Psalm 85

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. A psalm of the sons of Korach: ADONAI, you have shown favor to your land; you have restored the fortunes of Ya'akov,

2 taken away the guilt of your people, pardoned all their sin, (Selah)

3 withdrawn all your wrath, turned from your fierce anger.

4 Restore us, God of our salvation, renounce your displeasure with us.

5 Are you to stay angry with us forever? Will your fury last through all generations?

6 Won't you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you?

7 Show us your grace, ADONAI; grant us your salvation.

8 I am listening. What will God, ADONAI, say? For he will speak peace to his people, to his holy ones -but only if they don't relapse into folly.

9 His salvation is near for those who fear him, so that glory will be in our land.

10 Grace and truth have met together; justice and peace have kissed each other.

11 Truth springs up from the earth, and justice looks down from heaven.

12 ADONAI will also grant prosperity; our land will yield its harvest.

13 Justice will walk before him and make his footsteps a path.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.> Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.

2 The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah.)

3 You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.

4 Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.

5 Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?

6 Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?

7 Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.

8 I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.

9 Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.

10 Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.

11 Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.

12 The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.

13 Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.
