< Psalms 97 >
1 Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
The Lord hath regned, the erthe make ful out ioye; many ilis be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Cloude and derknesse in his cumpas; riytfulnesse and doom is amending of his seete.
3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
Fier schal go bifore him; and schal enflawme hise enemyes in cumpas.
4 His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
Hise leitis schyneden to the world; the erthe siy, and was moued.
5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Hillis as wax fletiden doun fro the face of the Lord; al erthe fro the face of the Lord.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
Heuenes telden his riytfulnesse; and alle puplis sien his glorie.
7 Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
Alle that worschipen sculptilis be schent, and thei that han glorie in her symelacris; alle ye aungels of the Lord, worschipe him.
8 Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, Yahweh.
Sion herde, and was glad, and the douytris of Juda maden ful out ioye; for `thi domes, Lord.
9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
For thou, Lord, art the hiyeste on al erthe; thou art greetli enhaunsid ouere alle goddis.
10 You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
Ye that louen the Lord, hate yuel; the Lord kepith the soulis of hise seyntis; he schal delyuer hem fro the hond of the synner.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Liyt is risun to the riytful man; and gladnesse to riytful men of herte.
12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
Juste men, be ye glad in the Lord; and knouleche ye to the mynde of his halewyng.
