Psalms 85

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

For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.

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

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. (Selah)

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

Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.

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

Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.

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

Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?

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

Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?

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

Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us Thy 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 hear what God the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.

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

Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land.

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

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

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

Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

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

Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.

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

Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.
