< Psalms 106 >
1 Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness.
Alleluya. Kouleche ye to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is with outen ende.
2 Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?
Who schal speke the powers of the Lord; schal make knowun alle hise preisyngis?
3 O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.
Blessid ben thei that kepen dom; and doon riytfulnesse in al tyme.
4 Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.
Lord, haue thou mynde on vs in the good plesaunce of thi puple; visite thou vs in thin heelthe.
5 To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.
To se in the goodnesse of thi chosun men, to be glad in the gladnes of thi folk; that thou be heried with thin eritage.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.
We han synned with oure fadris; we han do vniustli, we han do wickidnesse.
7 Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.
Oure fadris in Egipt vndirstoden not thi merueils; thei weren not myndeful of the multitude of thi merci. And thei stiynge in to the see, in to the reed see, terreden to wraththe;
8 And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,
and he sauede hem for his name, that `he schulde make knowun his power.
9 And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.
And he departide the reed see, and it was dried; and he lede forth hem in the depthis of watris as in deseert.
10 And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.
And he sauede hem fro the hond of hateris; and he ayen bouyte hem fro the hond of the enemye.
11 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.
And the watir hilide men troublynge hem; oon of hem abood not.
12 And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
And thei bileueden to hise wordis; and thei preisiden the heriynge of hym.
13 They have hasted — forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.
Thei hadden `soone do, thei foryaten hise werkis; and thei abididen not his councel.
14 And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.
And thei coueitiden coueitise in deseert; and temptiden God in a place with out watir.
15 And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.
And he yaf to hem the axyng of hem; and he sente fulnesse in to the soulis of hem.
16 And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.
And thei wraththiden Moyses in the castels; Aaron, the hooli of the Lord.
17 Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.
The erthe was opened, and swolewid Datan; and hilide on the congregacioun of Abiron.
18 And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.
And fier brente an hiye in the synagoge of hem; flawme brente synneris.
19 They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,
And thei maden a calf in Oreb; and worschipiden a yotun ymage.
20 And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.
And thei chaungiden her glorie; in to the liknesse of a calf etynge hei.
21 They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,
Thei foryaten God, that sauede hem, that dide grete werkis in Egipt,
22 Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.
merueils in the lond of Cham; feerdful thingis in the reed see.
23 And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.
And God seide, that he wolde leese hem; if Moises, his chosun man, hadde not stonde in the brekyng of his siyt. That he schulde turne awei his ire; lest he loste hem.
24 And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
And thei hadden the desirable lond for nouyt, thei bileueden not to his word, and thei grutchiden in her tabernaclis;
25 And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.
thei herden not the vois of the Lord.
26 And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
And he reiside his hond on hem; to caste doun hem in desert.
27 And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
And to caste awei her seed in naciouns; and to leese hem in cuntreis.
28 And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,
And thei maden sacrifice to Belfagor; and thei eeten the sacrificis of deed beestis.
29 And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,
And thei wraththiden God in her fyndyngis; and fallyng was multiplied in hem.
30 And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,
And Fynees stood, and pleeside God; and the veniaunce ceesside.
31 And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations — unto the age.
And it was arrettid to hym to riytfulnesse; in generacioun and in to generacioun, til in to with outen ende.
32 And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,
And thei wraththiden God at the watris of ayenseiyng; and Moises was trauelid for hem, for thei maden bittere his spirit,
33 For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.
and he departide in his lippis.
34 They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,
Thei losten not hethen men; whiche the Lord seide to hem.
35 And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,
And thei weren meddlid among hethene men, and lerneden the werkis of hem,
36 And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.
and serueden the grauen ymagis of hem; and it was maad to hem in to sclaundre.
37 And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,
And thei offriden her sones; and her douytris to feendis.
38 And they shed innocent blood — Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood.
And thei schedden out innocent blood, the blood of her sones and of her douytris; whiche thei sacrificiden to the grauun ymagis of Chanaan.
39 And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.
And the erthe was slayn in bloodis, and was defoulid in the werkis of hem; and thei diden fornicacioun in her fyndyngis.
40 And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.
And the Lord was wrooth bi strong veniaunce ayens his puple; and hadde abhominacioun of his eritage.
41 And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,
And he bitook hem in to the hondis of hethene men; and thei that hatiden hem, weren lordis of hem.
42 And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.
And her enemyes diden tribulacioun to hem, and thei weren mekid vndir the hondis of enemyes;
43 Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.
ofte he delyuerede hem. But thei wraththiden hym in her counsel; and thei weren maad low in her wickidnessis.
44 And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,
And he siye, whanne thei weren set in tribulacioun; and he herde the preyer of hem.
45 And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.
And he was myndeful of his testament; and it repentide hym bi the multitude of his merci.
46 And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.
And he yaf hem in to mercies; in the siyt of alle men, that hadden take hem.
47 Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.
Oure Lord God, make thou vs saaf; and gadere togidere vs fro naciouns. That we knouleche to thin hooli name; and haue glorie in thi preisyng.
48 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, 'Amen, praise Jah!'
Blessid be the Lord God of Israel fro the world and til in to the world; and al the puple schal seye, Be it don, be it don.
