< Psalms 108 >

1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
The song of `the salm of Dauid. Min herte is redi, God, myn herte is redi; Y schal singe, and Y schal seie salm in my glorie.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
My glorie, ryse thou vp, sautrie and harp, rise thou vp; Y schal rise vp eerli.
3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee among puplis; and Y schal seie salm to thee among naciouns.
4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
For whi, God, thi merci is greet on heuenes; and thi treuthe is til to the cloudis.
5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
God, be thou enhaunsid aboue heuenes; and thi glorie ouer al erthe.
6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
That thi derlingis be delyuerid, make thou saaf with thi riythond, and here me; God spak in his hooli.
7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
I schal make ful out ioye, and Y schal departe Siccimam; and Y schal mete the grete valei of tabernaclis.
8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
Galaad is myn, and Manasses is myn; and Effraym is the vptaking of myn heed. Juda is my king; Moab is the caudron of myn hope.
9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
In to Ydume Y schal stretche forth my scho; aliens ben maad frendis to me.
10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Who schal lede me forth in to a stronge citee; who schal lede me forth til in to Idume?
11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
Whether not thou, God, that hast put vs awei; and, God, schalt thou not go out in oure vertues?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
Yyue thou help to vs of tribulacioun; for the heelthe of man is veyn.
13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
We schulen make vertu in God; and he schal bringe oure enemyes to nouyt.
