< Psalms 85 >
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. LORD, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
詠【求賜平安與幸福】 科辣黑子孫的詩歌,交於樂官。 天主,您對您的地域已加垂憐,且將雅各伯的命改善;
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
赦免了您百姓的罪愆,遮掩了他們所有的過犯;
3 You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
抑制了您怒氣的火燄。
4 Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
天主,我們的救主,求您復興我們,求您從我們身上消除您的氣憤。
5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
您豈能永遠向我們發怒?世世代代發洩您的憤怒?
6 Will not you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
難道不是您使我們復生?使您的子民因您而歡欣?
7 Show us your loving kindness, LORD. Grant us your salvation.
上主,求您向我們顯示您的救恩。
8 I will hear what God, the LORD, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to folly.
我要聽天主上主說的話:祂向自己的聖者和子民,以及向祂回心轉意的人,所說的話確實是和平綸音。
9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
祂的救恩必接近敬箋愛祂的人,為使我們在地上久存。
10 Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
仁愛和忠信必彼此相親。
11 Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
忠信從地下生出,正義由天上遠矚。
12 Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
上主必賜下安康幸福;我們的土地必有豐收穫。
13 Righteousness goes before him, and prepares the way for his steps.
正義在上主前面行走,救恩必隨同上主的腳步。
