Psalms 66

1 To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm. Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:

To the victorie, the song of salm.

2 Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;

Al the erthe, make ye ioie hertli to God, seie ye salm to his name; yyue ye glorie to his heriyng.

3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.

Seie ye to God, Lord, thi werkis ben dredeful; in the multitude of thi vertu thin enemyes schulen lie to thee.

4 All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. (Selah)

God, al the erthe worschipe thee, and synge to thee; seie it salm to thi name.

5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in [his] doings toward the children of men.

Come ye and se ye the werkis of God; ferdful in counseils on the sones of men.

6 He turned the sea into dry [land]; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

Which turnede the see in to drie lond; in the flood thei schulen passe with foot, there we schulen be glad in hym.

7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

Which is Lord in his vertu withouten ende, hise iyen biholden on folkis; thei that maken scharp be not enhaunsid in hem silf.

8 Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

Ye hethen men, blesse oure God; and make ye herd the vois of his preising.

9 Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

That hath set my soule to lijf, and yaf not my feet in to stiryng.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

For thou, God, hast preued vs; thou hast examyned vs bi fier, as siluer is examyned.

11 Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;

Thou leddist vs in to a snare, thou puttidist tribulaciouns in oure bak;

12 Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

thou settidist men on oure heedis. We passiden bi fier and water; and thou leddist vs out in to refreschyng.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,

I schal entre in to thin hous in brent sacrifices; Y schal yelde to thee my vowis,

14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

which my lippis spaken distinctly. And my mouth spake in my tribulacioun;

15 I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)

Y shal offre to thee brent sacrificis ful of merowy, with the brennyng of rammes; Y schal offre to thee oxis with buckis of geet.

16 Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

Alle ye that dreden God, come and here, and Y schal telle; hou grete thingis he hath do to my soule.

17 I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

I criede to hym with my mouth; and Y ioyede fulli vndir my tunge.

18 Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.

If Y bihelde wickidnesse in myn herte; the Lord schal not here.

19 But God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Therfor God herde; and perseyuede the vois of my bisechyng.

20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!

Blessid be God; that remeued not my preyer, and `took not awei his merci fro me.
