Psalms 85

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