[1]BlessH1288[H8761] the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315. O LORDH3068 my GodH430, thou art veryH3966 greatH1431[H8804]; thou art clothedH3847[H8804] with honourH1935 and majestyH1926. |
| [2]Synge ye to hym, and seie ye salm to him, and telle ye alle hise merueylis; |
[2]Who coverestH5844[H8802] thyself with lightH216 as with a garmentH8008: who stretchest outH5186[H8802] the heavensH8064 like a curtainH3407: |
| [3]be ye preisid in his hooli name. The herte of men sekynge the Lord be glad; |
[3]Who layeth the beamsH7136[H8764] of his chambersH5944 in the watersH4325: who makethH7760[H8802] the cloudsH5645 his chariotH7398: who walkethH1980[H8764] upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307: |
| [4]seke ye the Lord, and be ye confermed; seke ye euere his face. |
[4]Who makethH6213[H8802] his angelsH4397 spiritsH7307; his ministersH8334[H8764] a flamingH3857[H8802] fireH784: |
| [5]Haue ye mynde on hise merueilis, whiche he dide; on his grete wondris, and domes of his mouth. |
[5]Who laidH3245[H8804] the foundationsH4349 of the earthH776, that it should not be removedH4131[H8735] for everH5769.[H5703] |
| [6]The seed of Abraham, his seruaunt; the sones of Jacob, his chosun man. |
[6]Thou coveredstH3680[H8765] it with the deepH8415 as with a garmentH3830: the watersH4325 stoodH5975[H8799] above the mountainsH2022. |
| [7]He is oure Lord God; hise domes ben in al the erthe. |
[7]AtH4480 thy rebukeH1606 they fledH5127[H8799]; at the voiceH6963 of thy thunderH7482 they hastedH2648 awayH8735. |
| [8]He was myndeful of his testament in to the world; of the word which he comaundide in to a thousynde generaciouns. |
[8]They go upH5927[H8799] by the mountainsH2022; they go downH3381[H8799] by the valleysH1237 unto the placeH4725 whichH2088 thou hast foundedH3245 for themH8804. |
| [9]Which he disposide to Abraham; and of his ooth to Isaac. |
[9]Thou hast setH7760[H8804] a boundH1366 that they may not pass overH5674[H8799]; that they turn not againH7725[H8799] to coverH3680[H8763] the earthH776. |
| [10]And he ordeynede it to Jacob in to a comaundement; and to Israel in to euerlastinge testament. |
[10]He sendethH7971[H8764] the springsH4599 into the valleysH5158, which runH1980[H8762] among the hillsH2022. |
| [11]And he seide, I shal yiue to thee the lond of Canaan; the cord of youre eritage. |
[11]They give drinkH8248[H8686] to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704: the wild assesH6501 quenchH7665[H8799] their thirstH6772. |
| [12]Whanne thei weren in a litil noumbre; and the comelingis of hem weren ful fewe. |
[12]By them shall the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064 have their habitationH7931[H8799], which singH5414[H8799][H6963] amongH996 the branchesH6073. |
| [13]And thei passiden fro folk in to folk; and fro a rewme in to another puple. |
[13]He waterethH8248[H8688] the hillsH2022 from his chambersH5944: the earthH776 is satisfiedH7646[H8799] with the fruitH6529 of thy worksH4639. |
| [14]He lefte not a man to anoye hem; and he chastiside kyngis for hem. |
[14]He causeth the grassH2682 to growH6779[H8688] for the cattleH929, and herbH6212 for the serviceH5656 of manH120: that he may bring forthH3318[H8687] foodH3899 out of the earthH776; |
| [15]Nile ye touche my cristis; and nyle ye do wickidli among my prophetis. |
[15]And wineH3196 that maketh gladH8055[H8762] the heartH3824 of manH582, and oilH8081 to make his faceH6440 to shineH6670[H8687], and breadH3899 which strengthenethH5582[H8799] man'sH582 heartH3824. |
| [16]And God clepide hungir on erthe; and he wastide al the stidefastnesse of breed. |
[16]The treesH6086 of the LORDH3068 are fullH7646[H8799] of sap; the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, H5193which he hath plantedH8804 |
| [17]He sente a man bifore hem; Joseph was seeld in to a seruaunt. |
[17]Where the birdsH6833 make their nestsH7077[H8762]: as for the storkH2624, the fir treesH1265 are her houseH1004. |
| [18]Thei maden lowe hise feet in stockis, irun passide by his soule; til the word of him cam. |
[18]The highH1364 hillsH2022 are a refugeH4268 for the wild goatsH3277; and the rocksH5553 for the coniesH8227. |
| [19]The speche of the Lord enflawmede him; |
[19]He appointedH6213[H8804] the moonH3394 for seasonsH4150: the sunH8121 knowethH3045[H8804] his going downH3996. |
| [20]the king sente and vnbond hym; the prince of puplis sente and delyuerede him. |
[20]Thou makestH7896[H8799] darknessH2822, and it is nightH3915: wherein all the beastsH2416 of the forestH3293 do creepH7430 forthH8799. |
| [21]He ordeynede him the lord of his hous; and the prince of al his possessioun. |
[21]The young lionsH3715 roarH7580[H8802] after their preyH2964, and seekH1245[H8763] their meatH400 from GodH410. |
| [22]That he schulde lerne hise princis as him silf; and that he schulde teche hise elde men prudence. |
[22]The sunH8121 arisethH2224[H8799], they gather themselves togetherH622[H8735], and lay them downH7257[H8799] in their densH4585. |
| [23]And Israel entride in to Egipt; and Jacob was a comeling in the lond of Cham. |
[23]ManH120 goeth forthH3318[H8799] unto his workH6467 and to his labourH5656 until the eveningH6153. |
| [24]And God encreesside his puple greetli; and made hym stidefast on hise enemyes. |
[24]O LORDH3068, how manifoldH7231[H8804] are thy worksH4639! in wisdomH2451 hast thou madeH6213[H8804] them all: the earthH776 is fullH4390[H8804] of thy richesH7075. |
| [25]He turnede the herte of hem, that thei hatiden his puple; and diden gile ayens hise seruauntis. |
[25]So is this greatH1419 and wideH7342[H3027] seaH3220, wherein are things creepingH7431 innumerableH4557, both smallH6996 and greatH1419 beastsH2416. |
| [26]He sent Moises, his seruaunt; thilke Aaron, whom he chees. |
[26]There goH1980[H8762] the shipsH591: there is that leviathanH3882, whom thou hast madeH3335[H8804] to playH7832 thereinH8763. |
| [27]He puttide in hem the wordis of hise myraclis; and of hise grete wondris in the lond of Cham. |
[27]These waitH7663[H8762] all upon thee; that thou mayest giveH5414[H8800] them their meatH400 in due seasonH6256. |
| [28]He sente derknessis, and made derk; and he made not bitter hise wordis. |
[28]That thou givestH5414[H8799] them they gatherH3950[H8799]: thou openestH6605[H8799] thine handH3027, they are filledH7646[H8799] with goodH2896. |
| [29]He turnede the watris of hem in to blood; and he killide the fischis of hem. |
[29]Thou hidestH5641[H8686] thy faceH6440, they are troubledH926[H8735]: thou takest awayH622[H8799] their breathH7307, they dieH1478[H8799], and returnH7725[H8799] to their dustH6083. |
| [30]And the lond of hem yaf paddoks; in the priue places of the kyngis of hem. |
[30]Thou sendestH7971[H8762] forth thy spiritH7307, they are createdH1254[H8735]: and thou renewestH2318[H8762] the faceH6440 of the earthH127. |
| [31]God seide, and a fleische flie cam; and gnattis in alle the coostis of hem. |
[31]The gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall endure for everH5769: the LORDH3068 shall rejoiceH8055[H8799] in his worksH4639. |
| [32]He settide her reynes hail; fier brennynge in the lond of hem. |
[32]He lookethH5027[H8688] on the earthH776, and it tremblethH7460[H8799]: he touchethH5060[H8799] the hillsH2022, and they smokeH6225.[H8799] |
| [33]And he smoot the vynes of hem, and the fige trees of hem; and al to-brak the tree of the coostis of hem. |
[33]I will singH7891[H8799] unto the LORDH3068 as long as I liveH2416: I will singH2167[H8762] praise to my GodH430 while I have my beingH5750. |
| [34]He seide, and a locuste cam; and a bruk of which was noon noumbre. |
[34]My meditationH7879 of him shall be sweetH6149[H8799]: I will be gladH8055[H8799] in the LORDH3068. |
| [35]And it eet al the hey in the lond of hem; and it eet al the fruyt of the lond of hem. |
[35]Let the sinnersH2400 be consumedH8552[H8735] out of the earthH776, and let the wickedH7563 be no more. BlessH1288[H8761] thou the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315. PraiseH1984[H8761] ye the LORDH3050. |
