| [1]`The nyntithe salm. He that dwellith in the help of the hiyeste God; schal dwelle in the proteccioun of God of heuene. |
[1]A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou -- Thou hast been, To us -- in generation and generation, |
| [2]He schal seie to the Lord, Thou art myn vptaker, and my refuit; my God, Y schal hope in him. |
[2]Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God. |
| [3]For he delyuered me fro the snare of hunteris; and fro a scharp word. |
[3]Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men. |
| [4]With hise schuldris he schal make schadowe to thee; and thou schalt haue hope vnder hise fetheris. |
[4]For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night. |
| [5]His treuthe schal cumpasse thee with a scheld; thou schalt not drede of nyytis drede. |
[5]Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth. |
| [6]Of an arowe fliynge in the dai, of a gobelyn goynge in derknessis; of asailing, and a myddai feend. |
[6]In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered. |
| [7]A thousynde schulen falle doun fro thi side, and ten thousynde fro thi riytside; forsothe it schal not neiye to thee. |
[7]For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled. |
| [8]Netheles thou schalt biholde with thin iyen; and thou schalt se the yelding of synneris. |
[8]Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face, |
| [9]For thou, Lord, art myn hope; thou hast set thin help altherhiyeste. |
[9]For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation. |
| [10]Yuel schal not come to thee; and a scourge schal not neiye to thi tabernacle. |
[10]Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away. |
| [11]For God hath comaundid to hise aungels of thee; that thei kepe thee in alle thi weies. |
[11]Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear -- Thy wrath? |
| [12]Thei schulen beere thee in the hondis; leste perauenture thou hirte thi foot at a stoon. |
[12]To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom. |
| [13]Thou schalt go on a snake, and a cocatrice; and thou schalt defoule a lioun and a dragoun. |
[13]Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants. |
| [14]For he hopide in me, Y schal delyuere hym; Y schal defende him, for he knew my name. |
[14]Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days. |
| [15]He criede to me, and Y schal here him, Y am with him in tribulacioun; Y schal delyuere him, and Y schal glorifie hym. |
[15]Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil. |
| [16]I schal fille hym with the lengthe of daies; and Y schal schewe myn helthe to him. |
[16]Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons. |
| 17[No verse] |
[17]And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it! |
