Psalms 76
1 For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.
To the victorie in orguns, `the salm of the song of Asaph. God is knowun in Judee; his name is greet in Israel.
2 And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
And his place is maad in pees; and his dwellyng is in Syon.
3 There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)
Ther he brak poweris; bowe, scheeld, swerd, and batel.
4 You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.
And thou, God, liytnest wondirfuli fro euerlastynge hillis;
5 All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.
alle vnwise men of herte weren troblid. Thei slepten her sleep; and alle men founden no thing of richessis in her hondis.
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.
Thei that stieden on horsis; slepten for thi blamyng, thou God of Jacob.
7 You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?
Thou art feerful, and who schal ayenstonde thee? fro that tyme thin ire.
8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
Fro heuene thou madist doom herd; the erthe tremblide, and restide.
9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)
Whanne God roos vp in to doom; to make saaf al the mylde men of erthe.
10 For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.
For the thouyt of man schal knouleche to thee; and the relifs of thouyt schulen make a feeste dai to thee.
11 Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,
Make ye a vow, and yelde ye to youre Lord God; alle that bringen yiftis in the cumpas of it.
12 and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
To God ferdful, and to him that takith awei the spirit of prynces; to the ferdful at the kyngis of erthe.
