Psalms 50
1 A Psalme of Asaph. The God of Gods, euen the Lord hath spoken and called the earth from the rising vp of the sunne vnto the going downe thereof.
The salm of Asaph. God, the Lord of goddis, spak; and clepide the erthe,
2 Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined.
fro the risynge of the sunne til to the goyng doun. The schap of his fairnesse fro Syon,
3 Our God shall come and shall not keepe silence: a fire shall deuoure before him, and a mightie tempest shall be mooued round about him.
God schal come opynli; oure God, and he schal not be stille. Fier schal brenne an hiye in his siyt; and a strong tempest in his cumpas.
4 Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.
He clepide heuene aboue; and the erthe, to deme his puple.
5 Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice.
Gadere ye to hym hise seyntis; that ordeynen his testament aboue sacrifices.
6 And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. (Selah)
`And heuenes schulen schewe his riytfulnesse; for God is the iuge.
7 Heare, O my people, and I wil speake: heare, O Israel, and I wil testifie vnto thee: for I am God, euen thy God.
Mi puple, here thou, and Y schal speke to Israel; and Y schal witnesse to thee, Y am God, thi God.
8 I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.
I schal not repreue thee in thi sacrifices; and thi brent sacrifices ben euere bifor me.
9 I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes.
I schal not take calues of thin hows; nethir geet buckis of thi flockis.
10 For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.
For alle the wyelde beestis of wodis ben myne; werk beestis, and oxis in hillis.
11 I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine.
I haue knowe alle the volatils of heuene; and the fairnesse of the feeld is with me.
12 If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is.
If Y schal be hungry, Y schal not seie to thee; for the world and the fulnesse therof is myn.
13 Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates?
Whether Y schal eete the fleischis of boolis? ethir schal Y drynke the blood of geet buckis?
14 Offer vnto God praise, and pay thy vowes vnto the most High,
Offre thou to God the sacrifice of heriyng; and yelde thin avowis to the hiyeste God.
15 And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me.
And inwardli clepe thou me in the dai of tribulacioun; and Y schal delyuere thee, and thou schalt onoure me.
16 But vnto the wicked said God, What hast thou to doe to declare mine ordinances, that thou shouldest take my couenant in thy mouth,
But God seide to the synnere, Whi tellist thou out my riytfulnessis; and takist my testament bi thi mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee?
Sotheli thou hatidist lore; and hast cast awey my wordis bihynde.
18 For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers.
If thou siyest a theef, thou `hast runne with hym; and thou settidist thi part with avowtreris.
19 Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit.
Thi mouth was plenteuouse of malice; and thi tunge medlide togidere giles.
20 Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne.
Thou sittynge spakist ayens thi brother, and thou settidist sclaundir ayens the sone of thi modir;
21 These things hast thou done, and I held my tongue: therefore thou thoughtest that I was like thee: but I will reproue thee, and set them in order before thee.
thou didist these thingis, and Y was stille. Thou gessidist wickidli, that Y schal be lijk thee; Y schal repreue thee, and Y schal sette ayens thi face.
22 Oh cosider this, ye that forget God, least I teare you in pieces, and there be none that can deliuer you.
Ye that foryeten God, vndurstonde these thingis; lest sum tyme he rauysche, and noon be that schal delyuere.
23 He that offereth praise, shall glorifie mee: and to him, that disposeth his way aright, will I shew the saluation of God.
The sacrifice of heriyng schal onoure me; and there is the weie, where ynne Y schal schewe to hym the helthe of God.
