| 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!
