< Psalms 146 >
1 Alleluya.
2 Mi soule, herie thou the Lord; Y schal herie the Lord in my lijf, Y schal synge to my God as longe as Y schal be. Nile ye triste in princis;
3 nether in the sones of men, in whiche is noon helthe.
4 The spirit of hym schal go out, and he schal turne ayen in to his erthe; in that dai alle the thouytis of hem schulen perische.
5 He is blessid, of whom the God of Jacob is his helpere, his hope is in his Lord God, that made heuene and erthe;
6 the see, and alle thingis that ben in tho.
7 Which kepith treuthe in to the world, makith dom to hem that suffren wrong; yyueth mete to hem that ben hungri. The Lord vnbyndith feterid men;
8 the Lord liytneth blynde men. The Lord reisith men hurtlid doun; the Lord loueth iust men.
9 The Lord kepith comelyngis, he schal take vp a modirles child, and widewe; and he schal distrie the weies of synners.
10 The Lord schal regne in to the worldis; Syon, thi God schal regne in generacioun and in to generacioun.
