Psalms 97

1 THE Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

The Lord hath regned, the erthe make ful out ioye; many ilis be glad.

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

Cloude and derknesse in his cumpas; riytfulnesse and doom is amending of his seete.

3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

Fier schal go bifore him; and schal enflawme hise enemyes in cumpas.

4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

Hise leitis schyneden to the world; the erthe siy, and was moued.

5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Hillis as wax fletiden doun fro the face of the Lord; al erthe fro the face of the Lord.

6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

Heuenes telden his riytfulnesse; and alle puplis sien his glorie.

7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

Alle that worschipen sculptilis be schent, and thei that han glorie in her symelacris; alle ye aungels of the Lord, worschipe him.

8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord.

Sion herde, and was glad, and the douytris of Juda maden ful out ioye; for `thi domes, Lord.

9 For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

For thou, Lord, art the hiyeste on al erthe; thou art greetli enhaunsid ouere alle goddis.

10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Ye that louen the Lord, hate yuel; the Lord kepith the soulis of hise seyntis; he schal delyuer hem fro the hond of the synner.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Liyt is risun to the riytful man; and gladnesse to riytful men of herte.

12 Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Juste men, be ye glad in the Lord; and knouleche ye to the mynde of his halewyng.
