Psalms 85

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. LORD, you have been favourable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.

Of the sones of Chore. Lord, thou hast blessid thi lond; thou hast turned awei the caitifte of Jacob.

2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. (Selah)

Thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of thi puple; thou hast hilid alle the synnes of hem.

3 You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.

Thou hast aswagid al thin ire; thou hast turned awei fro the ire of thin indignacioun.

4 Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation towards us to cease.

God, oure helthe, conuerte thou vs; and turne awei thin ire fro vs.

5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?

Whether thou schalt be wrooth to vs withouten ende; ether schalt thou holde forth thin ire fro generacioun in to generacioun?

6 Won’t you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

God, thou conuertid schalt quykene vs; and thi puple schal be glad in thee.

7 Show us your loving kindness, LORD. Grant us your salvation.

Lord, schewe thi merci to vs; and yyue thin helthe to vs.

8 I will hear what God, the LORD, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to folly.

I schal here what the Lord God schal speke in me; for he schal speke pees on his puple. And on hise hooli men; and on hem that ben turned to herte.

9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Netheles his helthe is niy men dredynge him; that glorie dwelle in oure lond.

10 Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Merci and treuthe metten hem silf; riytwisnesse and pees weren kissid.

11 Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.

Treuthe cam forth of erthe; and riytfulnesse bihelde fro heuene.

12 Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

For the Lord schal yyue benignyte; and oure erthe schal yyue his fruyt.

13 Righteousness goes before him, and prepares the way for his steps.

Riytfulnesse schal go bifore him; and schal sette hise steppis in the weie.
