| [1]The hundrid and thridde salm. Mi soule, blesse thou the Lord; my Lord God, thou art magnyfied greetli. Thou hast clothid knouleching and fairnesse; and thou art clothid with liyt, |
[1]A Psalm of David. Bless 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name. |
| [2]as with a cloth. And thou stretchist forth heuene as a skyn; |
[2]Bless 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; |
| [3]and thou hilist with watris the hiyer partis therof. Which settist a cloude thi stiyng; which goest on the fetheris of wyndis. |
[3]Who forgiveth all thine iniquity; who healeth all Thy diseases; |
| [4]Which makist spiritis thin aungels; and thi mynystris brennynge fier. |
[4]Who redeemeth Thy life from the pit; who encompasseth thee wi lovingkindness and tender mercies; |
| [5]Which hast foundid the erthe on his stablenesse; it schal not be bowid in to the world of world. |
[5]Who satisfieth thine old age with good things; so that Thy youth is renewed like the eagle. |
| [6]The depthe of watris as a cloth is the clothing therof; watris schulen stonde on hillis. |
[6]𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 executeth righteousness, and acts of justice for all that oppressed. |
| [7]Tho schulen fle fro thi blamyng; men schulen be aferd of the vois of thi thundur. |
[7]He made known His ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel. |
| [8]Hillis stien vp, and feeldis goen doun; in to the place which thou hast foundid to tho. |
[8]𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. |
| [9]Thou hast set a terme, which tho schulen not passe; nether tho schulen be turned, for to hile the erthe. |
[9]He will not always contend; neither will He keep His anger for ever. |
| [10]And thou sendist out wellis in grete valeis; watris schulen passe bitwix the myddil of hillis. |
[10]He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor requited us according to our iniquities. |
| [11]Alle the beestis of the feeld schulen drynke; wielde assis schulen abide in her thirst. |
[11]For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. |
| [12]Briddis of the eir schulen dwelle on tho; fro the myddis of stoonys thei schulen yyue voices. |
[12]As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us. |
| [13]And thou moistist hillis of her hiyer thingis; the erthe schal be fillid of the fruyt of thi werkis. |
[13]Like as a father hath compassion upon his children, so hath YHW compassion upon them that fear Him. |
| [14]And thou bringist forth hei to beestis; and eerbe to the seruyce of men. That thou bringe forth breed of the erthe; |
[14]For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust. |
| [15]and that wiyn make glad the herte of men. That he make glad the face with oile; and that breed make stidefast the herte of man. |
[15]As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. |
| [16]The trees of the feeld schulen be fillid, and the cedris of the Liban, whiche he plauntide; |
[16]For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof knoweth it no more. |
| [17]sparewis schulen make nest there. The hous of the gerfaukun is the leeder of tho; |
[17]But the mercy of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children; |
| [18]hiye hillis ben refute to hertis; a stoon is refutt to irchouns. |
[18]To such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His precepts to do them. |
| [19]He made the moone in to tymes; the sunne knewe his goyng doun. |
[19]𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath established His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom ruleth over all. |
| [20]Thou hast set derknessis, and nyyt is maad; alle beestis of the wode schulen go ther ynne. |
[20]Bless 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, ye angels of His, ye mighty in strength, that fulfil His word, hearkening unto the voice of His word. |
| [21]Liouns whelpis rorynge for to rauysche; and to seke of God meete to hem silf. |
[21]Bless 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, all ye His hosts; ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure. |
| [22]The sunne is risun, and tho ben gaderid togidere; and tho schulen be set in her couchis. |
[22]Bles 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, all ye His works, in all places of His dominion; bless 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, O my soul. |
