| [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]A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. Truly GodH430 is goodH2896 to IsraelH3478, even to such as are of a cleanH1249 heartH3824. |
| [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]But as for me, my feetH7272 were almostH4592 goneH5186[H8804][H8675][H5186][H8803]; my stepsH838 had well nighH369 slippedH8210.[H8795] |
| [3]Reise thin hondis in to the prides of hem; hou grete thingis the enemy dide wickidli in the hooli. |
[3]For I was enviousH7065[H8765] at the foolishH1984[H8802], when I sawH7200[H8799] the prosperityH7965 of the wickedH7563. |
| [4]And thei that hatiden thee; hadden glorie in the myddis of thi solempnete. |
[4]For there are no bandsH2784 in their deathH4194: but their strengthH193 is firmH1277. |
| [5]Thei settiden her signes, `ethir baneris, signes on the hiyeste, as in the outgoing; and thei knewen not. |
[5]They are not in troubleH5999 as other menH582; neither are they plaguedH5060[H8792] likeH5973 other menH120. |
| [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]Therefore prideH1346 compasseth them about as a chainH6059[H8804]; violenceH2555 coverethH5848[H8799] them as a garmentH7897. |
| [7]Thei brenten with fier thi seyntuarie; thei defouliden the tabernacle of thi name in erthe. |
[7]Their eyesH5869 stand outH3318[H8804] with fatnessH2459: they have moreH5674[H8804] than heartH3824 could wishH4906. |
| [8]The kynrede of hem seiden togidere in her herte; Make we alle the feest daies of God to ceesse fro the erthe. |
[8]They are corruptH4167[H8686], and speakH1696[H8762] wickedlyH7451 concerning oppressionH6233: they speakH1696[H8762] loftilyH4791. |
| [9]We han not seyn oure signes, now `no profete is; and he schal no more knowe vs. |
[9]They setH8371[H8804] their mouthH6310 against the heavensH8064, and their tongueH3956 walkethH1980[H8799] through the earthH776. |
| [10]God, hou long schal the enemye seie dispit? the aduersarie territh to ire thi name in to the ende. |
[10]Therefore his peopleH5971 returnH7725[H8799][H8675][H7725][H8686] hitherH1988: and watersH4325 of a fullH4392 cup are wrung outH4680 to themH8735. |
| [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]And they sayH559[H8804], How doth GodH410 knowH3045[H8804]? and is thereH3426 knowledgeH1844 in the most HighH5945? |
| [12]Forsothe God oure kyng bifore worldis; wrouyte heelthe in the mydis of erthe. |
[12]Behold, these are the ungodlyH7563, who prosperH7961 in the worldH5769; they increaseH7685[H8689] in richesH2428. |
| [13]Thou madist sad the see bi thi vertu; thou hast troblid the heedis of dragouns in watris. |
[13]Verily I have cleansedH2135[H8765] my heartH3824 in vainH7385, and washedH7364[H8799] my handsH3709 in innocencyH5356. |
| [14]Thou hast broke the heedis of `the dragoun; thou hast youe hym to mete to the puplis of Ethiopiens. |
[14]For all the dayH3117 long have I been plaguedH5060[H8803], and chastenedH8433 every morningH1242. |
| [15]Thou hast broke wellis, and strondis; thou madist drie the flodis of Ethan. |
[15]If I sayH559[H8804], I will speakH5608[H8762] thusH3644; behold, I should offendH898[H8804] against the generationH1755 of thy childrenH1121. |
| [16]The dai is thin, and the niyt is thin; thou madist the moreutid and the sunne. |
[16]When I thoughtH2803[H8762] to knowH3045[H8800] this, it was too painfulH5999 for meH5869; |
| [17]Thou madist alle the endis of erthe; somer and veer tyme, thou fourmedist tho. |
[17]Until I wentH935[H8799] into the sanctuaryH4720 of GodH410; then understoodH995[H8799] I their endH319. |
| [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]Surely thou didst setH7896[H8799] them in slippery placesH2513: thou castedst them downH5307[H8689] into destructionH4876. |
| [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]How are they brought into desolationH8047, as in a momentH7281! they are utterlyH5486[H8804] consumedH8552[H8804] with terrorsH1091. |
| [20]Biholde in to thi testament; for thei that ben maad derk of erthe, ben fillid with the housis of wickidnessis. |
[20]As a dreamH2472 when one awakethH6974[H8687]; so, O LordH136, when thou awakestH5782, thou shalt despiseH959[H8799] their imageH6754. |
| [21]A meke man be not turned awei maad aschamed; a pore man and nedi schulen herie thi name. |
[21]Thus my heartH3824 was grievedH2556[H8691], and I was prickedH8150[H8709] in my reinsH3629. |
| [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]So foolishH1198 was I, and ignorantH3045[H8799]: I was as a beast before theeH929. |
| [23]Foryete thou not the voices of thin enemyes; the pride of hem that haten thee, stieth euere. |
[23]Nevertheless I am continuallyH8548 with thee: thou hast holdenH270[H8804] me by my rightH3225 handH3027. |
| [24]Thou shalt guideH5148[H8686] me with thy counselH6098, and afterwardH310 receiveH3947[H8799] me to gloryH3519. |
| [25]Whom have I in heavenH8064 but thee? and there is none upon earthH776 that I desireH2654 beside theeH8804. |
| [26]My fleshH7607 and my heartH3824 failethH3615[H8804]: but GodH430 is the strengthH6697 of my heartH3824, and my portionH2506 for everH5769. |
| [27]For, lo, they that are farH7369 from thee shall perishH6[H8799]: thou hast destroyedH6789[H8689] all them that go a whoringH2181 from theeH8802. |
| [28]ButH589 it is goodH2896 for me to draw nearH7132 to GodH430: I have putH7896[H8804] my trustH4268 in the LordH136 GODH3069, that I may declareH5608[H8763] all thy worksH4399. |
