85:1 For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. You showed favor to your land, O LORD; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
85:2 You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins. Selah
85:3 You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger.
85:4 Restore us again, O God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us.
85:5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations?
85:6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
85:7 Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
85:8 I will listen to what God the LORD will say; he promises peace to his people, his saints–but let them not return to folly.
85:9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
85:10 Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other.
85:11 Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
85:12 The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.
85:13 Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps.
85:1 You have been pleased, O Jehovah, with Your land; / You have turned the captivity of Jacob.
85:2 You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; / You have covered all their sin. Selah
85:3 You have taken away all Your wrath; / You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.
85:4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, / And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.
85:5 Will You be angry with us forever? / Will You extend Your anger from generation to generation?
85:6 Will You not again revive us, / That Your people may rejoice in You?
85:7 Show us, O Jehovah, Your lovingkindness, / And grant us Your salvation.
85:8 I will hear what God Jehovah will speak, / For He will speak peace / To His people and to His faithful ones; / But let them not turn again unto folly.
85:9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, / That glory may dwell in our land.
85:10 Lovingkindness and truth have met together; / Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
85:11 Truth has sprung forth from the earth, / And righteousness has looked down from heaven.
85:12 Indeed Jehovah will give what is good, / And our land will give its increase.
85:13 Righteousness will go before Him / And make His footsteps a way to walk in.
