Psalmen 85

1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm.

2Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

3Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.

4Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.

5Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.

6Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?

7Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.

8Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.

9I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.

10Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.

11Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.

12Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.

13For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.

14Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.

1In finem, filiis Core. Psalmus.

2[Benedixisti, Domine, terram tuam; avertisti captivitatem Jacob.

3Remisisti iniquitatem plebis tuæ; operuisti omnia peccata eorum.

4Mitigasti omnem iram tuam; avertisti ab ira indignationis tuæ.

5Converte nos, Deus salutaris noster, et averte iram tuam a nobis.

6Numquid in æternum irasceris nobis? aut extendes iram tuam a generatione in generationem?

7Deus, tu conversus vivificabis nos, et plebs tua lætabitur in te.

8Ostende nobis, Domine, misericordiam tuam, et salutare tuum da nobis.

9Audiam quid loquatur in me Dominus Deus, quoniam loquetur pacem in plebem suam, et super sanctos suos, et in eos qui convertuntur ad cor.

10Verumtamen prope timentes eum salutare ipsius, ut inhabitet gloria in terra nostra.

11Misericordia et veritas obviaverunt sibi; justitia et pax osculatæ sunt.

12Veritas de terra orta est, et justitia de cælo prospexit.

13Etenim Dominus dabit benignitatem, et terra nostra dabit fructum suum.

14Justitia ante eum ambulabit, et ponet in via gressus suos.]

1Unto the end. A Psalm to the sons of Korah.

2O Lord, you have blessed your land. You have turned aside the captivity of Jacob.

3You have released the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sins.

4You have mitigated all your wrath. You have turned aside from the wrath of your indignation.

5Convert us, O God, our Savior, and turn your anger away from us.

6Will you be angry with us forever? And will you extend your wrath from generation to generation?

7O God, you will turn back and revive us. And your people will rejoice in you.

8O Lord, reveal to us your mercy, and grant to us your salvation.

9I will listen to what the Lord God may be saying to me. For he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those who are being converted to the heart.

10So then, truly his salvation is near to those who fear him, so that glory may inhabit our land.

11Mercy and truth have met each other. Justice and peace have kissed.

12Truth has risen from the earth, and justice has gazed down from heaven.

13For so will the Lord give goodness, and our earth will give her fruit.

14Justice will walk before him, and he will set his steps upon the way.
