< Psalms 95 >
1 Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation!
Come ye, make we ful out ioie to the Lord; hertli synge we to God, oure heelthe.
2 Let's go before him with thanksgiving! Let's sing loudly to him in celebration!
Bifore ocupie we his face in knowleching; and hertli synge we to him in salmes.
3 For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all gods.
For God is a greet Lord, and a greet king aboue alle goddis; for the Lord schal not putte awei his puple.
4 He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.
For alle the endis of erthe ben in his hond; and the hiynesses of hillis ben hise.
5 The sea is his, because he made it; the dry land, because he formed it.
For the see is his, and he made it; and hise hondis formeden the drie lond.
6 Come, let's enter in and worship, let's kneel before the Lord our Creator.
Come ye, herie we, and falle we doun bifore God, wepe we bifore the Lord that made vs;
7 For he is our God, and we are the people he looks after like a shepherd, the flock he cares for. If you hear his voice calling you today,
for he is oure Lord God. And we ben the puple of his lesewe; and the scheep of his hond.
8 don't have a hard-hearted attitude, “as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert,
If ye han herd his vois to dai; nyle ye make hard youre hertis.
9 when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.
As in the terryng to wraththe; bi the dai of temptacioun in desert. Where youre fadris temptiden me; thei preueden and sien my werkis.
10 For forty years I was disgusted with that generation, and I said, ‘They are people who are unfaithful to me in their minds, and they refuse to accept my ways.’
Fourti yeer I was offendid to this generacioun; and Y seide, Euere thei erren in herte.
11 So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
And these men knewen not my weies; to whiche Y swoor in myn ire, thei schulen not entre in to my reste.
