< Psalms 146 >
1 Hallelujah. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Alleluya.
2 I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises unto my God while I have my being.
Mi soule, herie thou the Lord; Y schal herie the Lord in my lijf, Y schal synge to my God as longe as Y schal be. Nile ye triste in princis;
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
nether in the sones of men, in whiche is noon helthe.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his dust; in that very day his thoughts perish.
The spirit of hym schal go out, and he schal turne ayen in to his erthe; in that dai alle the thouytis of hem schulen perische.
5 Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
He is blessid, of whom the God of Jacob is his helpere, his hope is in his Lord God, that made heuene and erthe;
6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; who keepeth truth for ever;
the see, and alle thingis that ben in tho.
7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed; who giveth bread to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners;
Which kepith treuthe in to the world, makith dom to hem that suffren wrong; yyueth mete to hem that ben hungri. The Lord vnbyndith feterid men;
8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; the LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; the LORD loveth the righteous;
the Lord liytneth blynde men. The Lord reisith men hurtlid doun; the Lord loueth iust men.
9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; He upholdeth the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked He maketh crooked.
The Lord kepith comelyngis, he schal take vp a modirles child, and widewe; and he schal distrie the weies of synners.
10 The LORD will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
The Lord schal regne in to the worldis; Syon, thi God schal regne in generacioun and in to generacioun.
