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.
YHWH, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back 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 sin. (Selah)
3 You have mitigated all your wrath. You have turned aside from the wrath of your indignation.
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4 Convert us, O God, our Savior, and turn your anger away from us.
Turn us, O Elohim of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
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? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6 O God, you will turn back and revive us. And your people will rejoice in you.
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 O Lord, reveal to us your mercy, and grant to us your salvation.
Shew us thy mercy, O YHWH, 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 El YHWH will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 So then, truly his salvation is near to those who fear him, so that glory may inhabit our land.
Surely his salvation is nigh 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 are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth has risen from the earth, and justice has gazed down from heaven.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 For so will the Lord give goodness, and our earth will give her fruit.
Yea, YHWH shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13 Justice will walk before him, and he will set his steps upon the way.
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
