< Psalmorum 85 >

1 In finem, filiis Core, Psalmus. Benedixisti Domine terram tuam: avertisti captivitatem Iacob.
Jehovah, thou have been favorable to thy land. Thou have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Remisisti iniquitatem plebis tuæ: operuisti omnia peccata eorum.
Thou have forgiven the iniquity of thy people. Thou have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Mitigasti omnem iram tuam: avertisti ab ira indignationis tuæ.
Thou have taken away all thy wrath. Thou have turned from the fierceness of thine anger.
4 Converte nos Deus salutaris noster: et averte iram tuam a nobis.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.
5 Numquid in æternum irasceris nobis? aut extendes iram tuam a generatione in generationem?
Will thou be angry with us forever? Will thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6 Deus tu conversus vivificabis nos: et plebs tua lætabitur in te.
Will thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Ostende nobis Domine misericordiam tuam: et salutare tuum da nobis.
Show us thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.
8 Audiam quid loquatur in me Dominus Deus: quoniam loquetur pacem in plebem suam. Et super sanctos suos: et in eos, qui convertuntur ad cor.
I will hear what God, Jehovah, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, and to his sanctified. But let them not turn again to folly.
9 Verumtamen prope timentes eum salutare ipsius: ut inhabitet gloria in terra nostra.
Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Misericordia, et veritas obviaverunt sibi: iustitia, et pax osculatæ sunt.
Mercy and truth are met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Veritas de terra orta est: et iustitia de cælo prospexit.
Truth springs out of the earth, and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
12 Etenim Dominus dabit benignitatem: et terra nostra dabit fructum suum.
Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good, and our land shall yield its increase.
13 Iustitia ante eum ambulabit: et ponet in via gressus suos.
Righteousness shall go before him, and shall make his footsteps a path.
