4 seke ye the Lord, and be ye confermed; seke ye euere his face.
5 Haue ye mynde on hise merueilis, whiche he dide; on his grete wondris, and domes of his mouth.
6 The seed of Abraham, his seruaunt; the sones of Jacob, his chosun man.
7 He is oure Lord God; hise domes ben in al the erthe.
8 He was myndeful of his testament in to the world; of the word which he comaundide in to a thousynde generaciouns.
9 Which he disposide to Abraham; and of his ooth to Isaac.
10 And he ordeynede it to Jacob in to a comaundement; and to Israel in to euerlastinge testament.
11 And he seide, I shal yiue to thee the lond of Canaan; the cord of youre eritage.
12 Whanne thei weren in a litil noumbre; and the comelingis of hem weren ful fewe.
13 And thei passiden fro folk in to folk; and fro a rewme in to another puple.
14 He lefte not a man to anoye hem; and he chastiside kyngis for hem.
15 Nile ye touche my cristis; and nyle ye do wickidli among my prophetis.
16 And God clepide hungir on erthe; and he wastide al the stidefastnesse of breed.
17 He sente a man bifore hem; Joseph was seeld in to a seruaunt.
18 Thei maden lowe hise feet in stockis, irun passide by his soule; til the word of him cam.
19 The speche of the Lord enflawmede him;
20 the king sente and vnbond hym; the prince of puplis sente and delyuerede him.
21 He ordeynede him the lord of his hous; and the prince of al his possessioun.
22 That he schulde lerne hise princis as him silf; and that he schulde teche hise elde men prudence.
23 And Israel entride in to Egipt; and Jacob was a comeling in the lond of Cham.
24 And God encreesside his puple greetli; and made hym stidefast on hise enemyes.
25 He turnede the herte of hem, that thei hatiden his puple; and diden gile ayens hise seruauntis.
26 He sent Moises, his seruaunt; thilke Aaron, whom he chees.
27 He puttide in hem the wordis of hise myraclis; and of hise grete wondris in the lond of Cham.
28 He sente derknessis, and made derk; and he made not bitter hise wordis.
29 He turnede the watris of hem in to blood; and he killide the fischis of hem.
30 And the lond of hem yaf paddoks; in the priue places of the kyngis of hem.
31 God seide, and a fleische flie cam; and gnattis in alle the coostis of hem.
32 He settide her reynes hail; fier brennynge in the lond of hem.
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.
34 He seide, and a locuste cam; and a bruk of which was noon noumbre.
35 And it eet al the hey in the lond of hem; and it eet al the fruyt of the lond of hem.
36 And he killide ech the firste gendrid thing in the lond of hem; the firste fruitis of alle the trauel of hem.
37 And he ledde out hem with siluer and gold; and noon was sijk in the lynagis of hem.
38 Egipt was glad in the goyng forth of hem; for the drede of hem lai on Egipcians.
39 He spredde abrood a cloude, in to the hiling of hem; and fier, that it schynede to hem bi nyyt.
40 Thei axiden, and a curlew cam; and he fillide hem with the breed of heuene.
41 He brak a stoon, and watris flowiden; floodis yeden forth in the drye place.
42 For he was myndeful of his hooli word; which he hadde to Abraham, his child.
43 And he ledde out his puple in ful out ioiyng; and hise chosun men in gladnesse.
44 And he yaf to hem the cuntreis of hethen men; and thei hadden in possessioun the trauels of puplis.
45 That thei kepe hise iustifiyngis; and seke his lawe.
105 1 The `title of the hundrid and fifthe salm. Alleluya. Kouleche ye to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is with outen ende.
2 Who schal speke the powers of the Lord; schal make knowun alle hise preisyngis?
3 Blessid ben thei that kepen dom; and doon riytfulnesse in al tyme.
4 Lord, haue thou mynde on vs in the good plesaunce of thi puple; visite thou vs in thin heelthe.
5 To se in the goodnesse of thi chosun men, to be glad in the gladnes of thi folk; that thou be heried with thin eritage.
6 We han synned with oure fadris; we han do vniustli, we han do wickidnesse.
7 Oure fadris in Egipt vndirstoden not thi merueils; thei weren not myndeful of the multitude of thi merci. And thei stiynge in to the see, in to the reed see, terreden to wraththe;
8 and he sauede hem for his name, that `he schulde make knowun his power.
9 And he departide the reed see, and it was dried; and he lede forth hem in the depthis of watris as in deseert.
10 And he sauede hem fro the hond of hateris; and he ayen bouyte hem fro the hond of the enemye.
11 And the watir hilide men troublynge hem; oon of hem abood not.
12 And thei bileueden to hise wordis; and thei preisiden the heriynge of hym.
13 Thei hadden `soone do, thei foryaten hise werkis; and thei abididen not his councel.
14 And thei coueitiden coueitise in deseert; and temptiden God in a place with out watir.
15 And he yaf to hem the axyng of hem; and he sente fulnesse in to the soulis of hem.
16 And thei wraththiden Moyses in the castels; Aaron, the hooli of the Lord.
17 The erthe was opened, and swolewid Datan; and hilide on the congregacioun of Abiron.
18 And fier brente an hiye in the synagoge of hem; flawme brente synneris.
19 And thei maden a calf in Oreb; and worschipiden a yotun ymage.
20 And thei chaungiden her glorie; in to the liknesse of a calf etynge hei.
21 Thei foryaten God, that sauede hem, that dide grete werkis in Egipt,
22 merueils in the lond of Cham; feerdful thingis in the reed see.
23 And God seide, that he wolde leese hem; if Moises, his chosun man, hadde not stonde in the brekyng of his siyt. That he schulde turne awei his ire; lest he loste hem.
24 And thei hadden the desirable lond for nouyt, thei bileueden not to his word, and thei grutchiden in her tabernaclis;
25 thei herden not the vois of the Lord.
26 And he reiside his hond on hem; to caste doun hem in desert.
27 And to caste awei her seed in naciouns; and to leese hem in cuntreis.
28 And thei maden sacrifice to Belfagor; and thei eeten the sacrificis of deed beestis.
29 And thei wraththiden God in her fyndyngis; and fallyng was multiplied in hem.
30 And Fynees stood, and pleeside God; and the veniaunce ceesside.
31 And it was arrettid to hym to riytfulnesse; in generacioun and in to generacioun, til in to with outen ende.
32 And thei wraththiden God at the watris of ayenseiyng; and Moises was trauelid for hem, for thei maden bittere his spirit,
33 and he departide in his lippis.
34 Thei losten not hethen men; whiche the Lord seide to hem.
35 And thei weren meddlid among hethene men, and lerneden the werkis of hem,
36 and serueden the grauen ymagis of hem; and it was maad to hem in to sclaundre.
37 And thei offriden her sones; and her douytris to feendis.
38 And thei schedden out innocent blood, the blood of her sones and of her douytris; whiche thei sacrificiden to the grauun ymagis of Chanaan.
39 And the erthe was slayn in bloodis, and was defoulid in the werkis of hem; and thei diden fornicacioun in her fyndyngis.
40 And the Lord was wrooth bi strong veniaunce ayens his puple; and hadde abhominacioun of his eritage.
41 And he bitook hem in to the hondis of hethene men; and thei that hatiden hem, weren lordis of hem.
42 And her enemyes diden tribulacioun to hem, and thei weren mekid vndir the hondis of enemyes;

44 And he siye, whanne thei weren set in tribulacioun; and he herde the preyer of hem.
45 And he was myndeful of his testament; and it repentide hym bi the multitude of his merci.
46 And he yaf hem in to mercies; in the siyt of alle men, that hadden take hem.
47 Oure Lord God, make thou vs saaf; and gadere togidere vs fro naciouns. That we knouleche to thin hooli name; and haue glorie in thi preisyng.
48 Blessid be the Lord God of Israel fro the world and til in to the world; and al the puple schal seye, Be it don, be it don.

3 Fro the risyng of the sunne, and fro the goyng doun; fro the north, and fro the see.
4 Thei erriden in wildirnesse, in a place with out watir; thei founden not weie of the citee of dwellyng place.
5 Thei weren hungri and thirsti; her soule failide in hem.
6 And thei crieden to the Lord, whanne thei weren set in tribulacioun; and he delyuerede hem fro her nedynesses.
7 And he ledde forth hem in to the riyt weie; that thei schulden go in to the citee of dwelling.
8 The mercies of the Lord knouleche to hym; and hise merueilis knouleche to the sones of men.
9 For he fillide a voide man; and he fillide with goodis an hungry man.
10 God delyuerede men sittynge in derknessis, and in the schadowe of deth; and men prisoned in beggerye and in yrun.
11 For thei maden bitter the spechis of God; and wraththiden the councel of the hiyeste.
12 And the herte of hem was maad meke in trauelis; and thei weren sijk, and noon was that helpide.
13 And thei crieden to the Lord, whanne thei weren set in tribulacioun; and he delyuerede hem from her nedynessis.
14 And he ledde hem out of derknessis, and schadowe of deth; and brak the boondis of hem.
15 The mercies of the Lord knouleche to hym; and hise merueils knouleche to the sones of men.
16 For he al to-brak brasun yatis; and he brak yrun barris.
17 He vptook hem fro the weie of her wickidnesse; for thei weren maad lowe for her vnriytfulnesses.
18 The soule of hem wlatide al mete; and thei neiyeden `til to the yatis of deth.
19 And thei crieden to the Lord, whanne thei weren set in tribulacioun; and he delyuerede hem fro her nedynessis.
20 He sente his word, and heelide hem; and delyuerede hem fro the perischingis of hem.
21 The mercies of the Lord knouleche to hym; and hise merueils to the sones of men.
22 And offre thei the sacrifice of heriyng; and telle thei hise werkis in ful out ioiyng.
23 Thei that gon doun in to the see in schippis; and maken worching in many watris.
24 Thei sien the werkis of the Lord; and hise merueilis in the depthe.
25 He seide, and the spirit of tempest stood; and the wawis therof weren arerid.
26 Thei stien til to heuenes, and goen doun `til to the depthis; the soule of hem failide in yuelis.
27 Thei weren troblid, and thei weren moued as a drunkun man; and al the wisdom of hem was deuourid.
28 And thei crieden to the Lord, whanne thei weren set in tribulacioun; and he ledde hem out of her nedynessis.
29 And he ordeynede the tempest therof in to a soft wynde; and the wawis therof weren stille.
30 And thei weren glad, for tho weren stille; and he ladde hem forth in to the hauene of her wille.
31 The mercies of the Lord knouleche to hym; and hise merueilis to the sones of men.
32 And enhaunse thei him in the chirche of the puple; and preise thei him in the chaier of eldre men.
33 He hath set floodis in to deseert; and the out goingis of watris in to thirst.
34 He hath set fruytful lond in to saltnesse; for the malice of men dwellyng ther ynne.
35 He hath set deseert in to pondis of watris; and erthe with out watir in to outgoyngis of watris.
36 And he settide there hungri men; and thei maden a citee of dwelling.
37 And thei sowiden feeldis, and plauntiden vynes; and maden fruyt of birthe.
38 And he blesside hem, and thei weren multiplied greetli; and he made not lesse her werk beestis.
39 And thei weren maad fewe; and thei weren trauelid of tribulacioun of yuelis and of sorewis.
40 Strijf was sched out on princes; and he made hem for to erre without the weie, and not in the weie.
41 And he helpide the pore man fro pouert; and settide meynees as a scheep bringynge forth lambren.
42 Riytful men schulen se, and schulen be glad; and al wickidnesse schal stoppe his mouth.
43 Who is wijs, and schal kepe these thingis; and schal vndirstonde the mercies of the Lord?

4 Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee among puplis; and Y schal seie salm to thee among naciouns.
5 For whi, God, thi merci is greet on heuenes; and thi treuthe is til to the cloudis.
6 God, be thou enhaunsid aboue heuenes; and thi glorie ouer al erthe.
7 That thi derlingis be delyuerid, make thou saaf with thi riythond, and here me; God spak in his hooli.
8 I schal make ful out ioye, and Y schal departe Siccimam; and Y schal mete the grete valei of tabernaclis.
9 Galaad is myn, and Manasses is myn; and Effraym is the vptaking of myn heed. Juda is my king; Moab is the caudron of myn hope.
10 In to Ydume Y schal stretche forth my scho; aliens ben maad frendis to me.
11 Who schal lede me forth in to a stronge citee; who schal lede me forth til in to Idume?
12 Whether not thou, God, that hast put vs awei; and, God, schalt thou not go out in oure vertues?
13 Yyue thou help to vs of tribulacioun; for the heelthe of man is veyn.
14 We schulen make vertu in God; and he schal bringe oure enemyes to nouyt.
108 1 The title of the hundrid and eiytthe salm. To victorye, the salm of Dauid.
2 God, holde thou not stille my preisyng; for the mouth of the synner, and the mouth of the gileful man is openyd on me.
3 Thei spaken ayens me with a gileful tunge, and thei cumpassiden me with wordis of hatrede; and fouyten ayens me with out cause.
4 For that thing that thei schulden loue me, thei bacbitiden me; but Y preiede.
5 And thei settiden ayens me yuelis for goodis; and hatrede for my loue.
6 Ordeyne thou a synner on him; and the deuel stonde on his riyt half.
7 Whanne he is demed, go he out condempned; and his preier `be maad in to synne.
8 Hise daies be maad fewe; and another take his bischopriche.
9 Hise sones be maad faderles; and his wijf a widewe.
10 Hise sones tremblinge be born ouer, and begge; and be cast out of her habitaciouns.
11 An vsurere seke al his catel; and aliens rauysche hise trauelis.
12 Noon helpere be to him; nether ony be that haue mercy on hise modirles children.
13 Hise sones be maad in to perisching; the name of him be don awei in oon generacioun.
14 The wickidnesse of hise fadris come ayen in to mynde in the siyt of the Lord; and the synne of his modir be not don awei.
15 Be thei maad euere ayens the Lord; and the mynde of hem perische fro erthe.
16 For that thing that he thouyte not to do merci,
17 and he pursuede a pore man and beggere; and to slee a man compunct in herte.
18 And he louede cursing, and it schal come to hym; and he nolde blessing, and it schal be maad fer fro him. And he clothide cursing as a cloth, and it entride as water in to hise ynnere thingis; and as oile in hise boonus.
19 Be it maad to him as a cloth, with which he is hilyd; and as a girdil, with which he is euere gird.
20 This is the werk of hem that bacbiten me anentis the Lord; and that speke yuels ayens my lijf.
21 And thou, Lord, Lord, do with me for thi name; for thi merci is swete.
22 Delyuere thou me, for Y am nedi and pore; and myn herte is disturblid with ynne me.
23 I am takun awei as a schadowe, whanne it bowith awei; and Y am schakun awei as locustis.
24 Mi knees ben maad feble of fasting; and my fleische was chaungid for oile.
25 And Y am maad schenschipe to hem; thei sien me, and moueden her heedis.
26 Mi Lord God, helpe thou me; make thou me saaf bi thi merci.
27 And thei schulen wite, that this is thin hond; and thou, Lord, hast do it.
28 Thei schulen curse, and thou schalt blesse, thei that risen ayens me, be schent; but thi seruaunt schal be glad.
29 Thei that bacbiten me, be clothid with schame; and be thei hilid with her schenschipe as with a double cloth.
30 I schal knouleche to the Lord greetli with my mouth; and Y schal herie hym in the myddil of many men.

2 The Lord schal sende out fro Syon the yerde of thi vertu; be thou lord in the myddis of thin enemyes.
3 The bigynnyng is with thee in the dai of thi vertu, in the briytnessis of seyntis; Y gendride thee of the wombe before the dai sterre.
4 The Lord swoor, and it schal not repente him; Thou art a preest with outen ende, bi the ordre of Melchisedech.
5 The Lord on thi riyt side; hath broke kyngis in the dai of his veniaunce.
6 He schal deme among naciouns, he schal fille fallyngis; he schal schake heedis in the lond of many men.

4 The Lord merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, hath maad a mynde of hise merueilis;
5 he hath youe meete to men dredynge hym. He schal be myndeful of his testament in to the world;
6 he schal telle to his puple the vertu of hise werkis.
7 That he yyue to hem the eritage of folkis; the werkis of hise hondis ben treuthe and doom.
8 Alle hise comaundementis ben feithful, confermed in to the world of world; maad in treuthe and equite.
9 The Lord sente redempcioun to hys puple; he comaundide his testament with outen ende. His name is hooli and dreedful;

111 1 The `title of the hundrid and enleuenthe salm. Alleluya. Blissid is the man that dredith the Lord; he schal wilne ful myche in hise comaundementis.

3 Glorie and richessis ben in his hous; and his riytfulnesse dwellith in to the world of world.
4 Liyt is risun vp in derknessis to riytful men; the Lord is merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, and riytful.
5 The man is merye, that doith merci, and leeneth; he disposith hise wordis in dom;
6 for he schal not be moued with outen ende.
7 A iust man schal be in euerlastinge mynde; he schal not drede of an yuel heryng. His herte is redi for to hope in the Lord;
8 his herte is confermed, he schal not be moued, til he dispise hise enemyes.
9 He spredde abrood, he yaf to pore men; his riytwisnesse dwellith in to the world of world; his horn schal be reisid in glorie.
10 A synner schal se, and schal be wrooth; he schal gnaste with hise teeth, and schal faile; the desijr of synneris schal perische.

4 The Lord is hiy aboue alle folkis; and his glorie is aboue heuenes.
5 Who is as oure Lord God, that dwellith in hiye thingis;
6 and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?
7 Reisynge a nedi man fro the erthe; and enhaunsinge a pore man fro drit.
8 That he sette hym with princes; with the princes of his puple.
9 Which makith a bareyn womman dwelle in the hous; a glad modir of sones.
113 1 The titil of the hundrid and thrittenthe salm. Alleluya. In the goyng out of Israel fro Egipt; of the hous of Jacob fro the hethene puple.
2 Judee was maad the halewyng of hym; Israel the power of hym.
3 The see siy, and fledde; Jordan was turned abac.
4 Munteyns ful out ioyeden as rammes; and litle hillis as the lambren of scheep.
5 Thou see, what was to thee, for thou fleddist; and thou, Jordan, for thou were turned abak?
6 Munteyns, ye maden ful out ioye as rammes; and litle hillis, as the lambren of scheep.
7 The erthe was moued fro the face of `the Lord; fro the face of God of Jacob.
8 Which turnede a stoon in to pondis of watris; and an hard rooch in to wellis of watris.
9 Lord, not to vs, not to vs; but yyue thou glorie to thi name.
10 On thi merci and thi treuthe; lest ony tyme hethene men seien, Where is the God of hem?
11 Forsothe oure God in heuene; dide alle thingis, whiche euere he wolde.
12 The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of mennus hondis.
13 Tho han mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.
14 Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle.

6 And the Lord kepith litle children; Y was mekid, and he delyuerede me.
7 Mi soule, turne thou in to thi reste; for the Lord hath do wel to thee.

5 I schal yelde my vowis to the Lord bifor al his puple;

7 O! Lord, for Y am thi seruant; Y am thi seruaunt, and the sone of thi handmaide. Thou hast broke my bondys,
8 to thee Y schal offre a sacrifice of heriyng; and Y schal inwardli clepe the name of the Lord.
