PSALM 85
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1O Lord, thou hast been favourable
to thy beloved land:
Jacob's captivity thou hast
recall'd with mighty hand.
2Thou pardoned thy people hast
all their iniquities;
Thou all their trespasses and sins
hast cover'd from thine eyes.
3Thou took'st off all thine ire, and turn'dst
from thy wrath's furiousness.
4Turn us, God of our health, and cause
thy wrath 'gainst us to cease.
5Shall thy displeasure thus endure
against us without end?
Wilt thou to generations all
thine anger forth extend?
6That in thee may thy people joy,
wilt thou not us revive?
7Shew us thy mercy, Lord, to us
do thy salvation give.
8I'll hear what God the Lord will speak:
to his folk he'll speak peace,
And to his saints; but let them not
return to foolishness.
9To them that fear him surely near
is his salvation;
That glory in our land may have
her habitation.
10Truth met with mercy, righteousness
and peace kiss'd mutually:
11Truth springs from earth, and righteousness
looks down from heaven high.
12Yea, what is good the Lord shall give;
our land shall yield increase:
13Justice, to set us in his steps,
shall go before his face.

Tehillim (Psalms) 85
85
1יהוה, You shall take pleasure in Your land; You shall turn back the captivity of Ya‛aqoḇ.
2You shall take away the crookedness of Your people; You shall cover all their sin. Selah.
3You shall withdraw all Your wrath; You shall turn from Your fierce displeasure.
4Turn back to us, O Elohim of our deliverance, And cause Your vexation toward us to cease.
5Would You be enraged with us forever? Would You draw out Your displeasure From generation to generation?
6Would You not revive us again, For Your people to rejoice in You?
7Show us Your loving-commitment, O יהוה, And give us Your deliverance.
8Let me hear what Ěl יהוה speaks, For He speaks peace to His people And to His lovingly-committed ones; And let them not turn again to folly.
9Truly, His deliverance is near to those who fear Him, For esteem to dwell in our land.
10Loving-commitment and truth shall meet, Righteousness and peace shall kiss.
11Truth sprouts forth from the earth, And righteousness looks down from heaven,
12Indeed, יהוה gives what is good, And our land yields its increase.
13Righteousness goes before Him, And prepares a way for His footsteps.
