Psalms 85

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

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

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

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

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

7 Show us, O YHWH, your kindness, And You give to us Your salvation.

8 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 Surely His salvation [is] near to those fearing Him, That glory may dwell in our land.

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

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

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

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