Psalms 85:11-12

85:11 Faithfulness grows from the ground,

and deliverance looks down from the sky. ¹ 

85:12 Yes, the Lord will bestow his good blessings, ² 

and our land will yield ³  its crops.

[85:11]  ¹ sn The psalmist already sees undeniable signs of God’s faithfulness and expects deliverance to arrive soon.

[85:12]  ² tn Heb “what is good.”

[85:12]  ³ tn Both “bestow” and “yield” translate the same Hebrew verb (נָתַן, natan). The repetition of the word emphasizes that agricultural prosperity is the direct result of divine blessing.
