Psalms 97

1 The Lord hath regned, the erthe make ful out ioye; many ilis be glad.

The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.

2 Cloude and derknesse in his cumpas; riytfulnesse and doom is amending of his seete.

Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.

3 Fier schal go bifore him; and schal enflawme hise enemyes in cumpas.

Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

4 Hise leitis schyneden to the world; the erthe siy, and was moued.

His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.

5 Hillis as wax fletiden doun fro the face of the Lord; al erthe fro the face of the Lord.

The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.

6 Heuenes telden his riytfulnesse; and alle puplis sien his glorie.

The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw 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.

Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.

8 Sion herde, and was glad, and the douytris of Juda maden ful out ioye; for `thi domes, Lord.

Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

9 For thou, Lord, art the hiyeste on al erthe; thou art greetli enhaunsid ouere alle goddis.

For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other 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.

You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

11 Liyt is risun to the riytful man; and gladnesse to riytful men of herte.

Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.

12 Juste men, be ye glad in the Lord; and knouleche ye to the mynde of his halewyng.

Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
