< Psalms 97 >
1 The Lord hath regned, the erthe make ful out ioye; many ilis be glad.
Jehovah reigns! Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Cloude and derknesse in his cumpas; riytfulnesse and doom is amending of his seete.
Clouds and darkness are round about him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fier schal go bifore him; and schal enflawme hise enemyes in cumpas.
A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries round about.
4 Hise leitis schyneden to the world; the erthe siy, and was moued.
His lightnings lightened the world. The earth saw, and trembled.
5 Hillis as wax fletiden doun fro the face of the Lord; al erthe fro the face of the Lord.
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Heuenes telden his riytfulnesse; and alle puplis sien his glorie.
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Alle that worschipen sculptilis be schent, and thei that han glorie in her symelacris; alle ye aungels of the Lord, worschipe him.
Let all those be put to shame who serve graven images, who boast themselves of idols. Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
8 Sion herde, and was glad, and the douytris of Juda maden ful out ioye; for `thi domes, Lord.
Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9 For thou, Lord, art the hiyeste on al erthe; thou art greetli enhaunsid ouere alle goddis.
For thou, Jehovah, are most high above all the earth. Thou are exalted far above all gods.
10 Ye that louen the Lord, hate yuel; the Lord kepith the soulis of hise seyntis; he schal delyuer hem fro the hond of the synner.
O ye who love Jehovah, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his sanctified. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Liyt is risun to the riytful man; and gladnesse to riytful men of herte.
Light is sown for the righteous man, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Juste men, be ye glad in the Lord; and knouleche ye to the mynde of his halewyng.
Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous, and give thanks to the memory of his holiness.
