< Psalms 97 >
1 Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice.
The Lord hath regned, the erthe make ful out ioye; many ilis be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
Cloude and derknesse in his cumpas; riytfulnesse and doom is amending of his seete.
3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.
Fier schal go bifore him; and schal enflawme hise enemyes in cumpas.
4 His lightnings lightened 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 Jehovah, 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 declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.
Heuenes telden his riytfulnesse; and alle puplis sien his glorie.
7 Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods.
Alle that worschipen sculptilis be schent, and thei that han glorie in her symelacris; alle ye aungels of the Lord, worschipe him.
8 Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
Sion herde, and was glad, and the douytris of Juda maden ful out ioye; for `thi domes, Lord.
9 For thou, Jehovah, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
For thou, Lord, art the hiyeste on al erthe; thou art greetli enhaunsid ouere alle goddis.
10 Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
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 sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
Liyt is risun to the riytful man; and gladnesse to riytful men of herte.
12 Rejoice in Jehovah, ye righteous; and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.
Juste men, be ye glad in the Lord; and knouleche ye to the mynde of his halewyng.
