Psalms 85

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NEW JERUSALEM
1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. LORD, thou wast favorable to thy land; thou didst restore the fortunes 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 didst forgive the iniquity of thy people; thou didst pardon all their sin. [Selah]	2 you take away the guilt of your people, you blot out al their sin.Pause
3 Thou didst withdraw all thy wrath; thou didst turn from thy hot anger.	3 You retract al your anger, you renounce the heat of your fury.
4 Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away thy indignation toward us!	4 Bring us back, God our Saviour, appease your indignation against us!
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou prolong thy 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 Show us thy steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.	7 Show us, Lord, your faithful love, grant us your saving help.
8 Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints, to those who turn to him in their hearts.	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 at hand for those who 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 Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.	10 Faithful Love and Loyalty join together, Saving Justice and Peace embrace.
11 Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.	11 Loyalty wil spring up from the earth, and Justice wil lean down from heaven.
12 Yea, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.	12 Yahweh will himself give prosperity, and our soil wil yield its harvest.
13 Righteousness will go before him, and make his footsteps a way.	13 Justice will walk before him, treading out a path.
