Psalms 85
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Lord, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought againe the captiuitie of Iaakob.
Of the sones of Chore. Lord, thou hast blessid thi lond; thou hast turned awei the caitifte of Jacob.
2 Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, and couered all their sinnes. (Selah)
Thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of thi puple; thou hast hilid alle the synnes of hem.
3 Thou hast withdrawen all thine anger, and hast turned backe from the fiercenes of thy wrath.
Thou hast aswagid al thin ire; thou hast turned awei fro the ire of thin indignacioun.
4 Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs.
God, oure helthe, conuerte thou vs; and turne awei thin ire fro vs.
5 Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? and wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?
Whether thou schalt be wrooth to vs withouten ende; ether schalt thou holde forth thin ire fro generacioun in to generacioun?
6 Wilt thou not turne againe and quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee?
God, thou conuertid schalt quykene vs; and thi puple schal be glad in thee.
7 Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord, and graunt vs thy saluation.
Lord, schewe thi merci to vs; and yyue thin helthe to vs.
8 I will hearken what the Lord God will say: for he will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saintes, that they turne not againe to follie.
I schal here what the Lord God schal speke in me; for he schal speke pees on his puple. And on hise hooli men; and on hem that ben turned to herte.
9 Surely his saluation is neere to them that feare him, that glory may dwell in our land.
Netheles his helthe is niy men dredynge him; that glorie dwelle in oure lond.
10 Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteousnes and peace shall kisse one another.
Merci and treuthe metten hem silf; riytwisnesse and pees weren kissid.
11 Trueth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousnes shall looke downe from heauen.
Treuthe cam forth of erthe; and riytfulnesse bihelde fro heuene.
12 Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our land shall giue her increase.
For the Lord schal yyue benignyte; and oure erthe schal yyue his fruyt.
13 Righteousnesse shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.
Riytfulnesse schal go bifore him; and schal sette hise steppis in the weie.
