85 ⁽⁰⁾ For the leader. A psalm of the sons of Korach:

^2 (1) Adonai, you have shown favor to your land;
you have restored the fortunes of Ya‘akov,
^3 (2) taken away the guilt of your people,
pardoned all their sin, (Selah)
^4 (3) withdrawn all your wrath,
turned from your fierce anger.

^5 (4) Restore us, God of our salvation,
renounce your displeasure with us.
^6 (5) Are you to stay angry with us forever?
Will your fury last through all generations?

^7 (6) Won’t you revive us again,
so your people can rejoice in you?
^8 (7) Show us your grace, Adonai;
grant us your salvation.

^9 (8) I am listening. What will God, Adonai, say?
For he will speak peace to his people,
to his holy ones —
but only if they don’t relapse into folly.
^10 (9) His salvation is near for those who fear him,
so that glory will be in our land.
^11 (10) Grace and truth have met together;
justice and peace have kissed each other.
^12 (11) Truth springs up from the earth,
and justice looks down from heaven.
^13 (12) Adonai will also grant prosperity;
our land will yield its harvest.
^14 (13) Justice will walk before him
and make his footsteps a path.
