1 Alleluya. Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; in the counsel and congregacioun of iust men.

Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

2 The werkis of the Lord ben greete; souyt out in to alle hise willis.

Great [are] the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

3 His werk is knoulechyng and grete doyng; and his riytfulnesse dwellith in to the world of world.

Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

4 The Lord merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, hath maad a mynde of hise merueilis;

A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.

5 he hath youe meete to men dredynge hym. He schal be myndeful of his testament in to the world;

Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

6 he schal telle to his puple the vertu of hise werkis.
