Psalms 85

1 Of the sones of Chore. Lord, thou hast blessid thi lond; thou hast turned awei the caitifte of Jacob.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.

2 Thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of thi puple; thou hast hilid alle the synnes of hem.

You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin.

3 Thou hast aswagid al thin ire; thou hast turned awei fro the ire of thin indignacioun.

You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.

4 God, oure helthe, conuerte thou vs; and turne awei thin ire fro vs.

Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.

5 Whether thou schalt be wrooth to vs withouten ende; ether schalt thou holde forth thin ire fro generacioun in to generacioun?

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

6 God, thou conuertid schalt quykene vs; and thi puple schal be glad in thee.

Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?

7 Lord, schewe thi merci to vs; and yyue thin helthe to vs.

Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.

8 I schal here what the Lord God schal speke in me; for he schal speke pees on his puple. And on hise hooli men; and on hem that ben turned to herte.

I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.

9 Netheles his helthe is niy men dredynge him; that glorie dwelle in oure lond.

Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.

10 Merci and treuthe metten hem silf; riytwisnesse and pees weren kissid.

Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.

11 Treuthe cam forth of erthe; and riytfulnesse bihelde fro heuene.

Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.

12 For the Lord schal yyue benignyte; and oure erthe schal yyue his fruyt.

The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

13 Riytfulnesse schal go bifore him; and schal sette hise steppis in the weie.

Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
