confident the Lord would send peace (Heb. shalom, the fullness of divine blessing). It was important, however, that in the meantime His people not return to their former sins.

"It is good to hear the word of God, but His people must also govern their lives thereby." [Note: C. B. Moll, "The Psalms," p. 468, in vol. 5 of Lange’s Commentary on the Holy Scriptures.]

The basis of his confidence was the Lord’s promised deliverance of those who fear Him. The idea behind glory dwelling in the land is that God would again manifest His presence there by blessing the Israelites.
