Psalms 97

1 For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.

The Lord hath regned, the erthe make ful out ioye; many ilis be glad.

2 Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgement are the establishment of his throne.

Cloude and derknesse in his cumpas; riytfulnesse and doom is amending of his seete.

3 Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.

Fier schal go bifore him; and schal enflawme hise enemyes in cumpas.

4 His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.

Hise leitis schyneden to the world; the erthe siy, and was moued.

5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Hillis as wax fletiden doun fro the face of the Lord; al erthe fro the face of the Lord.

6 The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.

Heuenes telden his riytfulnesse; and alle puplis sien his glorie.

7 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all you his angels.

Alle that worschipen sculptilis be schent, and thei that han glorie in her symelacris; alle ye aungels of the Lord, worschipe him.

8 Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgements, O Lord.

Sion herde, and was glad, and the douytris of Juda maden ful out ioye; for `thi domes, Lord.

9 For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods.

For thou, Lord, art the hiyeste on al erthe; thou art greetli enhaunsid ouere alle goddis.

10 You that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.

Ye that louen the Lord, hate yuel; the Lord kepith the soulis of hise seyntis; he schal delyuer hem fro the hond of the synner.

11 Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Liyt is risun to the riytful man; and gladnesse to riytful men of herte.

12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.

Juste men, be ye glad in the Lord; and knouleche ye to the mynde of his halewyng.
