Psalms 67 Comparison: Wycliffe Bible (1395) vs King James Version
Psalms 67
1The titil of the seuene and sixtithe salm. To the victorie, the salm `of the song `of Dauid.
2God rise vp, and hise enemyes be scaterid; and thei that haten hym fle fro his face.
3As smoke failith, faile thei; as wax fletith fro the face of fier, so perische synneris fro the face of God.
4And iust men eete, and make fulli ioye in the siyt of God; and delite thei in gladnesse.
5Synge ye to God, seie ye salm to his name; make ye weie to hym, that stieth on the goyng doun, the Lord is name to hym. Make ye fulli ioye in his siyt, enemyes schulen be disturblid fro the face of hym,
6which is the fadir of fadirles and modirles children; and the iuge of widewis.
7God is in his hooli place; God that makith men of o wille to dwelle in the hous. Which leedith out bi strengthe hem that ben boundun; in lijk maner hem that maken scharp, that dwellen in sepulcris.
8God, whanne thou yedist out in the siyt of thi puple; whanne thou passidist forth in the desert.
9The erthe was moued, for heuenes droppiden doun fro the face of God of Synay; fro the face of God of Israel.
10God, thou schalt departe wilful reyn to thin eritage, and it was sijk; but thou madist it parfit.
11Thi beestis schulen dwelle therynne; God, thou hast maad redi in thi swetnesse to the pore man.
12The Lord schal yyue a word; to hem that prechen the gospel with myche vertu.
13The kyngis of vertues ben maad loued of the derlyng; and to the fairnesse of the hous to departe spuylis.
14If ye slepen among the myddil of eritagis, the fetheris of the culuer ben of siluer; and the hyndrere thingis of the bak therof ben in the shynyng of gold.
15While the king of heuene demeth kyngis theronne, thei schulen be maad whitter then snow in Selmon;
16the hille of God is a fat hille. The cruddid hil is a fat hil;
17wherto bileuen ye falsli, cruddid hillis? The hil in which it plesith wel God to dwelle ther ynne; for the Lord schal dwelle `in to the ende.
18The chare of God is manyfoold with ten thousynde, a thousynde of hem that ben glad; the Lord was in hem, in Syna, in the hooli.
19Thou stiedist an hiy, thou tokist caitiftee; thou resseyuedist yiftis among men. For whi thou tokist hem that bileueden not; for to dwelle in the Lord God.
20Blessid be the Lord ech dai; the God of oure heelthis schal make an eesie wei to vs.
21Oure God is God to make men saaf; and outgoyng fro deeth is of the Lord God.
22Netheles God schal breke the heedis of hise enemyes; the cop of the heere of hem that goen in her trespassis.
23The Lord seide, Y schal turne fro Basan; Y schal turne in to the depthe of the see.
24That thi foot be deppid in blood; the tunge of thi doggis be dippid in blood of the enemyes of hym.
25God, thei sien thi goyngis yn; the goyngis yn of my God, of my king, which is in the hooli.
26Prynces ioyned with syngeris camen bifore; in the myddil of yonge dameselis syngynge in tympans.
27In chirchis blesse ye God; blesse ye the Lord fro the wellis of Israel.
28There Beniamyn, a yonge man; in the rauyschyng of mynde. The princis of Juda weren the duykis of hem; the princis of Zabulon, the princis of Neptalym.
29God, comaunde thou to thi vertu; God, conferme thou this thing, which thou hast wrouyt in vs.
30Fro thi temple, which is in Jerusalem; kyngis schulen offre yiftis to thee.
31Blame thou the wielde beestis of the reheed, the gaderyng togidere of bolis is among the kien of puplis; that thei exclude hem that ben preuyd bi siluer. Distrie thou folkis that wolen batels,
32legatis schulen come fro Egipt; Ethiopie schal come bifore the hondis therof to God.
33Rewmes of the erthe, synge ye to God; seie ye salm to the Lord.
34Singe ye to God; that stiede on the heuene of heuene at the eest. Lo! he schal yyue to his vois the vois of vertu, yyue ye glorie to God on Israel;
35his greet doyng and his vertu is in the cloudis.
36God is wondirful in hise seyntis; God of Israel, he schal yyue vertu, and strengthe to his puple; blessid be God.

3Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
4O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
5Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

7God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
