Psalm 85:2-12

Listen to Psalm 85:2-12
2 Éternel, tu as été propice envers ta terre; tu as ramené les captifs de Jacob.
3 Tu as pardonné l'iniquité de ton peuple; tu as couvert tous leurs péchés. (Sélah.)
4 Tu as retiré tout ton courroux; tu es revenu de l'ardeur de ta colère.
5 Rétablis-nous, ô Dieu de notre salut, et fais cesser ton indignation contre nous!
6 Seras-tu toujours courroucé contre nous? Feras-tu durer ta colère d'âge en âge?
7 Ne reviendras-tu pas nous rendre la vie, afin que ton peuple se réjouisse en toi?
8 Fais-nous voir ta bonté, ô Éternel, et accorde-nous ta délivrance!
9 J'écouterai ce que dit Dieu, l'Éternel, car il parlera de paix à son peuple et à ses bien-aimés, afin qu'ils ne retournent plus à la folie.
10 Oui, son salut est près de ceux qui le craignent, afin que la gloire habite dans notre terre.
11 La bonté et la vérité se sont rencontrées; la justice et la paix se sont entrebaisées.
12 La vérité germera de la terre, et la justice regardera des cieux.

Psalm 85:2-12 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. This psalm is generally thought to have been composed after the return of the Jews from their captivity in Babylon; and yet when they were in some distress from their neighbours, either in the times of Ezra and Nehemiah, or in the times of Antiochus; but then this deliverance from captivity must be considered as typical of redemption by Christ; for as the title of the Syriac version is, "it is a prophecy concerning Christ;" it speaks of his dwelling in the land, of his salvation being near, and of the glory of the divine perfections as displayed in it; and perhaps some parts of it may respect the conversion of the Jews in the latter day; and Aben Ezra and Kimchi say, it is concerning the captivity of Babylon, yet also of their present captivity.
