< Psalms 97 >
1 The Lord hath regned, the erthe make ful out ioye; many ilis be glad.
The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.
2 Cloude and derknesse in his cumpas; riytfulnesse and doom is amending of his seete.
Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.
3 Fier schal go bifore him; and schal enflawme hise enemyes in cumpas.
Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.
4 Hise leitis schyneden to the world; the erthe siy, and was moued.
His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5 Hillis as wax fletiden doun fro the face of the Lord; al erthe fro the face of the Lord.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Heuenes telden his riytfulnesse; and alle puplis sien his glorie.
The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see 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.
All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
8 Sion herde, and was glad, and the douytris of Juda maden ful out ioye; for `thi domes, Lord.
Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.
9 For thou, Lord, art the hiyeste on al erthe; thou art greetli enhaunsid ouere alle goddis.
For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You 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.
Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Liyt is risun to the riytful man; and gladnesse to riytful men of herte.
Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.
12 Juste men, be ye glad in the Lord; and knouleche ye to the mynde of his halewyng.
Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
