[1] The hundrid and thridde salm. Mi soule, blesse thou the Lord; my Lord God, thou art magnyfied greetli. Thou hast clothid knouleching and fairnesse; and thou art clothid with liyt,
[2] as with a cloth. And thou stretchist forth heuene as a skyn;
[3] and thou hilist with watris the hiyer partis therof. Which settist a cloude thi stiyng; which goest on the fetheris of wyndis.
[4] Which makist spiritis thin aungels; and thi mynystris brennynge fier.
[5] Which hast foundid the erthe on his stablenesse; it schal not be bowid in to the world of world.
[6] The depthe of watris as a cloth is the clothing therof; watris schulen stonde on hillis.
[7] Tho schulen fle fro thi blamyng; men schulen be aferd of the vois of thi thundur.
[8] Hillis stien vp, and feeldis goen doun; in to the place which thou hast foundid to tho.
[9] Thou hast set a terme, which tho schulen not passe; nether tho schulen be turned, for to hile the erthe.
[10] And thou sendist out wellis in grete valeis; watris schulen passe bitwix the myddil of hillis.
[11] Alle the beestis of the feeld schulen drynke; wielde assis schulen abide in her thirst.
[12] Briddis of the eir schulen dwelle on tho; fro the myddis of stoonys thei schulen yyue voices.
[13] And thou moistist hillis of her hiyer thingis; the erthe schal be fillid of the fruyt of thi werkis.
[14] And thou bringist forth hei to beestis; and eerbe to the seruyce of men. That thou bringe forth breed of the erthe;
[15] and that wiyn make glad the herte of men. That he make glad the face with oile; and that breed make stidefast the herte of man.
[16] The trees of the feeld schulen be fillid, and the cedris of the Liban, whiche he plauntide;
[17] sparewis schulen make nest there. The hous of the gerfaukun is the leeder of tho;
[18] hiye hillis ben refute to hertis; a stoon is refutt to irchouns.
[19] He made the moone in to tymes; the sunne knewe his goyng doun.
[20] Thou hast set derknessis, and nyyt is maad; alle beestis of the wode schulen go ther ynne.
[21] Liouns whelpis rorynge for to rauysche; and to seke of God meete to hem silf.
[22] The sunne is risun, and tho ben gaderid togidere; and tho schulen be set in her couchis.
