< Psalms 85 >
1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
Psalmus, in finem, filiis Core. Benedixisti Domine terram tuam: avertisti captivitatem Iacob.
2 Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)
Remisisti iniquitatem plebis tuae: operuisti omnia peccata eorum.
3 Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.
Mitigasti omnem iram tuam: avertisti ab ira indignationis tuae.
4 Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.
Converte nos Deus salutaris noster: et averte iram tuam a nobis.
5 To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
Numquid in aeternum irasceris nobis? aut extendes iram tuam a generatione in generationem?
6 Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
Deus tu conversus vivificabis nos: et plebs tua laetabitur in te.
7 Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
Ostende nobis Domine misericordiam tuam: et salutare tuum da nobis.
8 I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.
Audiam quid loquatur in me Dominus Deus: quoniam loquetur pacem in plebem suam. Et super sanctos suos: et in eos, qui convertuntur ad cor.
9 Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.
Verumtamen prope timentes eum salutare ipsius: ut inhabitet gloria in terra nostra.
10 Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
Misericordia, et veritas obviaverunt sibi: iustitia, et pax osculatae sunt.
11 Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
Veritas de terra orta est: et iustitia de caelo prospexit.
12 Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
Etenim Dominus dabit benignitatem: et terra nostra dabit fructum suum.
13 Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
Iustitia ante eum ambulabit: et ponet in via gressus suos.
