Psalms 85
1 Of the sones of Chore. Lord, thou hast blessid thi lond; thou hast turned awei the caitifte of Jacob.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. You have accepted, O YHWH, Your land, You have turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2 Thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of thi puple; thou hast hilid alle the synnes of hem.
You have carried away the iniquity of Your people, You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Thou hast aswagid al thin ire; thou hast turned awei fro the ire of thin indignacioun.
You have gathered up all Your wrath, You have turned back from the fierceness of Your anger.
4 God, oure helthe, conuerte thou vs; and turne awei thin ire fro vs.
Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Your anger with us.
5 Whether thou schalt be wrooth to vs withouten ende; ether schalt thou holde forth thin ire fro generacioun in to generacioun?
Are You angry against us for all time? Do You draw out Your anger To generation and generation?
6 God, thou conuertid schalt quykene vs; and thi puple schal be glad in thee.
Do You not turn back? You revive us, And Your people rejoice in You.
7 Lord, schewe thi merci to vs; and yyue thin helthe to vs.
Show us, O YHWH, your kindness, And You give to 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 hear what God, YHWH, speaks, For He speaks peace to His people, And to His saints, and they do not turn back to folly.
9 Netheles his helthe is niy men dredynge him; that glorie dwelle in oure lond.
Surely His salvation [is] near to those fearing Him, That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Merci and treuthe metten hem silf; riytwisnesse and pees weren kissid.
Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11 Treuthe cam forth of erthe; and riytfulnesse bihelde fro heuene.
Truth springs up from the earth, And righteousness looks out from the heavens,
12 For the Lord schal yyue benignyte; and oure erthe schal yyue his fruyt.
YHWH also gives that which is good, And our land gives its increase.
13 Riytfulnesse schal go bifore him; and schal sette hise steppis in the weie.
Righteousness goes before Him, And makes a way for His footsteps!
