Psalms 128 Comparison: Wycliffe Bible (1395) vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 128
1The `title of the hundrid and eiyte and twentithe `salm. The song of greces. Israel seie now; Ofte thei fouyten ayens me fro my yongth.
2Ofte thei fouyten ayens me fro my yongthe; and sotheli thei miyten not to me.
3Synneris forgeden on my bak; thei maden long her wickidnesse.
4The `iust Lord schal beete the nollis of synneris;
5alle that haten Sion be schent, and turned abak.
6Be thei maad as the hey of hous coppis; that driede vp, bifore that it be drawun vp.
7Of which hei he that schal repe, schal not fille his hond; and he that schal gadere hondfullis, schal not fille his bosum.
8And thei that passiden forth seiden not, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we blessiden you in the name of the Lord.
Psalms 128
1Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
