3 Knouleche thei to thi greet name, for it is ferdful and hooli;

Let them praise your great and awesome name; he is holy.

4 and the onour of the king loueth doom. Thou hast maad redi dressyngis; thou hast maad doom and riytfulnesse in Jacob.

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud. They kept his solemn commands and the statutes that he gave them.

8 Oure Lord God, thou herdist hem; God, thou were merciful to hem, and thou tokist veniaunce on al her fyndyngis.

You answered them, Yahweh our God. A forgiving God you were to them, but one who punished their sinful deeds.
