| [1]The title of the sixe and twentithe salm. To Dauid. The Lord is my liytnyng, and myn helthe; whom schal Y drede? The Lord is defendere of my lijf; for whom schal Y tremble? |
[1]A Psalm of David. Judge me, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 without wavering. |
| [2]The while noiful men neiyen on me; for to ete my fleischis. Myn enemyes, that trobliden me; thei weren maad sijk and felden doun. |
[2]Examine me, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and try me; test my reins and my heart. |
| [3]Thouy castels stonden togidere ayens me; myn herte schal not drede. Thouy batel risith ayens me; in this thing Y schal haue hope. |
[3]For Thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy truth. |
| [4]I axide of the Lord o thing; Y schal seke this thing; that Y dwelle in the hows of the Lord alle the daies of my lijf. That Y se the wille of the Lord; and that Y visite his temple. |
[4]I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers. |
| [5]For he hidde me in his tabernacle in the dai of yuelis; he defendide me in the hid place of his tabernacle. |
[5]I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked. |
| [6]He enhaunside me in a stoon; and now he enhaunside myn heed ouer myn enemyes. I cumpasside, and offride in his tabernacle a sacrifice of criyng; Y schal synge, and Y schal seie salm to the Lord. |
[6]I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine altar, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, |
| [7]Lord, here thou my vois, bi which Y criede to thee; haue thou merci on me, and here me. |
[7]That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works. |
| [8]Myn herte seide to thee, My face souyte thee; Lord, Y schal seke eft thi face. |
[8]𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth. |
| [9]Turne thou not awei thi face fro me; bouwe thou not awei in ire fro thi seruaunt. Lord, be thou myn helpere, forsake thou not me; and, God, myn helthe, dispise thou not me. |
[9]Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood; |
| [10]For my fadir and my modir han forsake me; but the Lord hath take me. |
[10]In whose hands is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes. |
| [11]Lord, sette thou a lawe to me in thi weie; and dresse thou me in thi path for myn enemyes. |
[11]But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be gracious unto me. |
| [12]Bitake thou not me in to the soules of hem, that troblen me; for wickid witnessis han rise ayens me, and wickydnesse liede to it silf. |
[12]My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
