Psalms 48

1 The song of salm, of the sones of Chore. The Lord is greet, and worthi to be preisid ful myche; in the citee of oure God, in the hooli hil of hym.

A song; a psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God on his holy mountain.

2 It is foundid in the ful out ioiyng of al erthe; the hil of Syon; the sidis of the north, the citee of the greet kyng.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

3 God schal be knowun in the housis therof; whanne he schal take it.

God has made himself known in her palaces as a refuge.

4 For lo! the kyngis of erthe weren gaderid togidere; thei camen into o place.

For, see, the kings assembled themselves; they passed by together.

5 Thei seynge so wondriden; thei weren disturblid, thei weren mouyd togidere, tremblyng took hem.

They saw it, then they were amazed; they were dismayed, and they hurried away.

6 There sorewis as of a womman trauelynge of child;

Trembling took hold of them there, pain as when a woman is in labor.

7 in a greet spirit thou schalt al to-breke the schippis of Tharsis.

With the east wind you break the ships of Tarshish.

8 As we herden, so we sien, in the citee of the Lord of vertues, in the citee of oure God; God hath foundid that citee with outen ende.

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it forever. (Selah)

9 God, we han resseyued thi mercy; in the myddis of thi temple.

We have thought about your covenant faithfulness, God, in the middle of your temple.

10 Aftir thi name, God, so thin heriyng is spred abrood in to the endis of erthe; thi riyt hond is ful of riytfulnesse.

As your name is, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.

11 The hil of Sion be glad, and the douytris of Judee be fulli ioiful; for thi domes, Lord.

Let Mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your righteous decrees.

12 Cumpasse ye Syon, and biclippe ye it; telle ye in the touris therof.

Walk around Mount Zion, go round about her; count her towers,

13 Sette ye youre hertis in the vertu of him; and departe ye the housis of hym, that ye telle out in an other generacioun.

notice well her walls, and look at her palaces so that you may tell it to the next generation.

14 For this is God, oure God, in to withouten ende, and in to the world of world; he schal gouerne vs in to worldis.

For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide to death.
