< Psalms 92 >

1 `The salm of `song, in the dai of sabath. It is good to knouleche to the Lord; and to synge to thi name, thou hiyeste.
A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High;
2 To schewe eerli thi merci; and thi treuthe bi nyyt.
to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night,
3 In a sautrie of ten cordis; with song in harpe.
on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
4 For thou, Lord, hast delitid me in thi makyng; and Y schal make ful out ioye in the werkis of thin hondis.
For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.
5 Lord, thi werkis ben magnefied greetli; thi thouytis ben maad ful depe.
How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.
6 An vnwise man schal not knowe; and a fool schal not vndirstonde these thingis.
A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
7 Whanne synneris comen forth, as hey; and alle thei apperen, that worchen wickidnesse.
When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.
8 That thei perische in to the world of world; forsothe thou, Lord, art the hiyest, withouten ende. For lo!
But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.
9 Lord, thin enemyes, for lo! thin enemyes schulen perische; and alle schulen be scaterid that worchen wickidnesse.
For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 And myn horn schal be reisid as an vnicorn; and myn eelde in plenteuouse merci.
But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
11 And myn iye dispiside myn enemyes; and whanne wickid men rysen ayens me, myn eere schal here.
And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
12 A iust man schal floure as a palm tree; he schal be multiplied as a cedre of Liban.
The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
13 Men plauntid in the hous of the Lord; schulen floure in the porchis of the hous of oure God.
They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Yit thei schulen be multiplied in plenteuouse elde; and thei schulen be suffryng wel.
Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
15 That thei telle, that oure Lord God is riytful; and no wickidnesse is in hym.
that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
