Psalms 85

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.	1 [For the choirmaster Of the sons of Korah Psalm] Yahweh, you are gracious to your land, you bringback the captives of Jacob,
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.	2 you take away the guilt of your people, you blot out al their sin.Pause
3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.	3 You retract al your anger, you renounce the heat of your fury.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.	4 Bring us back, God our Saviour, appease your indignation against us!
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?	5 Wil you be angry with us for ever? Wil you prolong your wrath age after age?
6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?	6 Wil you not give us life again, for your people to rejoice in you?
7 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.	7 Show us, Lord, your faithful love, grant us your saving help.
8 I 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.	8 I am listening. What is God's message? Yahweh's message is peace for his people, for his faithful, ifonly they renounce their folly.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.	9 His saving help is near for those who fear him, his glory wil dwel in our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.	10 Faithful Love and Loyalty join together, Saving Justice and Peace embrace.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.	11 Loyalty wil spring up from the earth, and Justice wil lean down from heaven.
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.	12 Yahweh will himself give prosperity, and our soil wil yield its harvest.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.	13 Justice will walk before him, treading out a path.
