< תהילים 85 >
למנצח לבני קרח מזמור רצית יהוה ארצך שבת שבות יעקב׃ | 1 |
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.
נשאת עון עמך כסית כל חטאתם סלה׃ | 2 |
The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah)
אספת כל עברתך השיבות מחרון אפך׃ | 3 |
You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.
שובנו אלהי ישענו והפר כעסך עמנו׃ | 4 |
Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.
הלעולם תאנף בנו תמשך אפך לדר ודר׃ | 5 |
Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?
הלא אתה תשוב תחינו ועמך ישמחו בך׃ | 6 |
Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?
הראנו יהוה חסדך וישעך תתן לנו׃ | 7 |
Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.
אשמעה מה ידבר האל יהוה כי ידבר שלום אל עמו ואל חסידיו ואל ישובו לכסלה׃ | 8 |
I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.
אך קרוב ליראיו ישעו לשכן כבוד בארצנו׃ | 9 |
Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.
חסד ואמת נפגשו צדק ושלום נשקו׃ | 10 |
Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.
אמת מארץ תצמח וצדק משמים נשקף׃ | 11 |
Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.
גם יהוה יתן הטוב וארצנו תתן יבולה׃ | 12 |
The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.
צדק לפניו יהלך וישם לדרך פעמיו׃ | 13 |
Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.
