85:1   (A psalm by the people of Korah for the music leader.) Our LORD, you have blessed your land and made all go well for Jacob's descendants.

85:2   You have forgiven the sin and taken away the guilt of your people.

85:3   Your fierce anger is no longer aimed at us.

85:4   Our LORD and our God, you save us! Please bring us back home and don't be angry.

85:5   Will you always be angry with us and our families?

85:6   Won't you give us fresh life and let your people be glad because of you?

85:7   Show us your love and save us!

85:8   I will listen to you, LORD God, because you promise peace to those who are faithful and no longer foolish.

85:9   You are ready to rescue everyone who worships you, so that you will live with us in all of your glory.

85:10   Love and loyalty will come together; goodness and peace will unite.

85:11   Loyalty will sprout from the ground; justice will look down from the sky above.

85:12   Our LORD, you will bless us; our land will produce wonderful crops.

85:13   Justice will march in front, making a path for you to follow.
