PSALM CV. Alleluia, Alleluia.

1    noteKnoulecheth to the Lord, for good; for in to the world the mercy of hym. 2   Who shal speke the poweris of the Lord; herd shal make alle the preisingus of hym? 3   Blisful that kepen dom; and don ri&yogh;twissnesse in alle time. 4   Haue mynde of vs, Lord, in the well willing of thi puple; visite thou vs in thi helthe &yogh;yuere. 5   To seen in the goodnesse of thi chosene, to gladen in the gladnesse of thi folc; that thou be preisid with thin eritage. 6   Wee han synned with oure fadris, vnri&yogh;twisly wee han do; wickidnesse wee han wro&yogh;t. 7   Oure fadris in Egipt vnderstoden not thi meruelis; thei weren not myndeful of the multitude of thi mercy. And thei in to the se ste&yogh;ende vp, the rede se, terreden; 8   and he sauede them for his name, that knowen he shulde make his power. 9   And he inbowide the rede se, and it is dried; and he ladde hem in `the se depnessis as in desert. 10   And he sauede hem fro the hond of hateris; and he a&yogh;een bo&yogh;te them fro the hond of the enemy. 11   And water couerede the men trublende them; oon of hem lafte not. 12   And thei leeueden to the woordis of hym; and thei preisiden his preising. 13   Soone thei diden, thei for&yogh;eeten of the werkis of hym; and thei susteneden not his counseil. 14   And thei coueiteden coueiting in desert; and thei tempteden God in the place with oute water. 15   And he &yogh;af to hem the asking

of hem; and he sente fulfilling in to the soulis of hem. 16   And thei terreden Moises in the tentis; Aron, the holy of the Lord. 17   The erthe is opened, and it swolewid doun Dathan; and it couerede vpon the congregacioun of Abiron. 18   And fyr brende vp in the synagoge of hem; and flaume al to-brende the synneres. 19   And thei maden a calf in Oreb; and thei honoureden a grauen thing. 20   And thei chaungeden ther glorie; in to the licnesse of a calf etende hey. 21   Thei for&yogh;eeten God, that sauede hem, that dide grete thingus in Egipt, 22   merueilous thingus in the lond of Cam; ferful thingus in the rede se. And he seide, that he shulde destro&yogh;e them; 23    but Moises, his chosen, hadde stoden in the to-breking in his si&yogh;t. That he turne awei hys wrathe, that he destro&yogh;e them not; 24   and for no&yogh;te they hadden the desirable erthe. They leeuede not to his woord, 25   and thei gruccheden in ther tabernaclis; thei ful out herden not the vois of the Lord. 26   And he rerede vp his hond vpon hem; that he shulde throwe them doun in desert. 27   And that he shulde caste doun the sed of hem in naciouns; and scatere them in regiouns. 28   And thei sacrifieden to Belfegor; and thei eete the sacrifices of the deade. 29   And thei terreden hym in ther findingis; and multiplied is in hem falling. 30   And Fynees stod, and pleside; and the brosing ceside. 31   And it is witid to hym to ri&yogh;twisnesse; in ieneracioun and ieneracioun vnto euermor. 32   And thei terreden hym at the watris of contradiccioun; and Moises is ouertrauailid for hem, 33   and thei to myche sharpeden the spirit of hym. And he ordeynede in his lippis; 34   thei destro&yogh;eden not the Jentilis, that the Lord seide to them. 35   And they be mengd togidere among Jentilis, and thei lerneden ther werkis, 36   and serueden to the grauen thingis of hem; and it is maad to them in to sclaunder. 37   And thei offreden ther

-- --

sones; and ther do&yogh;tris to deuelis. 38   And thei shadden out the innocent blod; the blod of ther sones and of ther do&yogh;tris, that thei sacrifieden to the grauen thingus of Canaan. 39   And the lond is slayn in blodis, and defoulid is in the werkis of hem; and thei diden fornycacioun in ther findingus. 40   And the Lord wrathede in wodnesse in to his puple; and he wlatide his eritage. 41   And toc them in to the hondis of Jentilis; and thei lordshipeden of hem, that hateden hem. 42   And the enemys of them trobleden hem, and thei ben mekid vnder ther hondis; ofte he delyuerede hem. 43   Thei forsothe terreden hym in ther counseil; and ben mekid in ther wickidnessis. 44   And he sa&yogh;, whan thei weren trublid; and herde the orisoun of hem. 45   And myndeful he was of his testament; and it otho&yogh;te hym aftir the multitude of his mercy. 46   And he &yogh;af hem in to mercies; in the si&yogh;te of alle, that hadden take them. 47   Mac vs saf, Lord oure God; and gadere vs fro naciouns. That wee knouleche to thin holi name; and glorien in thi preising. 48   Blessid be the Lord God of Irael fro world and unto world; and al the puple shal sey, Be it do, be it don.
