| [1]The title of the seuene and thrittithe salm. `The salm of Dauid, to bythenke on the sabat. |
[1]A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness. |
| [2]Lord, repreue thou not me in thi strong veniaunce; nether chastice thou me in thin ire. |
[2]For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb. |
| [3]For thin arowis ben fitchid in me; and thou hast confermed thin hond on me. |
[3]Trust in 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness. |
| [4]Noon helthe is in my fleisch fro the face of thin ire; no pees is to my boonys fro the face of my synnes. |
[4]So shalt thou delight thyself in 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart. |
| [5]For my wickidnessis ben goon ouer myn heed; as an heuy birthun, tho ben maad heuy on me. |
[5]Commit thy way unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass. |
| [6]Myn heelid woundis weren rotun, and ben brokun; fro the face of myn vnwisdom. |
[6]And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy right as the noonday. |
| [7]I am maad a wretche, and Y am bowid doun til in to the ende; al dai Y entride sorewful. |
[7]Resign thyself unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. |
| [8]For my leendis ben fillid with scornyngis; and helthe is not in my fleisch. |
[8]Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing. |
| [9]I am turmentid, and maad low ful greetli; Y roride for the weilyng of myn herte. |
[9]For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, they shall inherit the land. |
| [10]Lord, al my desire is bifor thee; and my weilyng is not hid fro thee. |
[10]And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not. |
| [11]Myn herte is disturblid in me, my vertu forsook me; and the liyt of myn iyen `forsook me, and it is not with me. |
[11]But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace. |
| [12]My frendis and my neiyboris neiyiden; and stoden ayens me. And thei that weren bisidis me stoden afer; |
[12]The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth. |
| [13]and thei diden violence, that souyten my lijf. And thei that souyten yuels to me, spaken vanytees; and thouyten gilis al dai. |
[13]The Lord doth laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming. |
| [14]But Y as a deef man herde not; and as a doumb man not openynge his mouth. |
[14]The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way; |
| [15]And Y am maad as a man not herynge; and not hauynge repreuyngis in his mouth. |
[15]Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. |
| [16]For, Lord, Y hopide in thee; my Lord God, thou schalt here me. |
[16]Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked. |
| [17]For Y seide, Lest ony tyme myn enemyes haue ioye on me; and the while my feet ben mouyd, thei spaken grete thingis on me. |
[17]For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but YH upholdeth the righteous. |
| [18]For Y am redi to betyngis; and my sorewe is euere in my siyt. |
[18]𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever. |
| [19]For Y schal telle my wickidnesse; and Y schal thenke for my synne. |
[19]They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. |
| [20]But myn enemyes lyuen, and ben confermed on me; and thei ben multiplyed, that haten me wickidli. |
[20]For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 shall be as the fat of lambs—they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away. |
| [21]Thei that yelden yuels for goodis, backbitiden me; for Y suede goodnesse. |
[21]The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth. |
| [22]My Lord God, forsake thou not me; go thou not awei fro me. |
[22]For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off. |
| [23]Lord God of myn helthe; biholde thou in to myn help. |
[23]It is of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way. |
