< 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 Iacob.
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: iustitia, et pax osculatæ sunt.
11 Treuthe cam forth of erthe; and riytfulnesse bihelde fro heuene.
Veritas de terra orta est: et iustitia 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.
Iustitia ante eum ambulabit: et ponet in via gressus suos.
