Psalm 85

Complete Jewish Bible

85 ⁽⁰⁾For the leader. A psalm of the sons of Korach:

²⁽¹⁾Adonai, you have shown favor to your land;
you have restored the fortunes of Ya‘akov,
³⁽²⁾taken away the guilt of your people,
pardoned all their sin, (Selah)
⁴⁽³⁾withdrawn all your wrath,
turned from your fierce anger.

⁵⁽⁴⁾Restore us, God of our salvation,
renounce your displeasure with us.
⁶⁽⁵⁾Are you to stay angry with us forever?
Will your fury last through all generations?

⁷⁽⁶⁾Won’t you revive us again,
so your people can rejoice in you?
⁸⁽⁷⁾Show us your grace, Adonai;
grant us your salvation.

⁹⁽⁸⁾I am listening. What will God, Adonai, say?
For he will speak peace to his people,
to his holy ones —
but only if they don’t relapse into folly.
¹⁰⁽⁹⁾His salvation is near for those who fear him,
so that glory will be in our land.
¹¹⁽¹⁰⁾Grace and truth have met together;
justice and peace have kissed each other.
¹²⁽¹¹⁾Truth springs up from the earth,
and justice looks down from heaven.
¹³⁽¹²⁾Adonai will also grant prosperity;
our land will yield its harvest.
¹⁴⁽¹³⁾Justice will walk before him
and make his footsteps a path.
