Psalms 85

1 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.

Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm. Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

2 You have released the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sins.

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.

3 You have mitigated all your wrath. You have turned aside from the wrath of your indignation.

Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.

4 Convert us, O God, our Savior, and turn your anger away from us.

Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.

5 Will you be angry with us forever? And will you extend your wrath from generation to generation?

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?

6 O God, you will turn back and revive us. And your people will rejoice in you.

Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.

7 O Lord, reveal to us your mercy, and grant to us your salvation.

Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.

8 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.

I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.

9 So then, truly his salvation is near to those who fear him, so that glory may inhabit our land.

Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.

10 Mercy and truth have met each other. Justice and peace have kissed.

Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.

11 Truth has risen from the earth, and justice has gazed down from heaven.

Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.

12 For so will the Lord give goodness, and our earth will give her fruit.

For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.

13 Justice will walk before him, and he will set his steps upon the way.

Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.
