Psalm 85:1-6

1 Salmo 85
Para el director del coro: salmo de los descendientes de Coré.
¡S
, tú derramaste bendiciones sobre tu tierra!
Devolviste el bienestar a Israel.

2 Perdonaste la culpa de tu pueblo;
sí, cubriste todos sus pecados.
Interludio

3 Contuviste tu furia
y refrenaste tu enojo encendido.

4 Ahora, restáuranos, oh Dios de nuestra salvación;
aparta tu enojo de nosotros una vez más.

5 ¿Seguirás enojado con nosotros para siempre?
¿Extenderás tu ira a todas las generaciones?

6 ¿No volverás a darnos vida,
para que tu pueblo pueda alegrarse en ti?

Psalm 85:1-6 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.
