Psalms 59
Psalms chapter 59 from the John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395)
1 Thei schulen be brouyt in gladnesse, and ful out ioiyng; thei schulen be brouyt in to the temple of the kyng.
2 Sones ben borun to thee, for thi fadris; thou schalt ordeyne hem princes on al erthe.
3 Lord, thei schulen be myndeful of thi name; in ech generacioun, and in to generacioun. Therfor puplis schulen knouleche to thee withouten ende; and in to the world of world.
5 The title of the five and fourtithe salm. To the ouercomere, the song of the sones of Chore, for yongthis.
6 Oure God, thou art refuyt, and vertu; helpere in tribulacions, that han founde vs greetly.
7 Therfor we schulen not drede, while the erthe schal be troblid; and the hillis schulen be borun ouer in to the herte of the see.
8 The watris of hem sowneden, and weren troblid; hillis weren troblid togidere in the strengthe of hym.
9 The feersnesse of flood makith glad the citee of God; the hiyeste God hath halewid his tabernacle.
10 God in the myddis therof schal not be moued; God schal helpe it eerli in the grey morewtid.
11 Hethene men weren disturblid togidere, and rewmes weren bowid doun; God yaf his vois, the erthe was moued.
12 The Lord of vertues is with vs; God of Jacob is oure vptakere.
13 Come ye, and se the werkis of the Lord; whiche wondris he hath set on the erthe.
14 He doynge awei batels til to the ende of the lond; schal al to-brese bouwe, and schal breke togidere armuris, and schal brenne scheldis bi fier.
15 Yyue ye tent, and se ye, that Y am God; Y schal be enhaunsid among hethene men; and Y schal be enhaunsid in erthe.
16 The Lord of vertues is with vs; God of Jacob is oure vptakere.
