1 Praise ye Yah! I will give thanks unto Yahweh, with a whole heart, in the circle of the upright and the assembly.

Alleluya. Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; in the counsel and congregacioun of iust men.

2 Great are the works of Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.

The werkis of the Lord ben greete; souyt out in to alle hise willis.

3 Honourable and majestic, is his doing, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.

His werk is knoulechyng and grete doyng; and his riytfulnesse dwellith in to the world of world.

4 A memorial, hath he made by his wonders, Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh.

The Lord merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, hath maad a mynde of hise merueilis;

5 Food, hath he given to them who revere him, He will remember, age-abidingly, his covenant.

6 The might of his works, hath he declared to his people, that he may give them the inheritance of the nations.

9 Ransom, hath he sent to his people, He hath commanded, to times age-abiding, his covenant, Holy and reverend, is his Name.

The Lord sente redempcioun to hys puple; he comaundide his testament with outen ende. His name is hooli and dreedful;
