< Psalms 85 >
1 Of the sones of Chore. Lord, thou hast blessid thi lond; thou hast turned awei the caitifte of Jacob.
In finem, filiis Core. Psalmus. [Benedixisti, Domine, terram tuam; avertisti captivitatem Jacob.
2 Thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of thi puple; thou hast hilid alle the synnes of hem.
Remisisti iniquitatem plebis tuæ; operuisti omnia peccata eorum.
3 Thou hast aswagid al thin ire; thou hast turned awei fro the ire of thin indignacioun.
Mitigasti omnem iram tuam; avertisti ab ira indignationis tuæ.
4 God, oure helthe, conuerte thou vs; and turne awei thin ire fro vs.
Converte nos, Deus salutaris noster, et averte iram tuam a nobis.
5 Whether thou schalt be wrooth to vs withouten ende; ether schalt thou holde forth thin ire fro generacioun in to generacioun?
Numquid in æternum irasceris nobis? aut extendes iram tuam a generatione in generationem?
6 God, thou conuertid schalt quykene vs; and thi puple schal be glad in thee.
Deus, tu conversus vivificabis nos, et plebs tua lætabitur in te.
7 Lord, schewe thi merci to vs; and yyue thin helthe to vs.
Ostende nobis, Domine, misericordiam tuam, et salutare tuum da nobis.
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.
Audiam quid loquatur in me Dominus Deus, quoniam loquetur pacem in plebem suam, et super sanctos suos, et in eos qui convertuntur ad cor.
9 Netheles his helthe is niy men dredynge him; that glorie dwelle in oure lond.
Verumtamen prope timentes eum salutare ipsius, ut inhabitet gloria in terra nostra.
10 Merci and treuthe metten hem silf; riytwisnesse and pees weren kissid.
Misericordia et veritas obviaverunt sibi; justitia et pax osculatæ sunt.
11 Treuthe cam forth of erthe; and riytfulnesse bihelde fro heuene.
Veritas de terra orta est, et justitia de cælo prospexit.
12 For the Lord schal yyue benignyte; and oure erthe schal yyue his fruyt.
Etenim Dominus dabit benignitatem, et terra nostra dabit fructum suum.
13 Riytfulnesse schal go bifore him; and schal sette hise steppis in the weie.
Justitia ante eum ambulabit, et ponet in via gressus suos.]
