A Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician. |
Psalm 85:1-13 Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
Lord, You have [favored] Your land & You have brought back [those from] the captivity of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] [Jeremiah 16:11-15 Then, you shall say to them, Because your [forefathers] have [abandoned] Me, says the Lord & have walked after other gods & have served them & worshiped them & have [forgotten] Me & haven't kept My Law. |
And you have done worse than your [forefathers;] for [look,] every one [of] you walk after the imagination of his evil heart, [so] they may not [listen] to Me. Therefore, I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you & your [forefathers don’t] know. |
And you shall serve other gods there day & night; where I will not [show] you favor. Therefore, [watch,] the days come, says the Lord, that it shall no [longer] be said, The Lord lives, [who] brought up the children [people] of Israel out of the land of Egypt. |
But, the Lord lives, [Who] brought up the children [people] of Israel from the land of the north & from the lands [where] He had driven them. And I will bring them [back] again into their land that I gave to their [forefathers.] |
You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah. [Psalm 32:1-2 Blessed is he, whose transgression is forgiven & whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord [doesn't attribute] iniquity & in whose spirit is no [deceit.] |
You have taken away all Your [fury.] You have turned Yourself from the fierceness of Your anger. [Return to] us, O God of our Salvation & cause Your anger toward us to [stop.] Will You be angry with us forever? |
Will You [stretch] out Your anger to all generations? Will You not revive us again: [so] Your people may rejoice in You? [Habakkuk 3:2 O Lord, I have heard Your speech & was afraid. O Lord, [restore] Your work in the midst of the years. Make known, in the midst of the years, [When] in [anger,] remember mercy.] |
[Show] us Your mercy, O Lord & grant us Your Salvation. I will hear what the Lord God will [say:] for He will speak [peacefully] to His people & to His saints. But let them not [return] again to [what is] [foolishness.] Surely His Salvation is [near those who] fear [respect] Him; [so] that glory may dwell in our land. |
Mercy & Truth [meet] together & righteousness & peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth & righteousness shall look down from heaven. [John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I Am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.] |
[Yes,] the Lord shall give [what] is good & our land shall yield [its] increase [of produce.] Righteousness shall go before Him & shall [put] us in the [path] of His steps. |
[James 1:17 Every good gift & every perfect gift is from above & comes down from the Father of Lights, with Whom is no [variation] & neither shadow of [changing.] |
