< 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 multitude of islands be glad.
2 Cloude and derknesse in his cumpas; riytfulnesse and doom is amending of his seete.
Clouds and darkness are around 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 on every side.
4 Hise leitis schyneden to the world; the erthe siy, and was moued.
His lightning lights up 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, 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. 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 them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their 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 heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, LORD.
9 For thou, Lord, art the hiyeste on al erthe; thou art greetli enhaunsid ouere alle goddis.
For you, LORD, are most high above 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.
You who love the LORD, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his faithful ones. 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, 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 the LORD, you righteous people. Give thanks to his holy Name.
