| [1]`The title of the fyue and thrittithe salm. `To victorie, to Dauid, `the seruaunt of the Lord. |
[1]A Psalm of DavidH1732. PleadH7378[H8798] my cause, O LORDH3068, with them that striveH3401 with me: fightH3898[H8798] against them that fightH3898 against meH8802. |
| [2]The vniust man seide, that he trespasse in hym silf; the drede of God is not bifor hise iyen. |
[2]Take holdH2388[H8685] of shieldH4043 and bucklerH6793, and stand upH6965[H8798] for mine helpH5833. |
| [3]For he dide gilefuli in the siyt of God; that his wickidnesse be foundun to hatrede. |
[3]Draw outH7324[H8685] also the spearH2595, and stopH5462[H8798] the way againstH7125[H8800] them that persecuteH7291[H8802] me: sayH559[H8798] unto my soulH5315, I am thy salvationH3444. |
| [4]The wordis of his mouth ben wickidnesse and gile, he nolde vndirstonde to do wel. |
[4]Let them be confoundedH954[H8799] and put to shameH3637[H8735] that seekH1245[H8764] after my soulH5315: let them be turnedH5472[H8735] backH268 and brought to confusionH2659[H8799] that deviseH2803[H8802] my hurtH7451. |
| [5]He thouyte wickidnesse in his bed, he stood nyy al weie not good; forsothe he hatide not malice. |
[5]Let them be as chaffH4671 beforeH6440 the windH7307: and let the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 chaseH1760 themH8802. |
| [6]Lord, thi merci is in heuene; and thi treuthe is `til to cloudis. |
[6]Let their wayH1870 be darkH2822 and slipperyH2519: and let the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 persecuteH7291 themH8802. |
| [7]Thi riytfulnesse is as the hillis of God; thi domes ben myche depthe of watris. Lord, thou schalt saue men and beestis; |
[7]For without causeH2600 have they hidH2934[H8804] for me their netH7568 in a pitH7845, which without causeH2600 they have diggedH2658[H8804] for my soulH5315. |
| [8]as thou, God, hast multiplied thi merci. But the sones of men; schulen hope in the hilyng of thi wyngis. |
[8]Let destructionH7722 comeH935[H8799] upon him at unawaresH3045[H8799][H3808]; and let his netH7568 that he hath hidH2934[H8804] catchH3920[H8799] himself: into that very destructionH7722 let him fallH5307.[H8799] |
| [9]Thei schulen be fillid gretli of the plentee of thin hows; and thou schalt yyue drynke to hem with the steef streem of thi likyng. |
[9]And my soulH5315 shall be joyfulH1523[H8799] in the LORDH3068: it shall rejoiceH7797[H8799] in his salvationH3444. |
| [10]For the wel of life is at thee; and in thi liyt we schulen se liyt. |
[10]All my bonesH6106 shall sayH559[H8799], LORDH3068, who is like unto thee, which deliverestH5337[H8688] the poorH6041 from him that is too strongH2389 for him, yea, the poorH6041 and the needyH34 from him that spoilethH1497 himH8802? |
| [11]Lord, sette forth thi mercy to hem, that knowen thee; and thi ryytfulnesse to hem that ben of riytful herte. |
[11]FalseH2555 witnessesH5707 did rise upH6965[H8799]; they laid to my chargeH7592[H8799] things that I knewH3045 notH8804. |
| [12]The foot of pryde come not to me; and the hond of the synnere moue me not. |
[12]They rewardedH7999[H8762] me evilH7451 for goodH2896 to the spoilingH7908 of my soulH5315. |
| [13]There thei felden doun, that worchen wickidnesse; thei ben cast out, and myyten not stonde. |
[13]But as for me, when they were sickH2470[H8800], my clothingH3830 was sackclothH8242: I humbledH6031[H8765] my soulH5315 with fastingH6685; and my prayerH8605 returnedH7725[H8799] into mine own bosomH2436. |
| [14]I behavedH1980[H8694] myself as though he had been my friendH7453 or brotherH251: I bowed downH7817[H8804] heavilyH6937[H8802], as one that mournethH57 for his motherH517. |
| [15]But in mine adversityH6761 they rejoicedH8055[H8804], and gathered themselves togetherH622[H8738]: yea, the abjectsH5222 gathered themselves togetherH622[H8738] against me, and I knewH3045[H8804] it not; they did tearH7167[H8804] me, and ceasedH1826 notH8804: |
| [16]With hypocriticalH2611 mockersH3934 in feastsH4580, they gnashedH2786[H8800] upon me with their teethH8127. |
| [17]LordH136, how long wilt thou look onH7200[H8799]? rescueH7725[H8685] my soulH5315 from their destructionsH7722, my darlingH3173 from the lionsH3715. |
| [18]I will give thee thanksH3034[H8686] in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: I will praiseH1984[H8762] thee among muchH6099 peopleH5971. |
| [19]Let not them that are mine enemiesH341[H8802] wrongfullyH8267 rejoiceH8055[H8799] over me: neither let them winkH7169[H8799] with the eyeH5869 that hateH8130[H8802] me without a causeH2600. |
| [20]For they speakH1696[H8762] not peaceH7965: but they deviseH2803[H8799] deceitfulH4820 mattersH1697 against them that are quietH7282 in the landH776. |
| [21]Yea, they opened their mouthH6310 wideH7337[H8686] against me, and saidH559[H8804], AhaH1889, ahaH1889, our eyeH5869 hath seenH7200 itH8804. |
| [22]This thou hast seenH7200[H8804], O LORDH3068: keep not silenceH2790[H8799]: O LordH136, be not farH7368 from meH8799. |
| [23]Stir upH5782[H8685] thyself, and awakeH6974[H8685] to my judgmentH4941, even unto my causeH7379, my GodH430 and my LordH136. |
| [24]JudgeH8199[H8798] me, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, according to thy righteousnessH6664; and let them not rejoiceH8055 over meH8799. |
| [25]Let them not sayH559[H8799] in their heartsH3820, AhH1889, so would we have itH5315: let them not sayH559[H8799], We have swallowed him upH1104.[H8765] |
| [26]Let them be ashamedH954[H8799] and brought to confusionH2659[H8799] togetherH3162 that rejoiceH8056 at mine hurtH7451: let them be clothedH3847[H8799] with shameH1322 and dishonourH3639 that magnifyH1431 themselves against meH8688. |
| [27]Let them shout for joyH7442[H8799], and be gladH8055[H8799], that favourH2655 my righteous causeH6664: yea, let them sayH559[H8799] continuallyH8548, Let the LORDH3068 be magnifiedH1431[H8799], which hath pleasureH2655 in the prosperityH7965 of his servantH5650. |
| [28]And my tongueH3956 shall speakH1897[H8799] of thy righteousnessH6664 and of thy praiseH8416 all the day longH3117. |
