Psalm 85
For the choir director; a psalm by Korah’s descendants.
1You favored your land, O Lord.
You restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2You removed your people’s guilt.
You pardoned all their sins. Selah
3You laid aside all your fury.
You turned away from your burning anger.
4Restore us, O God, our savior.
Put an end to your anger against us.
5Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you ever let go of your anger in the generations to come?
6Won’t you restore our lives again
so that your people may find joy in you?
7Show us your mercy, O Lord,
by giving us your salvation.
8I want to hear what God the Lord says,
because he promises peace to his people, to his godly ones.
But they must not go back to their stupidity.
9Indeed, his salvation is near those who fear him,
and ⌞his⌟ glory will remain in our land.
10Mercy and truth have met.
Righteousness and peace have kissed.
11Truth sprouts from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12The Lord will certainly give us what is good,
and our land will produce crops.
13Righteousness will go ahead of him
and make a path for his steps.

Tehillim 85
85
(For the one directing. Of the Bnei Korach. Mizmor)
1 Hashem, Thou hast been favorable unto Thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Ya'akov.
2 Thou hast forgiven the avon (iniquity) of Amecha (Thy people); Thou hast covered all their chattat (sin). Selah
3 Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from Thine charon af.
4 Turn us, O Elohei Yisheinu (G-d of our salvation), and put away Thine ka'as (anger) toward us.
5 Wilt Thou be angry with us l'olam? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger l'dor vador?
6 Wilt Thou not revive us again; that Amecha (Thy people) may rejoice in Thee?
7 Show us chasdecha (Thy chesed, kindness, steadfast love), Hashem, and grant us Thy salvation.
8 I will hear what HaEl Hashem will say; for He will speak shalom unto His people, and to His Chasidim; but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely His salvation is karov (near) them that fear Him; that kavod may dwell in Artzeinu (our land).
10 Chesed and emes will meet together; tzedek and shalom will kiss each other.
11 Emes shall titzmach (sprout forth)#85:11 T.N. Tzemach — Branch, Sprout — is the code name for Moshiach and the coming Tzemachʼs Namesake in Zech 6:11-12 is Yehoshua, Yeshua — see Ezra 3:8; Zech 3:8; 6:11-12. Go to Jer 23:5 and look at all the references. These are among the most important Scriptures in the Bible because it is here that the saving Name of Moshiach Tzidkeinu is prophetically communicated for salvation; the word Tzemach means “Moshiach” and it is the code word par excellence for Moshiach in the post-Exilic references in the minor prophets; this veiled reference to Moshiach was necessary in the situation of the Return under Persian rule when talk of a coming king was a delicate matter. out of ha'aretz; and tzedek shall look down from Shomayim.
12 Yes, Hashem shall give that which is tov; and Artzeinu (our land) shall yield her yevul (increase, produce).
13 Tzedek shall go before Him; and shall set us in the Derech of His steps.
