< Psalms 92 >
1 A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O you Most High;
`The salm of `song, in the dai of sabath. It is good to knouleche to the Lord; and to synge to thi name, thou hiyeste.
2 to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,
To schewe eerli thi merci; and thi treuthe bi nyyt.
3 on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
In a sautrie of ten cordis; with song in harpe.
4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.
For thou, Lord, hast delitid me in thi makyng; and Y schal make ful out ioye in the werkis of thin hondis.
5 How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep.
Lord, thi werkis ben magnefied greetli; thi thouytis ben maad ful depe.
6 A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
An vnwise man schal not knowe; and a fool schal not vndirstonde these thingis.
7 When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.
Whanne synneris comen forth, as hey; and alle thei apperen, that worchen wickidnesse.
8 But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.
That thei perische in to the world of world; forsothe thou, Lord, art the hiyest, withouten ende. For lo!
9 For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
Lord, thin enemyes, for lo! thin enemyes schulen perische; and alle schulen be scaterid that worchen wickidnesse.
10 But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
And myn horn schal be reisid as an vnicorn; and myn eelde in plenteuouse merci.
11 And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
And myn iye dispiside myn enemyes; and whanne wickid men rysen ayens me, myn eere schal here.
12 The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
A iust man schal floure as a palm tree; he schal be multiplied as a cedre of Liban.
13 They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Men plauntid in the hous of the Lord; schulen floure in the porchis of the hous of oure God.
14 Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
Yit thei schulen be multiplied in plenteuouse elde; and thei schulen be suffryng wel.
15 that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
That thei telle, that oure Lord God is riytful; and no wickidnesse is in hym.
