| [1]The `title of the hundrid and enleuenthe salm. Alleluya. Blissid is the man that dredith the Lord; he schal wilne ful myche in hise comaundementis. |
[1] I wyll prayse God with my whole heart: in the congregation and assemblie of righteous men |
| [2]His seed schal be myyti in erthe; the generacioun of riytful men schal be blessid. |
[2]Great are the workes of God: sought out of all them that haue pleasure therin |
| [3]Glorie and richessis ben in his hous; and his riytfulnesse dwellith in to the world of world. |
[3]His worke is glory and maiestie: and his righteousnes endureth for euer |
| [4]Liyt is risun vp in derknessis to riytful men; the Lord is merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, and riytful. |
[4]The merciful and gratious God: hath so left a remembraunce of his meruaylous workes |
| [5]The man is merye, that doith merci, and leeneth; he disposith hise wordis in dom; |
[5]He hath geuen meate vnto them that feare him: he wyll euer be myndfull of his couenaunt |
| [6]for he schal not be moued with outen ende. |
[6]He hath declared vnto his people the force of his workes: in geuing them the inheritaunce of the Heathen |
| [7]A iust man schal be in euerlastinge mynde; he schal not drede of an yuel heryng. His herte is redi for to hope in the Lord; |
[7]The workes of his handes are veritie and iudgement: all his commaundementes are true |
| [8]his herte is confermed, he schal not be moued, til he dispise hise enemyes. |
[8]They be set sure for euer and euer: they are done in trueth and equitie |
| [9]He spredde abrood, he yaf to pore men; his riytwisnesse dwellith in to the world of world; his horn schal be reisid in glorie. |
[9]He did sende redemption vnto his people: he hath commaunded his couenaunt [to be] for euer, holy and terrible is his name |
| [10]A synner schal se, and schal be wrooth; he schal gnaste with hise teeth, and schal faile; the desijr of synneris schal perische. |
[10]The beginning of wysdome is the feare of God: all they haue a good vnderstanding that do his commaundements, the praise of it endureth for euer |
