Psalm 85 - The Scriptures 2009

¹ יהוה, You shall take pleasure in Your land; You shall turn back the captivity of Ya‛aqoḇ.

² You shall take away the crookedness of Your people; You shall cover all their sin. Selah.

³ You shall withdraw all Your wrath; You shall turn from Your fierce displeasure.

⁴ Turn back to us, O Elohim of our deliverance, And cause Your vexation toward us to cease.

⁵ Would You be enraged with us forever? Would You draw out Your displeasure From generation to generation?

⁶ Would You not revive us again, For Your people to rejoice in You?

⁷ Show us Your loving-commitment, O יהוה, And give us Your deliverance.

⁸ Let me hear what Ěl יהוה speaks, For He speaks peace to His people And to His lovingly-committed ones; And let them not turn again to folly.

⁹ Truly, His deliverance is near to those who fear Him, For esteem to dwell in our land.

¹⁰ Loving-commitment and truth shall meet, Righteousness and peace shall kiss.

¹¹ Truth sprouts forth from the earth, And righteousness looks down from heaven,

¹² Indeed, יהוה gives what is good, And our land yields its increase.

¹³ Righteousness goes before Him, And prepares a way for His footsteps.
