詩篇 85

1 可拉後裔的詩，交與伶長。 耶和華啊，你已經向你的地施恩， 救回被擄的雅各。

For the music director. A psalm of the descendants of Korah Lord, you have shown your kindness to your land; you have restored Jacob's prosperity.

2 你赦免了你百姓的罪孽， 遮蓋了他們一切的過犯。 (細拉)

You took away your people's guilt; you forgave all their sins. (Selah)

3 你收轉了所發的忿怒 和你猛烈的怒氣。

You took back your fury; you turned away from your fierce anger.

4 拯救我們的上帝啊，求你使我們回轉， 叫你的惱恨向我們止息。

Bring us back to you, God of our salvation! Take away your anger towards us.

5 你要向我們發怒到永遠嗎？ 你要將你的怒氣延留到萬代嗎？

Are you going to be furious with us forever? Will you stay angry with us for all future generations?

6 你不再將我們救活， 使你的百姓靠你歡喜嗎？

Won't you restore our lives so your people can find happiness in you?

7 耶和華啊，求你使我們得見你的慈愛， 又將你的救恩賜給我們。

Show us your trustworthy love, Lord! Give us your salvation!

8 我要聽上帝－耶和華所說的話； 因為他必應許將平安賜給他的百姓－他的聖民； 他們卻不可再轉去妄行。

Let me hear what God has to say. God speaks peace to his people, to those who trust in him. But they must not return to their foolish ways.

9 他的救恩誠然與敬畏他的人相近， 叫榮耀住在我們的地上。

Truly God's salvation is with those who do as he says. His glorious presence will live with us in our land.

10 慈愛和誠實彼此相遇； 公義和平安彼此相親。

Trustworthiness and faithful love join together; goodness and peace have kissed each other.

11 誠實從地而生； 公義從天而現。

What is true grows up from the earth; what is right looks down from heaven.

12 耶和華必將好處賜給我們； 我們的地也要多出土產。

The Lord will certainly give us all that is good, and our land will produce fine crops.

13 公義要行在他面前， 叫他的腳蹤成為可走的路。

Truth and right go ahead of him to prepare a path for him to walk on.
