< Psalms 103 >
1 `Of Dauid. Mi soule, blesse thou the Lord; and alle thingis that ben with ynne me, blesse his hooli name.
Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within me, his holy Name;
2 Mi soule, blesse thou the Lord; and nyle thou foryete alle the yeldyngis of him.
Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —
3 Which doith merci to alle thi wickidnessis; which heelith alle thi sijknessis.
Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Which ayenbieth thi lijf fro deth; which corowneth thee in merci and merciful doyngis.
Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:
5 Which fillith thi desijr in goodis; thi yongthe schal be renulid as the yongthe of an egle.
Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.
6 The Lord doynge mercies; and doom to alle men suffringe wrong.
Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.
7 He made hise weies knowun to Moises; hise willis to the sones of Israel.
Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.
8 The Lord is merciful doer, and merciful in wille; longe abidinge, and myche merciful.
Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.
9 He schal not be wrooth with outen ende; and he schal not thretne with outen ende.
Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;
10 He dide not to vs aftir oure synnes; nether he yeldide to vs aftir oure wickidnessis.
Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated us.
11 For bi the hiynesse of heuene fro erthe; he made strong his merci on men dredynge hym.
For, as the heavens are exalted over the earth, His lovingkindness hath prevailed over them who revere him;
12 As myche as the eest is fer fro the west; he made fer oure wickidnessis fro vs.
As far as East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;
13 As a fadir hath merci on sones, the Lord hadde merci on men dredynge him;
Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;
14 for he knewe oure makyng.
For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.
15 He bithouyte that we ben dust, a man is as hey; his dai schal flowre out so as a flour of the feeld.
As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;
16 For the spirit schal passe in hym, and schal not abide; and schal no more knowe his place.
For, a wind, hath passed over it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with it no more.
17 But the merci of the Lord is fro with out bigynnyng, and til in to with outen ende; on men dredinge hym. And his riytfulnesse is in to the sones of sones;
But, the lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to children’s children: —
18 to hem that kepen his testament. And ben myndeful of hise comaundementis; to do tho.
To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.
19 The Lord hath maad redi his seete in heuene; and his rewme schal be lord of alle.
Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.
20 Aungels of the Lord, blesse ye the Lord; ye myyti in vertu, doynge his word, to here the vois of hise wordis.
Bless Yahweh, ye messengers of his, —Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken [again] to the voice of his word;
21 Alle vertues of the Lord, blesse ye the Lord; ye mynystris of hym that doen his wille.
Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;
22 Alle werkis of the Lord, blesse ye the Lord, in ech place of his lordschipe; my soule, blesse thou the Lord.
Bless Yahweh, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion, Bless, O my soul, Yahweh.
