詩篇 147
1 你們要讚美耶和華！ 因歌頌我們的上帝為善為美； 讚美的話是合宜的。
Alleluya. Herie ye the Lord, for the salm is good; heriyng be myrie, and fair to oure God.
2 耶和華建造耶路撒冷， 聚集以色列中被趕散的人。
The Lord schal bilde Jerusalem; and schal gadere togidere the scateryngis of Israel.
3 他醫好傷心的人， 裹好他們的傷處。
Which Lord makith hool men contrit in herte; and byndith togidere the sorewes of hem.
4 他數點星宿的數目， 一一稱它的名。
Which noumbrith the multitude of sterris; and clepith names to alle tho.
5 我們的主為大，最有能力； 他的智慧無法測度。
Oure Lord is greet, and his vertu is greet; and of his wisdom is no noumbre.
6 耶和華扶持謙卑人， 將惡人傾覆於地。
The Lord takith vp mylde men; forsothe he makith low synneris `til to the erthe.
7 你們要以感謝向耶和華歌唱， 用琴向我們的上帝歌頌。
Bifore synge ye to the Lord in knoulechyng; seye ye salm to oure God in an harpe.
8 他用雲遮天，為地降雨， 使草生長在山上。
Which hilith heuene with cloudis; and makith redi reyn to the erthe. Which bryngith forth hei in hillis; and eerbe to the seruice of men.
9 他賜食給走獸 和啼叫的小烏鴉。
Which yyueth mete to her werk beestis; and to the briddys of crowis clepinge hym.
10 他不喜悅馬的力大， 不喜愛人的腿快。
He schal not haue wille in the strengthe of an hors; nether it schal be wel plesaunt to hym in the leggis of a man.
11 耶和華喜愛敬畏他 和盼望他慈愛的人。
It is wel plesaunt to the Lord on men that dreden hym; and in hem that hopen on his mercy.
12 耶路撒冷啊，你要頌讚耶和華！ 錫安哪，你要讚美你的上帝！
Jerusalem, herie thou the Lord; Syon, herie thou thi God.
13 因為他堅固了你的門閂， 賜福給你中間的兒女。
For he hath coumfortid the lockis of thi yatis; he hath blessid thi sones in thee.
14 他使你境內平安， 用上好的麥子使你滿足。
Which hath set thi coostis pees; and fillith thee with the fatnesse of wheete.
15 他發命在地； 他的話頒行最快。
Which sendith out his speche to the erthe; his word renneth swiftli.
16 他降雪如羊毛， 撒霜如爐灰。
Which yyueth snow as wolle; spredith abrood a cloude as aische.
17 他擲下冰雹如碎渣； 他發出寒冷，誰能當得起呢？
He sendith his cristal as mussels; who schal suffre bifore the face of his cooldnesse?
18 他一出令，這些就都消化； 他使風颳起，水便流動。
He schal sende out his word, and schal melte tho; his spirit schal blowe, and watris schulen flowe.
19 他將他的道指示雅各， 將他的律例典章指示以色列。
Which tellith his word to Jacob; and hise riytfulnessis and domes to Israel.
20 別國他都沒有這樣待過； 至於他的典章，他們向來沒有知道。 你們要讚美耶和華！
He dide not so to ech nacioun; and he schewide not hise domes to hem.
