| [1]The title of the seuene and thrittithe salm. `The salm of Dauid, to bythenke on the sabat. |
[1]By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity, |
| [2]Lord, repreue thou not me in thi strong veniaunce; nether chastice thou me in thin ire. |
[2]For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade. |
| [3]For thin arowis ben fitchid in me; and thou hast confermed thin hond on me. |
[3]Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy 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]And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to 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]Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh, |
| [6]Myn heelid woundis weren rotun, and ben brokun; fro the face of myn vnwisdom. |
[6]And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day. |
| [7]I am maad a wretche, and Y am bowid doun til in to the ende; al dai Y entride sorewful. |
[7]Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices. |
| [8]For my leendis ben fillid with scornyngis; and helthe is not in my fleisch. |
[8]Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil. |
| [9]I am turmentid, and maad low ful greetli; Y roride for the weilyng of myn herte. |
[9]For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land. |
| [10]Lord, al my desire is bifor thee; and my weilyng is not hid fro thee. |
[10]And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it 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]And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted 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 is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him 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 hath seen that his day cometh. |
| [14]But Y as a deef man herde not; and as a doumb man not openynge his mouth. |
[14]A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way. |
| [15]And Y am maad as a man not herynge; and not hauynge repreuyngis in his mouth. |
[15]Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered. |
| [16]For, Lord, Y hopide in thee; my Lord God, thou schalt here me. |
[16]Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store 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 are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous. |
| [18]For Y am redi to betyngis; and my sorewe is euere in my siyt. |
[18]Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is -- to the age. |
| [19]For Y schal telle my wickidnesse; and Y schal thenke for my synne. |
[19]They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied. |
| [20]But myn enemyes lyuen, and ben confermed on me; and thei ben multiplyed, that haten me wickidli. |
[20]But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed. |
| [21]Thei that yelden yuels for goodis, backbitiden me; for Y suede goodnesse. |
[21]The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving. |
| [22]My Lord God, forsake thou not me; go thou not awei fro me. |
[22]For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off. |
| [23]Lord God of myn helthe; biholde thou in to myn help. |
[23]From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth. |
