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 chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Yahweh, you have showed favor to your land; you have restored the well-being of Jacob.

2 你赦免了你百姓的罪孽， 遮蓋了他們一切的過犯。 (細拉)

You have forgiven the sin of your people; you have covered all their sin. (Selah)

3 你收轉了所發的忿怒 和你猛烈的怒氣。

You have withdrawn all your wrath; you have turned back from your hot anger.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。

Restore us, God of our salvation, and let go of your displeasure with 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？

Will you be angry with us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations?

6 你不再將我們救活， 使你的百姓靠你歡喜嗎？

Will you not revive us again? Then your people will rejoice 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 covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, grant 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。

I will listen to what Yahweh God says, for he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers. Yet they must not turn again to 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。

Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him; then glory will remain in our land.

10 慈愛和誠實彼此相遇； 公義和平安彼此相親。

Covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 誠實從地而生； 公義從天而現。

Trustworthiness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.

12 耶和華必將好處賜給我們； 我們的地也要多出土產。

Yes, Yahweh will give his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops.

13 公義要行在他面前， 叫他的腳蹤成為可走的路。

Righteousness will go before him and make a way for his footsteps.
