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.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. You have accepted, O YHWH, Your land, You have turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.

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

You have carried away the iniquity of Your people, You have covered all their sin. (Selah)

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

You have gathered up all Your wrath, You have turned back from the fierceness of Your anger.

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

Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Your anger with us.

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

Are You angry against us for all time? Do You draw out Your anger To generation and generation?

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

Do You not turn back? You revive us, And Your people rejoice in You.

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

Show us, O YHWH, your kindness, And You give to us Your 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 hear what God, YHWH, speaks, For He speaks peace to His people, And to His saints, and they do not turn back 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] near to those fearing Him, That glory may dwell in our land.

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

Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

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

Truth springs up from the earth, And righteousness looks out from the heavens,

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

YHWH also gives that which is good, And our land gives its increase.

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

Righteousness goes before Him, And makes a way for His footsteps!
