| 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! --
