Psalms 66

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melodious Song. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth;

To the victorie, the song of salm.

2 Praise ye in song the glory of his Name, Celebrate the glory of his praise:

Al the erthe, make ye ioie hertli to God, seie ye salm to his name; yyue ye glorie to his heriyng.

3 Say unto God—How fearful in thy doings, Through the abounding of thy power, shall thy foes come cringing unto thee;

Seie ye to God, Lord, thi werkis ben dredeful; in the multitude of thi vertu thin enemyes schulen lie to thee.

4 All the earth, shall bow themselves down to thee, And sing praises unto thee, Shall praise in song thy Name. (Selah)

God, al the erthe worschipe thee, and synge to thee; seie it salm to thi name.

5 Come and see the doings of God, —Fearful in deed toward the sons of men:

Come ye and se ye the werkis of God; ferdful in counseils on the sones of men.

6 He turned the sea into dry land, Through the stream, crossed they over on foot, There did we rejoice in him:

Which turnede the see in to drie lond; in the flood thei schulen passe with foot, there we schulen be glad in hym.

7 Who ruleth, in his might, unto times age abiding, His eyes, over the nations, keep watch, The rebellious, let them not exalt themselves. (Selah)

Which is Lord in his vertu withouten ende, hise iyen biholden on folkis; thei that maken scharp be not enhaunsid in hem silf.

8 Bless our God, O ye peoples, And cause to be heard, the sound of his praise; —

Ye hethen men, blesse oure God; and make ye herd the vois of his preising.

9 Who hath set our soul among the living, And hath not suffered, our foot, to slip.

That hath set my soule to lijf, and yaf not my feet in to stiryng.

10 For thou didst prove us, O God, Thou didst refine us, according to the refining of silver:

For thou, God, hast preued vs; thou hast examyned vs bi fier, as siluer is examyned.

11 Thou didst bring us into the hunter’s net, Thou didst lay a load upon our loins;

Thou leddist vs in to a snare, thou puttidist tribulaciouns in oure bak;

12 Thou didst let men ride at our head; We went into fire and into water, But thou didst bring us forth into freedom.

thou settidist men on oure heedis. We passiden bi fier and water; and thou leddist vs out in to refreschyng.

13 I will enter thy house with ascending-sacrifices, I will pay unto thee my vows,

I schal entre in to thin hous in brent sacrifices; Y schal yelde to thee my vowis,

14 Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, in my distress.

which my lippis spaken distinctly. And my mouth spake in my tribulacioun;

15 Ascending-sacrifices of fatlings, will I cause to ascend unto thee, With the perfume of rams, I will offer bulls, with he-goats. (Selah)

Y shal offre to thee brent sacrificis ful of merowy, with the brennyng of rammes; Y schal offre to thee oxis with buckis of geet.

16 Come! hearken—that I may recount, all ye reverers of God, What he hath done for my soul: —

Alle ye that dreden God, come and here, and Y schal telle; hou grete thingis he hath do to my soule.

17 Unto him—with my mouth, did I cry, And high praise was under my tongue.

I criede to hym with my mouth; and Y ioyede fulli vndir my tunge.

18 If, iniquity, I had cared for in my heart, My Lord, had not heard me!

If Y bihelde wickidnesse in myn herte; the Lord schal not here.

19 But in truth, God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Therfor God herde; and perseyuede the vois of my bisechyng.

20 Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his own lovingkindness from me.

Blessid be God; that remeued not my preyer, and `took not awei his merci fro me.
