< Psalms 103 >
1 “Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, his holy name.
`Of Dauid. Mi soule, blesse thou the Lord; and alle thingis that ben with ynne me, blesse his hooli name.
2 Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and forget not all his benefits:
Mi soule, blesse thou the Lord; and nyle thou foryete alle the yeldyngis of him.
3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Which doith merci to alle thi wickidnessis; which heelith alle thi sijknessis.
4 Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;
Which ayenbieth thi lijf fro deth; which corowneth thee in merci and merciful doyngis.
5 Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].
Which fillith thi desijr in goodis; thi yongthe schal be renulid as the yongthe of an egle.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice for all that are oppressed.
The Lord doynge mercies; and doom to alle men suffringe wrong.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, unto the children of Israel his acts.
He made hise weies knowun to Moises; hise willis to the sones of Israel.
8 Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.
The Lord is merciful doer, and merciful in wille; longe abidinge, and myche merciful.
9 Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.
He schal not be wrooth with outen ende; and he schal not thretne with outen ende.
10 Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.
He dide not to vs aftir oure synnes; nether he yeldide to vs aftir oure wickidnessis.
11 For as high as heaven is above the earth, so mighty is his kindness toward those that fear him.
For bi the hiynesse of heuene fro erthe; he made strong his merci on men dredynge hym.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed from us our transgressions.
As myche as the eest is fer fro the west; he made fer oure wickidnessis fro vs.
13 As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those that fear him.
As a fadir hath merci on sones, the Lord hadde merci on men dredynge him;
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
for he knewe oure makyng.
15 As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.
He bithouyte that we ben dust, a man is as hey; his dai schal flowre out so as a flour of the feeld.
16 When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize it no more.
For the spirit schal passe in hym, and schal not abide; and schal no more knowe his place.
17 But the kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
But the merci of the Lord is fro with out bigynnyng, and til in to with outen ende; on men dredinge hym. And his riytfulnesse is in to the sones of sones;
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to execute them.
to hem that kepen his testament. And ben myndeful of hise comaundementis; to do tho.
19 The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
The Lord hath maad redi his seete in heuene; and his rewme schal be lord of alle.
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Aungels of the Lord, blesse ye the Lord; ye myyti in vertu, doynge his word, to here the vois of hise wordis.
21 Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute his will.
Alle vertues of the Lord, blesse ye the Lord; ye mynystris of hym that doen his wille.
22 Bless the Lord, all his works, in all the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.
Alle werkis of the Lord, blesse ye the Lord, in ech place of his lordschipe; my soule, blesse thou the Lord.
