Psalms 113
Psalms chapter 113 from the John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395)
1 Liouns whelpis rorynge for to rauysche; and to seke of God meete to hem silf. 2 The sunne is risun, and tho ben gaderid togidere; and tho schulen be set in her couchis. 3 A man schal go out to his werk; and to his worching, til to the euentid. 4 Lord, thi werkis ben magnefiede ful myche, thou hast maad alle thingis in wisdom; the erthe is fillid with thi possessioun. 5 This see is greet and large to hondis; there ben crepinge beestis, of which is noon noumbre. Litil beestis with grete; 6 schippis schulen passe there. This dragoun which thou hast formyd; for to scorne hym. 7 Alle thingis abiden of thee; that thou yyue to hem meete in tyme. 8 Whanne thou schalt yyue to hem, thei schulen gadere; whanne thou schalt opene thin hond, alle thingis schulen be fillid with goodnesse. 9 But whanne thou schalt turne awey the face, thei schulen be disturblid; thou schalt take awei the spirit of them, and thei schulen faile; and thei schulen turne ayen in to her dust.
