Psalms 85

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.

可拉后裔的诗，交与伶长。 耶和华啊，你已经向你的地施恩， 救回被掳的雅各。

2 The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah)

你赦免了你百姓的罪孽， 遮盖了他们一切的过犯。 (细拉)

3 You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.

你收转了所发的忿怒 和你猛烈的怒气。

4 Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.

拯救我们的 神啊，求你使我们回转， 叫你的恼恨向我们止息。

5 Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?

你要向我们发怒到永远吗？ 你要将你的怒气延留到万代吗？

6 Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?

你不再将我们救活， 使你的百姓靠你欢喜吗？

7 Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.

耶和华啊，求你使我们得见你的慈爱， 又将你的救恩赐给我们。

8 I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.

我要听 神—耶和华所说的话； 因为他必应许将平安赐给他的百姓—他的圣民； 他们却不可再转去妄行。

9 Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.

他的救恩诚然与敬畏他的人相近， 叫荣耀住在我们的地上。

10 Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.

慈爱和诚实彼此相遇； 公义和平安彼此相亲。

11 Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.

诚实从地而生； 公义从天而现。

12 The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.

耶和华必将好处赐给我们； 我们的地也要多出土产。

13 Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.

公义要行在他面前， 叫他的脚踪成为可走的路。
