Psalms 108

1 The song of `the salm of Dauid. Min herte is redi, God, myn herte is redi; Y schal singe, and Y schal seie salm in my glorie.

Song of a Psalm by David. O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.

2 My glorie, ryse thou vp, sautrie and harp, rise thou vp; Y schal rise vp eerli.

Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.

3 Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee among puplis; and Y schal seie salm to thee among naciouns.

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, amongst the people; I will sing praise to you amongst the Gentiles.

4 For whi, God, thi merci is greet on heuenes; and thi treuthe is til to the cloudis.

For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.

5 God, be thou enhaunsid aboue heuenes; and thi glorie ouer al erthe.

Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.

6 That thi derlingis be delyuerid, make thou saaf with thi riythond, and here me; God spak in his hooli.

That your beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;

7 I schal make ful out ioye, and Y schal departe Siccimam; and Y schal mete the grete valei of tabernaclis.

I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.

8 Galaad is myn, and Manasses is myn; and Effraym is the vptaking of myn heed. Juda is my king; Moab is the caudron of myn hope.

Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;

9 In to Ydume Y schal stretche forth my scho; aliens ben maad frendis to me.

Moab is the cauldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.

10 Who schal lede me forth in to a stronge citee; who schal lede me forth til in to Idume?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?

11 Whether not thou, God, that hast put vs awei; and, God, schalt thou not go out in oure vertues?

Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12 Yyue thou help to vs of tribulacioun; for the heelthe of man is veyn.

Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.

13 We schulen make vertu in God; and he schal bringe oure enemyes to nouyt.

Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.
