1 Vir die musiekleier. Van die kinders van Korag. 'n Psalm.2 U het, o HERE, 'n welbehae gehad in u land; die lot van Jakob het U verander.3 U het die ongeregtigheid van u volk weggeneem, al hulle sonde bedek. Sela.4 U het al u grimmigheid teruggetrek, U het U van die gloed van u toorn afgewend.5 Herstel ons, o God van ons heil, en maak tot niet u grimmigheid teen ons!6 Sal U vir ewig teen ons toornig wees, u toorn laat duur van geslag tot geslag?7 Sal U ons nie weer lewend maak, sodat u volk in U bly kan wees nie?8 Laat ons u goedertierenheid sien, o HERE, en gee ons u heil!9 Ek wil hoor wat God die HERE spreek. Ja, Hy spreek vrede vir sy volk en vir sy gunsgenote; maar laat hulle nie tot dwaasheid terugkeer nie!10 Gewis, sy heil is naby die wat Hom vrees, sodat heerlikheid in ons land kan woon.11 Goedertierenheid en trou ontmoet mekaar; geregtigheid en vrede kus mekaar.12 Trou spruit uit die aarde en geregtigheid kyk uit die hemel neer.13 Ook gee die HERE die goeie, en ons land lewer sy opbrings. [ (Psalms 85:14) Geregtigheid gaan voor Hom uit, en dit let op die weg van sy voetstappe. ]
1 LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
