Psalms 85
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] YHWH, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes 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 forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.
3 You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
4 Restore us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.
5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
6 Won't you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
7 Show us your loving kindness, YHWH. Grant us your salvation.
Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.
8 I will hear what God, YHWH, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his faithful ones; but let them not turn again to folly.
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 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
11 Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
12 Yes, YHWH will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.
13 Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.
Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.
