Psalms 97

1 The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.

The Lord hath regned, the erthe make ful out ioye; many ilis be glad.

2 Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.

Cloude and derknesse in his cumpas; riytfulnesse and doom is amending of his seete.

3 Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

Fier schal go bifore him; and schal enflawme hise enemyes in cumpas.

4 His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.

Hise leitis schyneden to the world; the erthe siy, and was moued.

5 The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.

Hillis as wax fletiden doun fro the face of the Lord; al erthe fro the face of the Lord.

6 The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.

Heuenes telden his riytfulnesse; and alle puplis sien his glorie.

7 Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.

Alle that worschipen sculptilis be schent, and thei that han glorie in her symelacris; alle ye aungels of the Lord, worschipe him.

8 Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

Sion herde, and was glad, and the douytris of Juda maden ful out ioye; for `thi domes, Lord.

9 For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.

For thou, Lord, art the hiyeste on al erthe; thou art greetli enhaunsid ouere alle goddis.

10 You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

Ye that louen the Lord, hate yuel; the Lord kepith the soulis of hise seyntis; he schal delyuer hem fro the hond of the synner.

11 Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.

Liyt is risun to the riytful man; and gladnesse to riytful men of herte.

12 Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.

Juste men, be ye glad in the Lord; and knouleche ye to the mynde of his halewyng.
