85
1 (For the one directing. Of the Bnei Korach. Mizmor)
2 Hashem, Thou hast been favorable unto Thy land;
Thou hast brought back the captivity of Ya'akov.
3 Thou hast forgiven the avon (iniquity) of Amecha (Thy people);
Thou hast covered all their chattat (sin).
Selah
4 Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath;
Thou hast turned from Thine charon af.
5 Turn us, O Elohei Yisheinu (G-d of our salvation),
and put away Thine ka'as (anger) toward us.
6 Wilt Thou be angry with us l'olam?
Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger l'dor vador?
7 Wilt Thou not revive us again;
that Amecha (Thy people) may rejoice in Thee?
8 Show us chasdecha (Thy chesed, kindness, steadfast love), Hashem,
and grant us Thy salvation.
9 I will hear what HaEl Hashem will say;
for He will speak shalom unto His people, and to His Chasidim;
but let them not turn again to folly.
10 Surely His salvation is karov (near) them that fear Him;
that kavod may dwell in Artzeinu (our land).
11 Chesed and emes will meet together;
tzedek and shalom will kiss each other.
12 Emes shall titzmach (sprout forth) out of ha'aretz;
and tzedek shall look down from Shomayim.
13 Yes, Hashem shall give that which is tov;
and Artzeinu (our land) shall yield her yevul (increase, produce).
14 Tzedek shall go before Him;
and shall set us in the Derech of His steps.
