< Psalms 95 >
1 O come, let us sing to the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Come ye, make we ful out ioie to the Lord; hertli synge we to God, oure heelthe.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Bifore ocupie we his face in knowleching; and hertli synge we to him in salmes.
3 For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above all gods.
For God is a greet Lord, and a greet king aboue alle goddis; for the Lord schal not putte awei his puple.
4 In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills [is] his also.
For alle the endis of erthe ben in his hond; and the hiynesses of hillis ben hise.
5 The sea [is] his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry [land].
For the see is his, and he made it; and hise hondis formeden the drie lond.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
Come ye, herie we, and falle we doun bifore God, wepe we bifore the Lord that made vs;
7 For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, if ye will hear his voice,
for he is oure Lord God. And we ben the puple of his lesewe; and the scheep of his hond.
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and] as [in] the day of temptation in the wilderness:
If ye han herd his vois to dai; nyle ye make hard youre hertis.
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
As in the terryng to wraththe; bi the dai of temptacioun in desert. Where youre fadris temptiden me; thei preueden and sien my werkis.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with [this] generation, and said, It [is] a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
Fourti yeer I was offendid to this generacioun; and Y seide, Euere thei erren in herte.
11 To whom I swore in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.
And these men knewen not my weies; to whiche Y swoor in myn ire, thei schulen not entre in to my reste.
