Psalms 85

1 Yahweh, you have been kind to [us people who live in] this land; you have enabled [us] Israeli people to become prosperous again.

可拉后裔的诗，交与伶长。 耶和华啊，你已经向你的地施恩， 救回被掳的雅各。

2 You forgave [us], your people, for the sins that we had committed; you pardoned [us] for all our sins [DOU].

你赦免了你百姓的罪孽， 遮盖了他们一切的过犯。 (细拉)

3 You stopped being angry [with us] and turned away from severely punishing [us].

你收转了所发的忿怒 和你猛烈的怒气。

4 Now, God, the one who saves/rescues us, (restore us/make us prosperous again) and stop being angry with us!

拯救我们的 神啊，求你使我们回转， 叫你的恼恨向我们止息。

5 (Will you continue to be angry with us forever?/Please do not continue to be angry with us forever.) [DOU, RHQ]

你要向我们发怒到永远吗？ 你要将你的怒气延留到万代吗？

6 Please enable us [RHQ] to prosper again in order that [we], your people, will rejoice about what you [have done for us].

你不再将我们救活， 使你的百姓靠你欢喜吗？

7 Yahweh, by rescuing us [from our troubles/difficulties], show us that you faithfully love us.

耶和华啊，求你使我们得见你的慈爱， 又将你的救恩赐给我们。

8 I want to listen to what Yahweh [our] God says, because he promises/says that he will enable [us], his people, to live peacefully, if we do not return to doing foolish things.

我要听 神—耶和华所说的话； 因为他必应许将平安赐给他的百姓—他的圣民； 他们却不可再转去妄行。

9 He is surely ready to save/rescue those who revere him, in order that [his] glory/splendor will be seen in our land.

他的救恩诚然与敬畏他的人相近， 叫荣耀住在我们的地上。

10 [When that happens], he will both faithfully love us and faithfully [do for us what he promised to do] [PRS]; and we will act/behave righteously, and he will give us peace, which will be like a kiss that he gives us.

慈爱和诚实彼此相遇； 公义和平安彼此相亲。

11 Here on earth, we will (be loyal to/continually believe in) God, and from heaven, God will act justly/fairly [toward us].

诚实从地而生； 公义从天而现。

12 Yes, Yahweh will do good things [for us], and there will be great harvests in our land.

耶和华必将好处赐给我们； 我们的地也要多出土产。

13 [Yahweh always acts] righteously [PRS, MET]; he acts righteously wherever he goes.

公义要行在他面前， 叫他的脚踪成为可走的路。
