Psalms 50
1 A Psalm of Asaph. God, God, the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
The salm of Asaph. God, the Lord of goddis, spak; and clepide the erthe,
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
fro the risynge of the sunne til to the goyng doun. The schap of his fairnesse fro Syon,
3 Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence; a fire devoureth before Him, and round about Him it stormeth mightily.
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 He calleth to the heavens above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people:
He clepide heuene aboue; and the erthe, to deme his puple.
5 'Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.'
Gadere ye to hym hise seyntis; that ordeynen his testament aboue sacrifices.
6 And the heavens declare His righteousness; for God, He is judge. (Selah)
`And heuenes schulen schewe his riytfulnesse; for God is the iuge.
7 'Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: God, thy God, am I.
Mi puple, here thou, and Y schal speke to Israel; and Y schal witnesse to thee, Y am God, thi God.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before Me.
I schal not repreue thee in thi sacrifices; and thi brent sacrifices ben euere bifor me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
I schal not take calues of thin hows; nethir geet buckis of thi flockis.
10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
For alle the wyelde beestis of wodis ben myne; werk beestis, and oxis in hillis.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
I haue knowe alle the volatils of heuene; and the fairnesse of the feeld is with me.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.
If Y schal be hungry, Y schal not seie to thee; for the world and the fulnesse therof is myn.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Whether Y schal eete the fleischis of boolis? ethir schal Y drynke the blood of geet buckis?
14 Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High;
Offre thou to God the sacrifice of heriyng; and yelde thin avowis to the hiyeste God.
15 And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.'
And inwardli clepe thou me in the dai of tribulacioun; and Y schal delyuere thee, and thou schalt onoure me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, and that thou hast taken My covenant 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 instruction, and castest My words behind thee.
Sotheli thou hatidist lore; and hast cast awey my wordis bihynde.
18 When thou sawest a thief, thou hadst company with him, and with adulterers was thy portion.
If thou siyest a theef, thou `hast runne with hym; and thou settidist thi part with avowtreris.
19 Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Thi mouth was plenteuouse of malice; and thi tunge medlide togidere giles.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
Thou sittynge spakist ayens thi brother, and thou settidist sclaundir ayens the sone of thi modir;
21 These things hast thou done, and should I have kept silence? Thou hadst thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set the cause before thine eyes.
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 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
Ye that foryeten God, vndurstonde these thingis; lest sum tyme he rauysche, and noon be that schal delyuere.
23 Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving honoureth Me; and to him that ordereth his way aright will I show the salvation 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.
