85:1 For the leader. A psalm of the sons of Korach:
85:2 Adonai, you have shown favor to your land; you have restored the fortunes of Ya‘akov,
85:3 taken away the guilt of your people, pardoned all their sin, (Selah)
85:4 withdrawn all your wrath, turned from your fierce anger.
85:5 Restore us, God of our salvation, renounce your displeasure with us.
85:6 Are you to stay angry with us forever? Will your fury last through all generations?
85:7 Won’t you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you?
85:8 Show us your grace, Adonai; grant us your salvation.
85:9 I am listening. What will God, Adonai, say? For he will speak peace to his people, to his holy ones — but only if they don’t relapse into folly.
85:10 His salvation is near for those who fear him, so that glory will be in our land.
85:11 Grace and truth have met together; justice and peace have kissed each other.
85:12 Truth springs up from the earth, and justice looks down from heaven.
85:13 Adonai will also grant prosperity; our land will yield its harvest.
85:14 Justice will walk before him and make his footsteps a path.
