Psalm 85
For the director of music. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1Lord, you were good to your land.
You blessed the people of Jacob with great success again.
2You forgave the evil things your people did.
You took away all their sins.
3You stopped being angry with them.
You turned your great anger away from them.
4God our Savior, make us new again.
Stop being unhappy with us.
5Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you be angry for all time to come?
6Won’t you give us new life again?
Then we’ll be joyful because of what you have done.
7Lord, show us your faithful love.
Save us.
8I will listen to what God the Lord says.
He promises peace to his faithful people.
But they must not turn to foolish ways.
9I know he’s ready to save those who have respect for him.
Then his glory can be seen in our land.
10God’s truth and faithful love join together.
His peace and holiness kiss each other.
11His truth springs up from the earth.
His holiness looks down from heaven.
12The Lord will certainly give what is good.
Our land will produce its crops.
13God’s holiness leads the way in front of him.
It prepares the way for his coming.
第 85 篇
为国家求福
可拉后裔的诗，交给乐长。
1耶和华啊，你赐福了你的土地，
使雅各的子孙重返家园。
2你赦免了你子民的罪过，
遮盖了他们所有的过犯。（细拉）
3你收回自己的怒气，
不发烈怒。
4拯救我们的上帝啊，
求你复兴我们，
止息你对我们的怒气。
5你要向我们永远发怒吗？
你的怒气要延续到万代吗？
6你不再复兴我们，
使你的子民靠你欢喜吗？
7耶和华啊，求你向我们施慈爱，拯救我们。
8我要听耶和华上帝所说的话，
因为祂应许赐平安给祂忠心的子民。
但我们不可再犯罪。
9祂拯救敬畏祂的人，
好让祂的荣耀常驻在我们的地上。
10慈爱和忠信同行，
公义与平安相亲。
11忠信从地而生，
公义从天而现。
12耶和华赐下祝福，
我们的土地就出产丰富。
13公义要行在祂面前，为祂开路。
