Wycliffe's English Translation (1388)
Wycliffe
Translated from the Latin in the 14th century
[1]The titil of the fyue and sixtithe salm. To the victorie, the song of salm. [2]Al the erthe, make ye ioie hertli to God, seie ye salm to his name; yyue ye glorie to his heriyng. [3]Seie ye to God, Lord, thi werkis ben dredeful; in the multitude of thi vertu thin enemyes schulen lie to thee. [4]God, al the erthe worschipe thee, and synge to thee; seie it salm to thi name. [5]Come ye and se ye the werkis of God; ferdful in counseils on the sones of men. [6]Which turnede the see in to drie lond; in the flood thei schulen passe with foot, there we schulen be glad in hym. [7]Which is Lord in his vertu withouten ende, hise iyen biholden on folkis; thei that maken scharp be not enhaunsid in hem silf. [8]Ye hethen men, blesse oure God; and make ye herd the vois of his preising. [9]That hath set my soule to lijf, and yaf not my feet in to stiryng. [10]For thou, God, hast preued vs; thou hast examyned vs bi fier, as siluer is examyned. [11]Thou leddist vs in to a snare, thou puttidist tribulaciouns in oure bak; [12]thou settidist men on oure heedis. We passiden bi fier and water; and thou leddist vs out in to refreschyng. [13]I schal entre in to thin hous in brent sacrifices; Y schal yelde to thee my vowis,
