[1]The title of the eiyte and eiytetithe salm. The lernyng of Ethan, Ezraite.[2]I schal synge with outen ende; the mercies of the Lord. In generacioun and in to generacioun; Y schal telle thi treuthe with my mouth.[3]For thou seidist, With outen ende merci schal be bildid in heuenes; thi treuthe schal be maad redi in tho.[4]I disposide a testament to my chosun men; Y swoor to Dauid, my seruaunt,[5]Til in to with outen ende I schal make redi thi seed. And Y schal bilde thi seete; in generacioun, and in to generacioun.[6]Lord, heuenes schulen knouleche thi merueilis; and thi treuthe in the chirche of seyntis.[7]For who in the cloudis schal be maad euene to the Lord; schal be lijk God among the sones of God?[8]God, which is glorified in the counsel of seyntis; is greet, and dreedful ouere alle that ben in his cumpas.[9]Lord God of vertues, who is lijk thee? Lord, thou art miyti, and thi treuthe is in thi cumpas.[10]Thou art Lord of the power of the see; forsothe thou aswagist the stiryng of the wawis therof.[11]Thou madist lowe the proude, as woundid; in the arm of thi vertu thou hast scaterid thin enemyes.[12]Heuenes ben thin, and erthe is thin; thou hast foundid the world, and the fulnesse therof;[13]thou madist of nouyt the north and the see. Thabor and Hermon schulen make ful out ioye in thi name;[14]thin arm with power. Thin hond be maad stidefast, and thi riythond be enhaunsid;[15]riytfulnesse and doom is the makyng redy of thi seete. Merci and treuthe schulen go bifore thi face;[16]blessid is the puple that kan hertli song. Lord, thei schulen go in the liyt of thi cheer;[17]and in thi name thei schulen make ful out ioye al dai; and thei schulen be enhaunsid in thi riytfulnesse.[18]For thou art the glorie of the vertu of hem; and in thi good plesaunce oure horn schal be enhaunsid.
