Psalms 50
1 A Psalm of Asaph. God, [even] God, the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
The salm of Asaph. God, the Lord of goddis, spak; and clepide the erthe,
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
fro the risynge of the sunne til to the goyng doun. The schap of his fairnesse fro Syon,
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
God schal come opynli; oure God, and he schal not be stille. Fier schal brenne an hiye in his siyt; and a strong tempest in his cumpas.
4 He shall call to the heavens above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
He clepide heuene aboue; and the erthe, to deme his puple.
5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
Gadere ye to hym hise seyntis; that ordeynen his testament aboue sacrifices.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God is judge himself. (Selah)
`And heuenes schulen schewe his riytfulnesse; for God is the iuge.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, [even] thy God.
Mi puple, here thou, and Y schal speke to Israel; and Y schal witnesse to thee, Y am God, thi God.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt offerings are continually before me.
I schal not repreue thee in thi sacrifices; and thi brent sacrifices ben euere bifor me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
I schal not take calues of thin hows; nethir geet buckis of thi flockis.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
For alle the wyelde beestis of wodis ben myne; werk beestis, and oxis in hillis.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
I haue knowe alle the volatils of heuene; and the fairnesse of the feeld is with me.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
If Y schal be hungry, Y schal not seie to thee; for the world and the fulnesse therof is myn.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Whether Y schal eete the fleischis of boolis? ethir schal Y drynke the blood of geet buckis?
14 Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High:
Offre thou to God the sacrifice of heriyng; and yelde thin avowis to the hiyeste God.
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
And inwardli clepe thou me in the dai of tribulacioun; and Y schal delyuere thee, and thou schalt onoure me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes; and that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth?
But God seide to the synnere, Whi tellist thou out my riytfulnessis; and takist my testament bi thi mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
Sotheli thou hatidist lore; and hast cast awey my wordis bihynde.
18 When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
If thou siyest a theef, thou `hast runne with hym; and thou settidist thi part with avowtreris.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Thi mouth was plenteuouse of malice; and thi tunge medlide togidere giles.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
Thou sittynge spakist ayens thi brother, and thou settidist sclaundir ayens the sone of thi modir;
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
thou didist these thingis, and Y was stille. Thou gessidist wickidli, that Y schal be lijk thee; Y schal repreue thee, and Y schal sette ayens thi face.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:
Ye that foryeten God, vndurstonde these thingis; lest sum tyme he rauysche, and noon be that schal delyuere.
23 Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth his conversation [aright] will I shew the salvation of God.
The sacrifice of heriyng schal onoure me; and there is the weie, where ynne Y schal schewe to hym the helthe of God.
