PSALM CVI.
The `title of the hundrid and sixte salm.
Alleluya.
1 Knouleche &yogh;e to the Lord, for he is
good; for his merci is in to the world.
2 Sei thei, that ben a&yogh;en bou&yogh;t of the Lord;
whiche he a&yogh;en bou&yogh;te fro the hond of the
enemye, fro cuntreis he gaderide hem togidere.
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 ri&yogh;t 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 hi&yogh;este.
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
&yogh;atis; and he brak yrun barris.
17 He vptook
hem fro the weie of her wickidnesse;
for thei weren maad lowe for her vnri&yogh;tfulnesses.
18 The soule of hem wlatide al
mete; and thei nei&yogh;eden `til to the &yogh;atis
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 Ri&yogh;tful 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?
