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