Commentary on Psalms 85:4
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. The psalm shifts from recounting past mercy (vv. 1-3) to urgent present petition (vv. 4-7).

This prayer recognizes human inability to turn ourselves and God's necessary initiative in restoration. Without divine action enabling repentance, we remain in rebellion. This theology anticipates Jeremiah 31:18 ("Turn thou me, and I shall be turned") and Lamentations 5:21 ("Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned")."...
