Psalms 66

1 To the victorie, the song of salm.

For the Leader. A Song, a Psalm. Shout unto God, all the earth;

2 Al the erthe, make ye ioie hertli to God, seie ye salm to his name; yyue ye glorie to his heriyng.

Sing praises unto the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.

3 Seie ye to God, Lord, thi werkis ben dredeful; in the multitude of thi vertu thin enemyes schulen lie to thee.

Say unto God: 'How tremendous is Thy work! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies dwindle away before Thee.

4 God, al the erthe worschipe thee, and synge to thee; seie it salm to thi name.

All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing praises unto Thee; they shall sing praises to Thy name.' (Selah)

5 Come ye and se ye the werkis of God; ferdful in counseils on the sones of men.

Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men.

6 Which turnede the see in to drie lond; in the flood thei schulen passe with foot, there we schulen be glad in hym.

He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there let us rejoice in Him!

7 Which is Lord in his vertu withouten ende, hise iyen biholden on folkis; thei that maken scharp be not enhaunsid in hem silf.

Who ruleth by His might for ever; His eyes keep watch upon the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

8 Ye hethen men, blesse oure God; and make ye herd the vois of his preising.

Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of His praise to be heard;

9 That hath set my soule to lijf, and yaf not my feet in to stiryng.

Who hath set our soul in life, and suffered not our foot to be moved,

10 For thou, God, hast preued vs; thou hast examyned vs bi fier, as siluer is examyned.

For Thou, O God, hast tried us; Thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.

11 Thou leddist vs in to a snare, thou puttidist tribulaciouns in oure bak;

Thou didst bring us into the hold; Thou didst lay constraint upon our loins.

12 thou settidist men on oure heedis. We passiden bi fier and water; and thou leddist vs out in to refreschyng.

Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but Thou didst bring us out unto abundance.

13 I schal entre in to thin hous in brent sacrifices; Y schal yelde to thee my vowis,

I will come into Thy house with burnt-offerings, I will perform unto Thee my vows,

14 which my lippis spaken distinctly. And my mouth spake in my tribulacioun;

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.

15 Y shal offre to thee brent sacrificis ful of merowy, with the brennyng of rammes; Y schal offre to thee oxis with buckis of geet.

I will offer unto Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, with the sweet smoke of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)

16 Alle ye that dreden God, come and here, and Y schal telle; hou grete thingis he hath do to my soule.

Come, and hearken, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul.

17 I criede to hym with my mouth; and Y ioyede fulli vndir my tunge.

I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.

18 If Y bihelde wickidnesse in myn herte; the Lord schal not here.

If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear;

19 Therfor God herde; and perseyuede the vois of my bisechyng.

But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessid be God; that remeued not my preyer, and `took not awei his merci fro me.

Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.
