Psalms 85

1 “To the chief musician, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” Thou hast been favorable, O Lord, unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ يَا رَبُّ، قَدْ رَضِيتَ عَنْ أَرْضِكَ، وَأَرْجَعْتَ سَبْيَ يَعْقُوبَ.

2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered over all their sin. (Selah)

٢ إِذْ غَفَرْتَ لِشَعْبِكَ إِثْمَهُمْ، وَسَتَرْتَ خَطَايَاهُمْ كُلَّهَا.

3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast relinquished the fierceness of thy anger.

٣ سَكَّنْتَ كُلَّ سَخَطِكَ. رَجَعْتَ عَنْ غَضَبِكَ الرَّهِيبِ.

4 Return to us, O God of our salvation, and cause thy ill-will toward us to cease.

٤ رُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ يَا اللهُ مُخَلِّصَنَا، وَاصْرِفْ غَيْظَكَ عَنَّا.

5 Wilt thou be wroth with us for ever? wilt thou extend thy anger from generation to generation?

٥ أَتَسْخَطُ عَلَيْنَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ أَتُطِيلُ غَضَبَكَ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ؟

6 Wilt thou not [now] revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

٦ أَمَا تُحْيِينَا مِنْ جَدِيدٍ فَيَفْرَحَ بِكَ شَعْبُكَ؟

7 Show us thy kindness, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.

٧ أَظْهِرْ لَنَا رَحْمَتَكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَامْنَحْنَا خَلاصَكَ.

8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his pious ones: only let them not turn again to folly.

٨ إِنِّي أَسْمَعُ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ اللهُ الرَّبُّ، فَإِنَّهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِالسَّلامِ لِشَعْبِهِ وَلأَتْقِيَائِهِ، فَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى الْجَهَالَةِ.

9 Surely, nigh is his salvation unto those that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.

٩ حَقّاً إِنَّ خَلاصَهُ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَهُ، لِكَيْ يُقِيمَ الْمَجْدُ فِي أَرْضِنَا.

10 Kindness and truth are met together: righteousness and peace kiss each other.

١٠ الرَّحْمَةُ وَالْحَقُّ تَلاقَيَا، الْبِرُّ وَالسَّلامُ تَعَانَقَا.

11 Truth will grow up out of the earth, and righteousness will look down from heaven.

١١ يَنْبُتُ الْحَقُّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَيُشْرِفُ الْبِرُّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ.

12 Yea, the Lord will also give the good, and our land will yield its products.

١٢ أَيْضاً يُعْطِي الرَّبُّ الْخَيْرَ، فَتُنْتِجُ الأَرْضُ غَلَّاتِهَا الْوَافِرَةَ.

13 Righteousness will walk firmly before him, and will make [level] the way by its steps.

١٣ يَتَقَدَّمُهُ الْبِرُّ، وَيُمَهِّدُ الطَّرِيقَ لِخَطَوَاتِهِ.
