Psalmorum 85
1 Psalmus, in finem, filiis Core. Benedixisti Domine terram tuam: avertisti captivitatem Iacob.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.
2 Remisisti iniquitatem plebis tuae: operuisti omnia peccata eorum.
You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin.
3 Mitigasti omnem iram tuam: avertisti ab ira indignationis tuae.
You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.
4 Converte nos Deus salutaris noster: et averte iram tuam a nobis.
Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.
5 Numquid in aeternum irasceris nobis? aut extendes iram tuam a generatione in generationem?
Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
6 Deus tu conversus vivificabis nos: et plebs tua laetabitur in te.
Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
7 Ostende nobis Domine misericordiam tuam: et salutare tuum da nobis.
Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your 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 listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.
9 Verumtamen prope timentes eum salutare ipsius: ut inhabitet gloria in terra nostra.
Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.
10 Misericordia, et veritas obviaverunt sibi: iustitia, et pax osculatae sunt.
Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Veritas de terra orta est: et iustitia de caelo prospexit.
Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 Etenim Dominus dabit benignitatem: et terra nostra dabit fructum suum.
The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13 Iustitia ante eum ambulabit: et ponet in via gressus suos.
Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
