为国家求福
可拉后裔的诗，交给乐长。
85 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。

A Prayer for the Nation
For the director of music. A psalm of the sons of Korah [C descendants of Kohath, son of Levi, who served as temple musicians; 1 Chr. 6:22].
85 Lord, you ·have been kind to [delight in] your land;
you ·brought back [restored the fortunes of; C perhaps at the end of the exile] the people of Jacob [C another name for Israel].
2 You forgave the guilt of the people
and covered all their sins. ·
3 You ·stopped [drew back from] all your anger;
you turned back from your ·strong [burning] anger.
4 God our Savior, ·bring us back again [restore us again].
Stop being angry with us.
5 Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you ·stay angry [draw out your anger against us] from now on?
6 Won’t you give us life again?
Your people would rejoice in you.
7 Lord, show us your ·love [loyalty],
and ·save us [L give to us your salvation/victory].
8 I will listen to what God the Lord says.
He has ·ordered [spoken; promised] ·peace [prosperity] for ·those who worship him [L his people, his saints/loyal ones].
Don’t let them go back to foolishness.
9 ·God will soon save those who respect him [L His salvation/victory is near to those who fear him; Prov. 1:7],
and his glory will ·be seen [L dwell] in our land.
10 ·Love [Loyalty] and ·truth [faithfulness] ·belong to God’s people [L meet];
·goodness [righteousness] and ·peace [prosperity] ·will be theirs [L kiss].
11 ·On earth people will be loyal to God [Faithfulness sprouts/blooms from the earth/land],
and ·God’s goodness [righteousness] will ·shine [look] down from heaven.
12 The Lord will give his ·goodness [or good gifts],
and the land will give its crops.
13 ·Goodness [Righteousness] will go before ·God [L him]
and prepare the way for ·him [L his steps].
