Psalms 85

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.

Of the sones of Chore. Lord, thou hast blessid thi lond; thou hast turned awei the caitifte of Jacob.

2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. (Selah)

Thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of thi puple; thou hast hilid alle the synnes of hem.

3 Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.

Thou hast aswagid al thin ire; thou hast turned awei fro the ire of thin indignacioun.

4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.

God, oure helthe, conuerte thou vs; and turne awei thin ire fro vs.

5 Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?

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 quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?

God, thou conuertid schalt quykene vs; and thi puple schal be glad in thee.

7 Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us Thy salvation.

Lord, schewe thi merci to vs; and yyue thin helthe to vs.

8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.

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 salvation is nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land.

Netheles his helthe is niy men dredynge him; that glorie dwelle in oure lond.

10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Merci and treuthe metten hem silf; riytwisnesse and pees weren kissid.

11 Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

Treuthe cam forth of erthe; and riytfulnesse bihelde fro heuene.

12 Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.

For the Lord schal yyue benignyte; and oure erthe schal yyue his fruyt.

13 Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.

Riytfulnesse schal go bifore him; and schal sette hise steppis in the weie.
