< 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 for the Sabbath-day.” It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to thy name, O Most High!
2 To schewe eerli thi merci; and thi treuthe bi nyyt.
To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
3 In a sautrie of ten cordis; with song in harpe.
Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.
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, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!
5 Lord, thi werkis ben magnefied greetli; thi thouytis ben maad ful depe.
How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!
6 An vnwise man schal not knowe; and a fool schal not vndirstonde these thingis.
But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.
7 Whanne synneris comen forth, as hey; and alle thei apperen, that worchen wickidnesse.
When the wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!
8 That thei perische in to the world of world; forsothe thou, Lord, art the hiyest, withouten ende. For lo!
Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!
9 Lord, thin enemyes, for lo! thin enemyes schulen perische; and alle schulen be scaterid that worchen wickidnesse.
For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!
10 And myn horn schal be reisid as an vnicorn; and myn eelde in plenteuouse merci.
But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 And myn iye dispiside myn enemyes; and whanne wickid men rysen ayens me, myn eere schal here.
Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.
12 A iust man schal floure as a palm tree; he schal be multiplied as a cedre of Liban.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;
13 Men plauntid in the hous of the Lord; schulen floure in the porchis of the hous of oure God.
Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Yit thei schulen be multiplied in plenteuouse elde; and thei schulen be suffryng wel.
Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;
15 That thei telle, that oure Lord God is riytful; and no wickidnesse is in hym.
To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
