For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O Lord; You restored Jacob from captivity. (MT 85:2; LXX 84:1; LXX 84:2; Rahlfs 84:1; Rahlfs 84:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ לִבְנֵי־קֹ֬רַח מִזְמֽוֹר׃
2You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah (MT 85:3; LXX 84:3; Rahlfs 84:3)
רָצִ֣יתָ יְהוָ֣ה אַרְצֶ֑ךָ שַׁ֝֗בְתָּ שבות יַעֲקֹֽב׃
3You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger. (MT 85:4; LXX 84:4; Rahlfs 84:4)
נָ֭שָׂאתָ עֲוֺ֣ן עַמֶּ֑ךָ כִּסִּ֖יתָ כָל־חַטָּאתָ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃
4Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us. (MT 85:5; LXX 84:5; Rahlfs 84:5)
אָסַ֥פְתָּ כָל־עֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ הֱ֝שִׁיב֗וֹתָ מֵחֲר֥וֹן אַפֶּֽךָ׃
5Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations? (MT 85:6; LXX 84:6; Rahlfs 84:6)
שׁ֭וּבֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֑נוּ וְהָפֵ֖ר כַּֽעַסְךָ֣ עִמָּֽנוּ׃
6Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You? (MT 85:7; LXX 84:7; Rahlfs 84:7)
הַלְעוֹלָ֥ם תֶּֽאֱנַף־בָּ֑נוּ תִּמְשֹׁ֥ךְ אַ֝פְּךָ֗ לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃
7Show us Your loving devotion, O Lord, and grant us Your salvation. (MT 85:8; LXX 84:8; Rahlfs 84:8)
הֲֽלֹא־אַ֭תָּה תָּשׁ֣וּב תְּחַיֵּ֑נוּ וְ֝עַמְּךָ֗ יִשְׂמְחוּ־בָֽךְ׃
8I will listen to what God the Lord will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly. (MT 85:9; LXX 84:9; Rahlfs 84:9)
הַרְאֵ֣נוּ יְהוָ֣ה חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝יֶשְׁעֲךָ֗ תִּתֶּן־לָֽנוּ׃
9Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land. (MT 85:10; LXX 84:10; Rahlfs 84:10)
אֶשְׁמְעָ֗ה מַה־יְדַבֵּר֮ הָאֵ֪ל ׀ יְה֫וָ֥ה כִּ֤י ׀ יְדַבֵּ֬ר שָׁל֗וֹם אֶל־עַמּ֥וֹ וְאֶל־חֲסִידָ֑יו וְֽאַל־יָשׁ֥וּבוּ לְכִסְלָֽה׃
10Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed. (MT 85:11; LXX 84:11; Rahlfs 84:11)
אַ֤ךְ ׀ קָר֣וֹב לִירֵאָ֣יו יִשְׁע֑וֹ לִשְׁכֹּ֖ן כָּב֣וֹד בְּאַרְצֵֽנוּ׃
11Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. (MT 85:12; LXX 84:12; Rahlfs 84:12)
חֶֽסֶד־וֶאֱמֶ֥ת נִפְגָּ֑שׁוּ צֶ֖דֶק וְשָׁל֣וֹם נָשָֽׁקוּ׃
12The Lord will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase. (MT 85:13; LXX 84:13; Rahlfs 84:13)
אֱ֭מֶת מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תִּצְמָ֑ח וְ֝צֶ֗דֶק מִשָּׁמַ֥יִם נִשְׁקָֽף׃
13Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps. (MT 85:14; LXX 84:14; Rahlfs 84:14)
גַּם־יְ֭הוָה יִתֵּ֣ן הַטּ֑וֹב וְ֝אַרְצֵ֗נוּ תִּתֵּ֥ן יְבוּלָֽהּ׃
