84 ⁽⁰⁾ For the leader. On the gittit. A psalm of the sons of Korach:

^2 (1) How deeply loved are your dwelling-places,
Adonai-Tzva’ot!
^3 (2) My soul yearns, yes, faints with longing
for the courtyards of Adonai;
my heart and body cry for joy
to the living God.

^4 (3) As the sparrow finds herself a home
and the swallow her nest, where she lays her young,
[so my resting-place is] by your altars,
Adonai-Tzva’ot, my king and my God.

^5 (4) How happy are those who live in your house;
they never cease to praise you! (Selah)
^6 (5) How happy the man whose strength is in you,
in whose heart are [pilgrim] highways.

^7 (6) Passing through the [dry] Baka Valley,
they make it a place of springs,
and the early rain clothes it with blessings.
^8 (7) They go from strength to strength
and appear before God in Tziyon.

^9 (8) Adonai, God of armies, hear my prayer;
listen, God of Ya‘akov. (Selah)
^10 (9) God, see our shield [the king];
look at the face of your anointed.
^11 (10) Better a day in your courtyards
than a thousand [days elsewhere].
Better just standing at the door of my God’s house
than living in the tents of the wicked.

^12 (11) For Adonai, God, is a sun and a shield;
Adonai bestows favor and honor;
he will not withhold anything good
from those whose lives are pure.

^13 (12) Adonai-Tzva’ot,
how happy is anyone who trusts in you!

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^4 (3) withdrawn all your wrath,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.
