[1]The title of the thre and seuentithe salm. The lernyng of Asaph. God, whi hast thou put awei in to the ende; thi strong veniaunce is wrooth on the scheep of thi leesewe? [1]מִזְמֹ֗ור לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אַ֤ךְ טֹ֭וב לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל אֱלֹהִ֗ים לְבָרֵ֥י לֵבָֽב׃
[2]Be thou myndeful of thi gadering togidere; which thou haddist in possessioun fro the bigynnyng. Thou ayenbouytist the yerde of thin eritage; the hille of Syon in which thou dwellidist ther ynne. [2]וַאֲנִ֗י כִּ֭מְעַט [נָטוּי כ] (נָטָ֣יוּ ק) רַגְלָ֑י כְּ֝אַ֗יִן [שֻׁפְּכָה כ] (שֻׁפְּכ֥וּ ק) אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃
[3]Reise thin hondis in to the prides of hem; hou grete thingis the enemy dide wickidli in the hooli. [3]כִּֽי־קִ֭נֵּאתִי בַּֽהֹולְלִ֑ים שְׁלֹ֖ום רְשָׁעִ֣ים אֶרְאֶֽה׃
[4]And thei that hatiden thee; hadden glorie in the myddis of thi solempnete. [4]כִּ֤י אֵ֖ין חַרְצֻבֹּ֥ות לְמֹותָ֗ם וּבָרִ֥יא אוּלָֽם׃
[5]Thei settiden her signes, `ethir baneris, signes on the hiyeste, as in the outgoing; and thei knewen not. [5]בַּעֲמַ֣ל אֱנֹ֣ושׁ אֵינֵ֑מֹו וְעִם־אָ֝דָ֗ם לֹ֣א יְנֻגָּֽעוּ׃
[6]As in a wode of trees thei heweden doun with axis the yatis therof in to it silf; thei castiden doun it with an ax, and a brood fallinge ax. [6]לָ֭כֵן עֲנָקַ֣תְמֹו גַאֲוָ֑ה יַעֲטָףשִׁ֝֗־ית חָמָ֥ס לָֽמֹו׃
[7]Thei brenten with fier thi seyntuarie; thei defouliden the tabernacle of thi name in erthe. [7]יָ֭צָא מֵחֵ֣לֶב עֵינֵ֑מֹו עָ֝בְר֗וּ מַשְׂכִּיֹּ֥ות לֵבָֽב׃
[8]The kynrede of hem seiden togidere in her herte; Make we alle the feest daies of God to ceesse fro the erthe. [8]יָמִ֤יקוּ ׀ וִידַבְּר֣וּ בְרָ֣ע עֹ֑שֶׁק מִמָּרֹ֥ום יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃
[9]We han not seyn oure signes, now `no profete is; and he schal no more knowe vs. [9]שַׁתּ֣וּ בַשָּׁמַ֣יִם פִּיהֶ֑ם וּ֝לְשֹׁונָ֗ם תִּֽהֲלַ֥ךְ בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
[10]God, hou long schal the enemye seie dispit? the aduersarie territh to ire thi name in to the ende. [10]לָכֵ֤ן ׀ [יָשִׁיב כ] (יָשׁ֣וּב ק) עַמֹּ֣ו הֲלֹ֑ם וּמֵ֥י מָ֝לֵ֗א יִמָּ֥צוּ לָֽמֹו׃
[11]Whi turnest thou awei thin hoond, and `to drawe out thi riythond fro the myddis of thi bosum, til in to the ende? [11]וְֽאָמְר֗וּ אֵיכָ֥ה יָדַֽע־אֵ֑ל וְיֵ֖שׁ דֵּעָ֣ה בְעֶלְיֹֽון׃
[12]Forsothe God oure kyng bifore worldis; wrouyte heelthe in the mydis of erthe. [12]הִנֵּה־אֵ֥לֶּה רְשָׁעִ֑ים וְשַׁלְוֵ֥י עֹ֝ולָ֗ם הִשְׂגּוּ־חָֽיִל׃
[13]Thou madist sad the see bi thi vertu; thou hast troblid the heedis of dragouns in watris. [13]אַךְ־רִ֭יק זִכִּ֣יתִי לְבָבִ֑י וָאֶרְחַ֖ץ בְּנִקָּיֹ֣ון כַּפָּֽי׃
[14]Thou hast broke the heedis of `the dragoun; thou hast youe hym to mete to the puplis of Ethiopiens. [14]וָאֱהִ֣י נָ֭גוּעַ כָּל־הַיֹּ֑ום וְ֝תֹוכַחְתִּ֗י לַבְּקָרִֽים׃
[15]Thou hast broke wellis, and strondis; thou madist drie the flodis of Ethan. [15]אִם־אָ֭מַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָ֥ה כְמֹ֑ו הִנֵּ֤ה דֹ֭ור בָּנֶ֣יךָ בָגָֽדְתִּי׃
[16]The dai is thin, and the niyt is thin; thou madist the moreutid and the sunne. [16]וָֽ֭אֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַ֣עַת זֹ֑את עָמָ֖ל [הִיא כ] (ה֣וּא ק) בְעֵינָֽי׃
[17]Thou madist alle the endis of erthe; somer and veer tyme, thou fourmedist tho. [17]עַד־אָ֭בֹוא אֶל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵ֑ל אָ֝בִ֗ינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָֽם׃
[18]Be thou myndeful of this thing, the enemye hath seid schenschip to the Lord; and the vnwijs puple hath excitid to ire thi name. [18]אַ֣ךְ בַּ֭חֲלָקֹות תָּשִׁ֣ית לָ֑מֹו הִ֝פַּלְתָּ֗ם לְמַשּׁוּאֹֽות׃
[19]Bitake thou not to beestis men knoulechenge to thee; and foryete thou not in to the ende the soulis of thi pore men. [19]אֵ֤יךְ הָי֣וּ לְשַׁמָּ֣ה כְרָ֑גַע סָ֥פוּ תַ֝֗מּוּ מִן־בַּלָּהֹֽות׃
[20]Biholde in to thi testament; for thei that ben maad derk of erthe, ben fillid with the housis of wickidnessis. [20]כַּחֲלֹ֥ום מֵהָקִ֑יץ אֲ֝דֹנָי בָּעִ֤יר ׀ צַלְמָ֬ם תִּבְזֶֽה׃
[21]A meke man be not turned awei maad aschamed; a pore man and nedi schulen herie thi name. [21]כִּ֭י יִתְחַמֵּ֣ץ לְבָבִ֑י וְ֝כִלְיֹותַ֗י אֶשְׁתֹּונָֽן׃
[22]God, rise vp, deme thou thi cause; be thou myndeful of thin vpbreidyngis, of tho that ben al dai of the vnwise man. [22]וַאֲנִי־בַ֭עַר וְלֹ֣א אֵדָ֑ע בְּ֝הֵמֹ֗ות הָיִ֥יתִי עִמָּֽךְ׃
[23]Foryete thou not the voices of thin enemyes; the pride of hem that haten thee, stieth euere. [23]וַאֲנִ֣י תָמִ֣יד עִמָּ֑ךְ אָ֝חַ֗זְתָּ בְּיַד־יְמִינִֽי׃
24[No verse] [24]בַּעֲצָתְךָ֥ תַנְחֵ֑נִי וְ֝אַחַ֗ר כָּבֹ֥וד תִּקָּחֵֽנִי׃
25[No verse] [25]מִי־לִ֥י בַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְ֝עִמְּךָ֗ לֹא־חָפַ֥צְתִּי בָאָֽרֶץ׃
26[No verse] [26]כָּלָ֥ה שְׁאֵרִ֗י וּלְבָ֫בִ֥י צוּר־לְבָבִ֥י וְחֶלְקִ֗י אֱלֹהִ֥ים לְעֹולָֽם׃
27[No verse] [27]כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה רְחֵקֶ֣יךָ יֹאבֵ֑דוּ הִ֝צְמַ֗תָּה כָּל־זֹונֶ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃
