Psalms 81

¹ And he schal be lord fro the-see til to the see; and fro the flood til to the endis of the world. 2 Ethiopiens schulen falle doun bifore hym; and hise enemyes schulen licke the erthe. 3 The kyngis of Tarsis and ilis schulen offre yiftis; the kyngis of Arabie and of Saba schulen brynge yiftis. 4 And alle kyngis schulen worschipe hym; alle folkis schulen serue hym. 5 For he schal delyuer a pore man fro the miyti; and a pore man to whom was noon helpere. 6 He schal spare a pore man and nedi; and he schal make saaf the soulis of pore men. 7 He schal ayen bie the soulis of hem fro vsuris, and wickidnesse; and the name of hem is onourable bifor hym. 8 And he schal lyue, and me schal yyue to hym of the gold of Arabie; and thei schulen euere worschipe of hym, al dai thei schulen blesse hym. 9 Stidefastnesse schal be in the erthe, in the hiyeste places of mounteyns; the fruyt therof schal be enhaunsid aboue the Liban; and thei schulen blosme fro the citee, as the hey of erthe doith. 10 His name be blessid in to worldis; his name dwelle bifore the sunne. And all the lynagis of erthe schulen be blessid in hym; alle folkis schulen magnyfie hym. 11 Blessid be the Lord God of Israel; which aloone makith merueiylis. 12 Blessid be the name of his maieste with outen ende; and al erthe schal be fillid with his maieste; be it doon, be it doon. 13 The preieris of Dauid, the sone of Ysay, ben endid. ¹⁵ The title of the two and seuentithe salm. The salm of Asaph. God of Israel is ful good; to hem that ben of riytful herte. ¹⁶ But my feet weren moued almeest; my steppis weren sched out almeest.
