[1]The title of the oon and thrittithe salm. Lernyng to Dauid. Blessid ben thei, whose wickidnessis ben foryouun; and whose synnes ben hilid.[2]Blessid is the man, to whom the Lord arrettide not synne; nethir gile is in his spirit.[3]For Y was stille, my boonys wexiden elde; while Y criede al dai.[4]For bi dai and nyyt thin `hond was maad greuouse on me; Y am turned in my wretchednesse, while the thorn is set in.[5]I made my synne knowun to thee; and Y hidde not my vnriytfulnesse. I seide, Y schal knouleche ayens me myn vnriytfulnesse to the Lord; and thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of my synne.[6]For this thing ech hooli man schal preye to thee; in couenable tyme. Netheles in the greet flood of many watris; tho schulen not neiye to thee.[7]Thou art my refuyt fro tribulacioun, that cumpasside me; thou, my fulli ioiyng, delyuere me fro hem that cumpassen me.[8]Y schal yyue vnderstondyng to thee, and Y schal teche thee; in this weie in which thou schalt go, Y schal make stidefast myn iyen on thee.[9]Nile ye be maad as an hors and mule; to whiche is noon vndurstondyng. Lord, constreyne thou the chekis of hem with a bernacle and bridil; that neiyen not to thee.[10]Many betyngis ben of the synnere; but merci schal cumpasse hym that hopith in the Lord.[11]Ye iust men, be glad, and make fulli ioie in the Lord; and alle ye riytful of herte, haue glorie.[12][No verse][13][No verse][14][No verse][15][No verse][16][No verse][17][No verse][18][No verse][19][No verse][20][No verse][21][No verse][22][No verse][23][No verse][24][No verse]
