Psalms 85
85
To the director: A song of praise from the Korah family.
1Lord, you have been so kind to your land.
You have brought success again to the people of Jacob.
2You have forgiven the bad things your people did.
You have taken away the guilt of their sins! Selah
3You stopped being angry with them.
Your terrible anger has gone away.
4Our God and Savior, accept us again.
Don’t be angry with us anymore.
5Will you be angry with us forever?
Will your anger reach to our children and to their children?
6Please, give us new life!
Make your people happy to be yours.
7Lord, save us
and show us your love.
8I heard what the Lord God said.
He said there would be peace for his people and his loyal followers.
So they must not go back to their foolish way of living.
9He will soon save his faithful followers.
His glory will again live in our land.#85:9 His … land Or “We will soon live with honor in our land.”
10God’s love will come together with his faithful people.
Goodness and peace will greet them with a kiss.
11People on earth will be loyal to God,
and God in heaven will be good to them.#85:11 Literally, “Loyalty will sprout from the ground, and goodness will look down from the sky.”
12The Lord will give us many good things.
The ground will grow many good crops.
13Goodness will go before the Lord
and prepare the way for him.

Psalm 85
85
1 A Prayer of David himself. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me. For I am needy and poor.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy. My God, bring salvation to your servant who hopes in you.
3 O Lord, be merciful to me, for I have cried out to you all day long.
4 Give joy to the soul of your servant, for I have lifted up my soul to you, Lord.
5 For you are sweet and mild, Lord, and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon you.
6 Pay attention, Lord, to my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplication.
7 In the day of my tribulation, I cried out to you, because you heeded me.
8 There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, and there is no one like you in your works.
9 All the nations, which you have made, will draw near and adore in your presence, O Lord. And they will glorify your name.
10 For you are great, and you perform wonders. You alone are God.
11 Lead me, O Lord, in your way, and I will walk in your truth. May my heart rejoice, so that it will fear your name.
12 I will confess to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart. And I will glorify your name in eternity.
13 For your mercy toward me is great, and you have rescued my soul from the lower part of Hell.
14 O God, the iniquitous have risen up against me, and the synagogue of the powerful have sought my soul, and they have not placed you in their sight.
15 And you, Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, being patient and full of mercy and truthful.
16 Look down upon me and have mercy on me. Grant your authority to your servant, and bring salvation to the son of your handmaid.
17 Make me a sign of what is good, so that those who hate me, may look and be confounded. For you, O Lord, have helped me and consoled me.
