Wycliffe - Psalms - 77

77:1  The `title of the seuene and seuentithe salm. The lernyng of Asaph. Mi puple, perseyue ye my lawe; bowe youre eere in to the wordis of my mouth.

77:2  I schal opene my mouth in parablis; Y schal speke perfite resouns fro the bigynnyng.

77:3  Hou grete thingis han we herd, aud we han knowe tho; and oure fadris. telden to vs.

77:4  Tho ben not hid fro the sones of hem; in anothir generacioun. And thei telden the heriyngis of the Lord, and the vertues of hym; and hise merueilis, whyche he dide.

77:5  And he reiside witnessyng in Jacob; and he settide lawe in Israel. Hou grete thingis comaundide he to oure fadris, to make tho knowun to her sones;

77:6  that another generacioun knowe. Sones, that schulen be born, and schulen rise vp; schulen telle out to her sones.

77:7  That thei sette her hope in God, and foryete not the werkis of God; and that thei seke hise comaundementis.

77:8  Lest thei be maad a schrewid generacioun; and terrynge to wraththe, as the fadris of hem. A generacioun that dresside not his herte; and his spirit was not bileued with God.

77:9  The sones of Effraym, bendinge a bouwe and sendynge arowis; weren turned in the dai of batel.

77:10  Thei kepten not the testament of God; and thei nolden go in his lawe.

77:11  And thei foryaten hise benefices; and hise merueils, whiche he schewide to hem.

77:12  He dide merueils bifore the fadris of hem in the loond of Egipt; in the feeld of Taphneos.

77:13  He brak the see, and ledde hem thorou; and he ordeynede the watris as in a bouge.

77:14  And he ledde hem forth in a cloude of the dai; and al niyt in the liytnyng of fier.

77:15  He brak a stoon in deseert; and he yaf watir to hem as in a myche depthe.

77:16  And he ledde watir out of the stoon; and he ledde forth watris as floodis.

77:17  And thei `leiden to yit to do synne ayens hym; thei excitiden hiye God in to ire, in a place with out water.

77:18  And thei temptiden God in her hertis; that thei axiden meetis to her lyues.

77:19  And thei spaken yuel of God; thei seiden, Whether God may make redi a bord in desert?

77:20  For he smoot a stoon, and watris flowiden; and streemys yeden out in aboundaunce. Whether also he may yyue breed; ether make redi a bord to his puple?

77:21  Therfor the Lord herde, and delaiede; and fier was kindelid in Jacob, and the ire of God stiede on Israel.

77:22  For thei bileueden not in God; nether hopiden in his heelthe.

77:23  And he comaundide to the cloudis aboue; and he openyde the yatis of heuene.

77:24  And he reynede to hem manna for to eete; and he yaf to hem breed of heuene.

77:25  Man eet the breed of aungels; he sent to hem meetis in aboundance.

77:26  He turnede ouere the south wynde fro heuene; and he brouyte in bi his vertu the weste wynde.

77:27  And he reynede fleischis as dust on hem; and `he reinede volatils fethered, as the grauel of the see.

77:28  And tho felden doun in the myddis of her castels; aboute the tabernaclis of hem.

77:29  And thei eeten, and weren fillid greetli, and he brouyte her desire to hem;

77:30  thei weren not defraudid of her desier. Yit her metis weren in her mouth;

77:31  and the ire of God stiede on hem. And he killide the fatte men of hem; and he lettide the chosene men of Israel.

77:32  In alle these thingis thei synneden yit; and bileuede not in the merueils of God.

77:33  And the daies of hem failiden in vanytee; and the yeeris of hem faileden with haste.

77:34  Whanne he killide hem, thei souyten hym; and turneden ayen, and eerli thei camen to hym.

77:35  And thei bithouyten, that God is the helper of hem; and `the hiy God is the ayenbier of hem.

77:36  And thei loueden hym in her mouth; and with her tunge thei lieden to hym.

77:37  Forsothe the herte of hem was not riytful with hym; nethir thei weren had feithful in his testament.

77:38  But he is merciful, and he schal be maad merciful to the synnes of hem; and he schal not destrie hem. And he dide greetli, to turne awei his yre; and he kyndelide not al his ire.

77:39  And he bithouyte, that thei ben fleische; a spirit goynge, and not turnynge ayen.

77:40  Hou oft maden thei hym wrooth in desert; thei stireden hym in to ire in a place with out watir.

77:41  And thei weren turned, and temptiden God; and thei wraththiden the hooli of Israel.

77:42  Thei bithouyten not on his hond; in the dai in the which he ayen bouyte hem fro the hond of the trobler.

77:43  As he settide hise signes in Egipt; and hise grete wondris in the feeld of Taphneos.

77:44  And he turnede the flodis of hem and the reynes of hem in to blood; that thei schulden not drynke.

77:45  He sente a fleisch flie in to hem, and it eet hem; and he sente a paddok, and it loste hem.

77:46  And he yaf the fruytis of hem to rust; and he yaf the trauels of hem to locustis.

77:47  And he killide the vynes of hem bi hail; and the moore trees of hem bi a frost.

77:48  And he bitook the beestis of hem to hail; and the possessioun of hem to fier.

77:49  He sente in to hem the ire of his indignacioun; indignacioun, and ire, and tribulacioun, sendingis in bi iuel aungels.

77:50  He made weie to the path of his ire, and he sparide not fro the deth of her lyues; and he closide togidere in deth the beestis of hem.

77:51  And he smoot al the first gendrid thing in the lond of Egipt; the first fruytis of alle the trauel of hem in the tabernaclis of Cham.

77:52  And he took awei his puple as scheep; and he ledde hem forth as a flok in desert.

77:53  And he ledde hem forth in hope, and thei dredden not; and the see hilide the enemyes of hem.

77:54  And he brouyte hem in to the hil of his halewyng; in to the hil which his riythond gat. And he castide out hethene men fro the face of hem; and bi lot he departide to hem the lond in a cord of delyng.

77:55  And he made the lynagis of Israel to dwelle in the tabernaclis of hem.

77:56  And thei temptiden, and wraththiden heiy God; and thei kepten not hise witnessyngis.

77:57  And thei turneden awei hem silf, and thei kepten not couenaunt; as her fadris weren turned in to a schrewid bouwe.

77:58  Thei stiriden him in to ire in her litle hillis; and thei terriden hym to indignacioun of her grauen ymagis.

77:59  God herde, and forsook; and brouyte to nouyt Israel greetli.

77:60  And he puttide awei the tabernacle of Sylo; his tabernacle where he dwellide among men.

77:61  And he bitook the vertu of hem in to caitiftee; and the fairnesse of hem in to the hondis of the enemye.

77:62  And he closide togidere his puple in swerd; and he dispiside his erytage.

77:63  Fier eet the yonge men of hem; and the virgyns of hem weren not biweilid.

77:64  The prestis of hem fellen doun bi swerd; and the widewis of hem weren not biwept.

77:65  And the Lord was reisid, as slepynge; as miyti greetli fillid of wiyn.

77:66  And he smoot hise enemyes on the hynderere partis; he yaf to hem euerlastyng schenschipe.

77:67  And he puttide awei the tabernacle of Joseph; and he chees not the lynage of Effraym.

77:68  But he chees the lynage of Juda; he chees the hil of Syon, which he louede.

77:69  And he as an vnicorn bildide his hooli place; in the lond, which he foundide in to worldis.

77:70  And he chees Dauid his seruaunt, and took hym vp fro the flockis of scheep; he took hym fro bihynde scheep with lambren.

77:71  To feed Jacob his seruaunt; and Israel his eritage.

77:72  And he fedde hem in the innocens of his herte; and he ledde hem forth in the vndurstondyngis of his hondis.
