Psalms 97

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

The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.

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

Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.

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

A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.

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

His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.

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

The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

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

The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people 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.

Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.

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

Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.

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

For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly exalted 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 the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.

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, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
