Dauid meke and symple made this salm, whanne Palesteyns helden hym in Geth. |
[1]To the chief MusicianH5329[H8764] on NeginothH5058, MaschilH4905[H8688], A Psalm of DavidH1732. Give earH238[H8685] to my prayerH8605, O GodH430; and hideH5956[H8691] not thyself from my supplicationH8467. |
| [2]God, haue thou merci on me, for a man hath defoulid me; al dai he impugnyde, and troublide me. |
[2]AttendH7181[H8685] unto me, and hearH6030[H8798] me: I mournH7300[H8686] in my complaintH7879, H1949and make a noiseH8686 |
| [3]Myn enemyes defouliden me al dai; for manye fiyteris weren ayens me. |
[3]Because of the voiceH6963 of the enemyH341[H8802], becauseH6440 of the oppressionH6125 of the wickedH7563: for they castH4131[H8686] iniquityH205 upon me, and in wrathH639 they hateH7852 meH8799. |
| [4]Of the hiynesse of dai Y schal drede; but God Y schal hope in thee. |
[4]My heartH3820 is sore painedH2342[H8799] withinH7130 me: and the terrorsH367 of deathH4194 are fallenH5307 upon meH8804. |
| [5]In God Y schal preise my wordis; Y hopide in God, Y schal not drede what thing fleisch schal do to me. |
[5]FearfulnessH3374 and tremblingH7461 are comeH935[H8799] upon me, and horrorH6427 hath overwhelmedH3680 meH8762. |
| [6]Al dai thei cursiden my wordis; ayens me alle her thouytis weren in to yuel. |
[6]And I saidH559[H8799], Oh thatH5414[H8799] I had wingsH83 like a doveH3123! for then would I fly awayH5774[H8799], and be at restH7931.[H8799] |
| [7]Thei schulen dwelle, and schulen hide; thei schulen aspie myn heele. |
[7]Lo, then would I wanderH5074[H8800] far offH7368[H8686], and remainH3885[H8799] in the wildernessH4057. SelahH5542. |
| [8]As thei abiden my lijf, for nouyt schalt thou make hem saaf; in ire thou schalt breke togidre puplis. |
[8]I would hastenH2363[H8686] my escapeH4655 from the windyH7307 stormH5584[H8801] and tempestH5591. |
| [9]God, Y schewide my lijf to thee; thou hast set my teeris in thi siyt. As and in thi biheest, Lord; |
[9]DestroyH1104[H8761], O LordH136, and divideH6385[H8761] their tonguesH3956: for I have seenH7200[H8804] violenceH2555 and strifeH7379 in the cityH5892. |
| [10]thanne myn enemyes schulen be turned abak. In what euere dai Y schal inwardli clepe thee; lo! Y haue knowe, that thou art my God. |
[10]DayH3119 and nightH3915 they go aboutH5437[H8779] it upon the wallsH2346 thereof: mischiefH205 also and sorrowH5999 are in the midst of itH7130. |
| [11]In God Y schal preise a word; in the Lord Y schal preyse a word. Y schal hope in God; Y schal not drede what thing a man schal do to me. |
[11]WickednessH1942 is in the midstH7130 thereof: deceitH8496 and guileH4820 departH4185[H8686] not from her streetsH7339. |
| [12]God, thin auowis ben in me; whiche Y schal yelde heriyngis to thee. |
[12]For it was not an enemyH341[H8802] that reproachedH2778[H8762] me; then I could have borneH5375[H8799] it: neither was it he that hatedH8130[H8764] me that did magnifyH1431[H8689] himself against me; then I would have hidH5641 myself from himH8735: |
| [13]For thou hast delyuerid my lijf fro deth, and my feet fro slidyng; that Y pleese bifore God in the liyt of hem that lyuen. |
[13]But it was thou, a manH582 mine equalH6187, my guideH441, and mine acquaintanceH3045.[H8794] |
| [14]We took sweetH4985[H8686] counselH5475 togetherH3162, and walkedH1980[H8762] unto the houseH1004 of GodH430 in companyH7285. |
| [15]Let deathH4194 seizeH5377[H8686][H8675][H3451] upon them, and let them go downH3381[H8799] quickH2416 into hellH7585: for wickednessH7451 is in their dwellingsH4033, and among themH7130. |
| [16]As for me, I will callH7121[H8799] upon GodH430; and the LORDH3068 shall saveH3467 meH8686. |
| [17]EveningH6153, and morningH1242, and at noonH6672, will I prayH7878[H8799], and cry aloudH1993[H8799]: and he shall hearH8085[H8799] my voiceH6963. |
| [18]He hath deliveredH6299[H8804] my soulH5315 in peaceH7965 from the battleH7128 that was against me: for there were many with meH7227. |
| [19]GodH410 shall hearH8085[H8799], and afflictH6030[H8799] them, even he that abidethH3427[H8802] of oldH6924. SelahH5542. Because they have no changesH2487, therefore they fearH3372[H8804] not GodH430. |
| [20]He hath put forthH7971[H8804] his handsH3027 against such as be at peaceH7965 with him: he hath brokenH2490[H8765] his covenantH1285. |
| [21]The words of his mouthH6310 were smootherH2505[H8804] than butterH4260, but warH7128 was in his heartH3820: his wordsH1697 were softerH7401[H8804] than oilH8081, yet were they drawn swordsH6609. |
| [22]CastH7993[H8685] thy burdenH3053 upon the LORDH3068, and he shall sustainH3557[H8770] thee: he shall neverH5769 sufferH5414[H8799] the righteousH6662 to be movedH4131.[H8800] |
| [23]But thou, O GodH430, shalt bring them downH3381[H8686] into the pitH875 of destructionH7845: bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 menH582 shall not live out halfH2673[H8799] their daysH3117; but I will trustH982 in theeH8799. |
