Psalms 85
1 Jehovah, thou have been favorable to thy land. Thou have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Unto the end. A Psalm to the sons of Korah. O Lord, you have blessed your land. You have turned aside the captivity of Jacob.
2 Thou have forgiven the iniquity of thy people. Thou have covered all their sin. (Selah)
You have released the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sins.
3 Thou have taken away all thy wrath. Thou have turned from the fierceness of thine anger.
You have mitigated all your wrath. You have turned aside from the wrath of your indignation.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.
Convert us, O God, our Savior, and turn your anger away from us.
5 Will thou be angry with us forever? Will thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
Will you be angry with us forever? And will you extend your wrath from generation to generation?
6 Will thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
O God, you will turn back and revive us. And your people will rejoice in you.
7 Show us thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.
O Lord, reveal to us your mercy, and grant to us your salvation.
8 I will hear what God, Jehovah, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, and to his sanctified. But let them not turn again to folly.
I will listen to what the Lord God may be saying to me. For he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those who are being converted to the heart.
9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
So then, truly his salvation is near to those who fear him, so that glory may inhabit our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Mercy and truth have met each other. Justice and peace have kissed.
11 Truth springs out of the earth, and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
Truth has risen from the earth, and justice has gazed down from heaven.
12 Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good, and our land shall yield its increase.
For so will the Lord give goodness, and our earth will give her fruit.
13 Righteousness shall go before him, and shall make his footsteps a path.
Justice will walk before him, and he will set his steps upon the way.
