Psalm 84 (Septuagint) = Psalm 85 (KJV)
Introduction
This entry meets the strict three-criteria standard of the Theosis Library, with the manuscript text drawn directly from the same source as the scan:
- Manuscript scan: The actual folio of Codex Sinaiticus containing this passage, from the Codex Sinaiticus Project (codexsinaiticus.org). Library folio reference: 111.
- Original text: The verbatim transcription of the Sinaiticus manuscript from the Codex Sinaiticus Project, preserving uncial forms, lunate sigma, nomina sacra (e.g. ⟨θϲ⟩ = θεός), and scribal marks. Nomina sacra are shown in angle brackets to indicate the manuscript's sacred-name abbreviations.
- English translation: The King James Version (1611), retrieved verbatim from the public-domain bible-api.com endpoint.
Numbering: Codex Sinaiticus follows the Septuagint Psalter, in which this is Psalm 84. In the Hebrew and King James numbering the same psalm is Psalm 85. Greek verse numbers follow the Septuagint, which counts the superscription as verse 1; English verse numbers follow the KJV, so they run 1 behind the Greek. The Greek and English in each section are the same words of the same psalm.

1ειϲ το τελοϲ τοιϲ υιοιϲ κορε ψαλμοϲ 2ευδοκηϲαϲ κε την γην ϲου απεϲτρεψαϲ την αιχμαλωϲιαν ϊακωβ 3αφηκαϲ ταϲ ανομιαϲ τω λαω ϲου εκαλυψαϲ παϲαϲ ταϲ αμαρτιαϲ αυτω διαψαλμα 4κατεπαυϲαϲ παϲαν την οργην ϲου απεϲτρεψαϲ απο οργηϲ θυμου ϲου 5επιϲτρεψον ημαϲ ο θϲ των ϲωτηριων ημων και αποϲτρεψον τον θυμον ϲου αφ ημων
1LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. 2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. 3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. 4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
6μη ειϲ τον αιωνα οργιϲθηϲη ημιν η διατενειϲ την οργην ϲου απο γενεαν ειϲ γενεαν 7ο θϲ ϲυ επιϲτρεψαϲ ζωωϲειϲ ημαϲ και ο λαοϲ ϲου ευφρανθηϲεται επι ϲοι 8δειξον ημιν κε το ελεοϲ ϲου και το ϲωτηριον ϲου δωηϲ ημιν 9ακουϲομαι τι λαληϲει εν εμοι κϲ ο θϲ οτι λαληϲει ειρηνην επι τον λαον αυτου και επι τουϲ οϲιουϲ αυτου τουϲ επιϲτρεφονταϲ προϲ αυτον καρδιαν 10πλην εγγυϲ των φοβουμενων αυτον το ϲωτηριον αυτου του καταϲκηνωϲαι δοξαν εν τη γη ημω
5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? 6Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? 7Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. 8I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
11ελεοϲ και αληθεια ϲυνηντηϲαν δικαιοϲυνη και ειρηνη κατεφιληϲα 12αληθεια εκ τηϲ γηϲ ανετειλεν και δικαιοϲυνη εκ του ουρανου διεκυψεν 13και γαρ ο κϲ δωϲει χρηϲτοτητα και η γη ημων δωϲει τον καρπο αυτηϲ 14δικαιοϲυνη εναντιον αυτου πορευϲεται και θηϲει ειϲ οδον τα διαβηματα αυτου
10Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 11Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 12Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. 13Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
