¹Lord, you have shown your kindness to your land; you have restored Jacob's prosperity.[#85:1. From the context is appears this psalm was written after the Babylonian captivity.]

²You took away your people's guilt; you forgave all their sins. Selah.

³You took back your fury; you turned away from your fierce anger.

⁴Bring us back to you, God of our salvation! Take away your anger towards us.

⁵Are you going to be furious with us forever? Will you stay angry with us for all future generations?

⁶Won't you restore our lives so your people can find happiness in you?

⁷Show us your trustworthy love, Lord! Give us your salvation!

⁸Let me hear what God has to say. God speaks peace to his people, to those who trust in him. But they must not return to their foolish ways.

⁹Truly God's salvation is with those who do as he says. His glorious presence will live with us in our land.

¹⁰Trustworthiness and faithful love join together; goodness and peace have kissed each other.

¹¹What is true grows up from the earth; what is right looks down from heaven.

¹²The Lord will certainly give us all that is good, and our land will produce fine crops.

¹³Truth and right go ahead of him to prepare a path for him to walk on.
