1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.
2 \85:1\Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.
3 \85:2\The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah.)
4 \85:3\You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.
5 \85:4\Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.
6 \85:5\Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?
7 \85:6\Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?
8 \85:7\Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.
9 \85:8\I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.
10 \85:9\Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.
11 \85:10\Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.
12 \85:11\Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.
13 \85:12\The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.
14 \85:13\Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.
2 Perdoaste os pecados do teu povo; sim, apagaste-os todos.
3 A tua indignação terminou. Desviaste de nós o ardor da tua ira.
5 Ou ficarás para sempre zangado, até mesmo com as gerações futuras?
6 Dá-nos uma vida nova, para que nos tornemos a alegrar em ti.
7 Mostra-nos o teu amor e a tua bondade, Senhor; concede-nos a tua salvação.
8 Oiço atentamente tudo quanto Deus, o Senhor, diz, porque fala de paz ao seu povo, aos que lhe pertencem, desde que não voltem a pecar.
9 Sem dúvida que a salvação está perto daqueles que o temem; e a nossa terra se encherá da sua glória!
10 A misericórdia e a verdade encontraram-se. A justiça e a paz beijaram-se.
11 A verdade sairá da terra, e a justiça olhará desde os céus.
12 E o Senhor dará as suas bênçãos, ao mesmo tempo que a terra produzirá abundantes colheitas.
13 A justiça irá na sua frente e ele nos fará andar no caminho aberto pelos seus passos!
