诗篇 85
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
祈求 神重新恩待他的子民
可拉子孫的詩，交給詩班長。
85 耶和華啊！你恩待了你的地，
恢復了雅各的產業（“恢復了雅各的產業”或譯：“領回了雅各被擄的”）。
2 你赦免了你子民的罪孽，
遮蓋了他們的一切罪惡。（細拉）
3 你收回了你的一切忿怒，
使你猛烈的怒氣轉消。
4 拯救我們的 神啊！求你復興我們，
求你止住你向我們所發的忿怒。
5 你要永遠向我們發怒嗎？
你要延長你的怒氣到萬代嗎？
6 你不使我們再活過來，
以致你的子民可以因你歡喜嗎？
7 耶和華啊！求你使我們得見你的慈愛，
又把你的救恩賜給我們。
8 我要聽 神耶和華所要說的話；
因為他應許賜平安給他的子民，給他的聖民；
但願他們不要轉向愚妄。
9 他的救恩的確臨近敬畏他的人，
使他的榮耀住在我們的地上。
10 慈愛和信實彼此相遇，
公義和平安互相親吻。
11 信實從地上生出，
公義從天上俯視。
12 耶和華也必賜下好處，
我們的地要多出土產。
13 公義必行在他面前，
為他的腳步預備道路。
Psalm 85
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 85[a]
Prayer for Divine Favor
1 For the leader. A psalm of the Korahites.
I
2 You once favored, Lord, your land,
restored the captives of Jacob.(A)
3 You forgave the guilt of your people,
pardoned all their sins.
Selah
4 You withdrew all your wrath,
turned back from your burning anger.(B)
II
5 Restore us, God of our salvation;
let go of your displeasure with us.(C)
6 Will you be angry with us forever,
prolong your anger for all generations?(D)
7 Certainly you will again restore our life,
that your people may rejoice in you.
8 Show us, Lord, your mercy;
grant us your salvation.
III
9 [b]I will listen for what God, the Lord, has to say;
surely he will speak of peace
To his people and to his faithful.
May they not turn to foolishness!
10 Near indeed is his salvation for those who fear him;
glory will dwell in our land.
11 [c]Love and truth will meet;
justice and peace will kiss.(E)
12 Truth will spring from the earth;
justice will look down from heaven.(F)
13 Yes, the Lord will grant his bounty;
our land will yield its produce.(G)
14 Justice will march before him,
and make a way for his footsteps.
Footnotes
- Psalm 85 A national lament reminding God of past favors and forgiveness (Ps 85:2–4) and begging for forgiveness and grace now (Ps 85:5–8). A speaker represents the people who wait humbly with open hearts (Ps 85:9–10): God will be active on their behalf (Ps 85:11–13). The situation suggests the conditions of Judea during the early postexilic period, the fifth century B.C.; the thoughts are similar to those of postexilic prophets (Hg 1:5–11; 2:6–9).
- 85:9 The prophet listens to God’s revelation, cf. Hb 2:1.
- 85:11–13 Divine activity is personified as pairs of virtues.
