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.

Psalms 85
85
To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm.
1Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.
4Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.
5To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
6Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
7Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
8I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.
9Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.
10Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
12 Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
13Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
