< Psalms 97 >
1 The Lord hath regned, the erthe make ful out ioye; many ilis be glad.
Yahweh reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands 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 the foundation of his throne.
3 Fier schal go bifore him; and schal enflawme hise enemyes in cumpas.
Fire goes before him and consumes 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 before Yahweh, the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Heuenes telden his riytfulnesse; and alle puplis sien his glorie.
The skies declare his justice, and all the nations 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 those who worship carved figures will be shamed, those who boast in worthless idols— bow down to 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, and the towns of Judah rejoiced because of your righteous decrees, Yahweh.
9 For thou, Lord, art the hiyeste on al erthe; thou art greetli enhaunsid ouere alle goddis.
For you, Yahweh, 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 Yahweh, hate evil! He protects the lives of his saints, and he takes 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 those with honest hearts.
12 Juste men, be ye glad in the Lord; and knouleche ye to the mynde of his halewyng.
Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous; and give thanks when you remember his holiness.
