1(85) For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. O Lord, you have taken pleasure in your land: you have turned back the captivity of Jacob.
1Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2You have forgiven your people their transgressions; you have covered all their sins. Pause.
2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3You have caused all your wrath to cease: you have turned from your fierce anger.
3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn your anger away from us .
4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5Wouldest you be angry with us for ever? or will you continue your wrath from generation to generation?
5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6O God, you will turn and quicken us; and your people shall rejoice in you.
6Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7Show us your mercy, O Lord, and grant us your salvation.
7Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
8I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those that turn their heart toward him.
8I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].
10Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
11Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit.
12Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set his steps in the way .
13Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
