Psalms 85
Below each verse in the original comes an approximate reading, in italics, for anyone who wants to pronounce the text aloud. It is not academic transliteration: it does not mark stress or settle the cases that depend on grammatical analysis, and the four-letter Name is read “Yahweh”, by the founder’s decision — the Hebrew pointing instructs saying “Adonai”, and Portuguese Bibles render it “SENHOR”.
The numbering differs in this chapter. The original has a different number of verses from the Portuguese — this happens in 134 of the 1,189 chapters, mostly in the Psalms, because the Hebrew superscription (“A psalm of David”) is counted as verse 1. That is why the two texts appear separately, each with its own numbering, instead of paired: pairing here would put a verse next to the wrong one.
1Salmo para o regente, dos filhos de Coré: Foste favorável, ó SENHOR, à tua terra; restauraste Jacó de seu infortúnio.
2Perdoaste a perversidade de teu povo; encobriste todos os seus pecados. (Selá)
3Removeste toda a tua indignação; do ardor de tua ira te desviaste.
4Restaura-nos, ó Deus de nossa salvação; e cessa tua ira de sobre nós.
5Acaso estarás irado contra nós para sempre? Estenderás a tua ira de geração em geração?
6Não voltará a dar-nos vida, para que o teu povo se alegre em ti?
7Mostra-nos tua bondade, SENHOR, e dá para nós tua salvação.
8Escutarei o que o Deus, o SENHOR, falar, pois ele falará de paz ao seu povo, e aos seus santos, contanto que não voltem à loucura.
9Certamente sua salvação está perto daqueles que o temem, para que a glória habite em nossa terra.
10A bondade e a verdade se encontrarão; a justiça e a paz se beijarão.
11A verdade brotará da terra, e a justiça olhará desde os céus.
12E o SENHOR também dará o bem; e a nossa terra dará o seu fruto.
13A justiça irá adiante dele, e ele nos porá no caminho de seus passos.
