< Psalms 97 >
1 The Lord hath regned, the erthe make ful out ioye; many ilis be glad.
Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice.
2 Cloude and derknesse in his cumpas; riytfulnesse and doom is amending of his seete.
Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fier schal go bifore him; and schal enflawme hise enemyes in cumpas.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth 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 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.
Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship 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 rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, 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, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly 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.
Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth 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, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Juste men, be ye glad in the Lord; and knouleche ye to the mynde of his halewyng.
Rejoice in Jehovah, ye righteous; and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.
