TEHILLIM 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 Selah 4 Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from Thine charon af. 5 Turn us, O Elohei Yisheinu (G-d of our salvation), and put away Thine ka’as (anger) toward us. 6 Wilt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.
