Psalms 85

Mercy and Truth
For the Pure and Shining One
A prophetic song composed by the prophetic singers of Korah’s clan
1Lord, your love has poured out
so many amazing blessings on our land!
You’ve restored Jacob’s destiny from captivity.
2You’ve forgiven our many sins and covered
every one of them in your love.
Pause in his presence
3So now it’s obvious that your blazing anger has ended and
the furious fire of wrath has been extinguished by your mercy.
4So bring us back to loving you, God our Savior.
Restore our hearts so that we’ll never again
feel your anger rise against us.
5Will you forever hold a grudge?
Will your anger endure for all time?
6Revive us again, O God! I know you will! Give us a fresh start!
Then all your people will taste your joy and gladness.
7Pour out even more of your love on us!
Reveal more of your kindness and restore us back to you!
8Now I’ll listen carefully for your voice
and wait to hear whatever you say.
Let me hear your promise of peace—
the message every one of your godly lovers longs to hear.
Don’t let us in our ignorance turn back from following you.
9For I know your power and presence shines on all your devoted lovers.
Your glory always hovers over all who bow low before you.
10Your mercy and your truth have married each other.
Your righteousness and peace have kissed.
11Flowers of your faithfulness are blooming on the earth.
Righteousness shines down from the sky.
12Yes, the Lord keeps raining down blessing after blessing,
and prosperity will drench the land with a bountiful harvest.
13For deliverance # 85:13 Or “righteousness.” goes before him,
preparing a path for his steps.

Psalm 85
The sons of Korah wrote this psalm for the music leader.
A prayer for peace #85:1 In this psalm, God's people remember how he has been kind to them and helped them in past times. They pray that he will return to bless them and give them peace.
1 Lord, you have blessed your land.
You have made Jacob's descendants strong again. #85:1 Jacob's descendants are God's people, the Israelites.
2You forgave your people's sins.
You took away their guilt.
Selah
3You stopped being so angry with them.
You did not punish them any more.
4But now turn back to us,
and make us strong again, God.
You are the one who rescues us.
Please stop being angry with us.
5Will you continue to be angry with us for ever?
Will you be angry with our children too?
6Please turn back to us
and give us new life!
Then your people will be happy
and they will praise you.
7 Lord, show us again your faithful love!
Please rescue us!
8Now I will listen to what the Lord God says.
He will give peace to his people,
to those who serve him.
But they must not turn back
to do foolish things again.
9Yes, God will soon rescue his people who serve him.
Then we will see his glory again in our land.
10God will be faithful to us
and he will love us with his faithful love.
His justice and his peace will join together,
like dear friends.
11Faithful truth will grow like a plant in the ground.
Justice will look down from the sky above. #85:11 The writer uses pictures to show what happens when God blesses his people. He helps his people to live in a good way, so that there is peace and justice and truth among them.
12Yes! The Lord will bless us with many good things.
Plenty of food will grow in our land.
13Justice will go before our God,
and it will make a way for him to walk on.
