| [1]The `title of the eiyte and seuentithe salm. Of Asaph. |
[1]MaschilH4905[H8688] of AsaphH623. Give earH238[H8685], O my peopleH5971, to my lawH8451: inclineH5186[H8685] your earsH241 to the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310. |
| [2]Thei settiden the slayn bodies of thi seruauntis, meetis to the volatilis of heuenes; the fleischis of thi seyntis to the beestis of the erthe. |
[2]I will openH6605[H8799] my mouthH6310 in a parableH4912: I will utterH5042[H8686] dark sayingsH2420 of oldH6924: |
| [3]Thei schedden out the blood of hem, as watir in the cumpas of Jerusalem; and noon was that biriede. |
[3]Which we have heardH8085[H8804] and knownH3045[H8799], and our fathersH1 have toldH5608 usH8765. |
| [4]We ben maad schenschipe to oure neiyboris; mowynge and scornynge to hem, that ben in oure cumpas. |
[4]We will not hideH3582[H8762] them from their childrenH1121, shewingH5608[H8764] to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5807, and his wonderful worksH6381[H8737] that he hath doneH6213.[H8804] |
| [5]Lord, hou longe schalt thou be wrooth in to the ende? schal thi veniaunce be kyndelid as fier? |
[5]For he establishedH6965[H8686] a testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, and appointedH7760[H8804] a lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, which he commandedH6680[H8765] our fathersH1, that they should make them knownH3045[H8687] to their childrenH1121: |
| [6]Schede out thin ire in to hethene men, that knowen not thee; and in to rewmes, that clepiden not thi name. |
[6]That the generationH1755 to comeH314 might knowH3045[H8799] them, even the childrenH1121 which should be bornH3205[H8735]; who should ariseH6965[H8799] and declareH5608[H8762] them to their childrenH1121: |
| [7]For thei eeten Jacob; and maden desolat his place. |
[7]That they might setH7760[H8799] their hopeH3689 in GodH430, and not forgetH7911[H8799] the worksH4611 of GodH410, but keepH5341[H8799] his commandmentsH4687: |
| [8]Haue thou not mynde on oure elde wickidnesses; thi mercies bifore take vs soone, for we ben maad pore greetli. |
[8]And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637[H8802] and rebelliousH4784[H8802] generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559[H8689], and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539[H8738] with GodH410. |
| [9]God, oure heelthe, helpe thou vs, and, Lord, for the glorie of thi name delyuer thou vs; and be thou merciful to oure synnes for thi name. |
[9]The childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, being armedH5401[H8802], and carryingH7411[H8802] bowsH7198, turned backH2015[H8804] in the dayH3117 of battleH7128. |
| [10]Lest perauenture thei seie among hethene men, Where is the God of hem? and be he knowun among naciouns bifore oure iyen. The veniaunce of the blood of thi seruauntis, which is sched out; the weilyng of feterid men entre in thi siyt. |
[10]They keptH8104[H8804] not the covenantH1285 of GodH430, and refusedH3985[H8765] to walkH3212[H8800] in his lawH8451; |
| [11]Vpe the greetnesse of thin arm; welde thou the sones of slayn men. |
[11]And forgatH7911[H8799] his worksH5949, and his wondersH6381[H8737] that he had shewedH7200 themH8689. |
| [12]And yelde thou to oure neiyboris seuenfoold in the bosum of hem; the schenschip of hem, which thei diden schenschipfuli to thee, thou Lord. |
[12]Marvellous thingsH6382 didH6213[H8804] he in the sightH5048 of their fathersH1, in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814. |
| [13]But we that ben thi puple, and the scheep of thi leesewe; schulen knouleche to thee in to the world. In generacioun and in to generacioun; we schulen telle thin heriyng. |
[13]He dividedH1234[H8804] the seaH3220, and caused them to pass throughH5674[H8686]; and he made the watersH4325 to standH5324[H8686] as an heapH5067. |
| [14]In the daytimeH3119 also he ledH5148[H8686] them with a cloudH6051, and all the nightH3915 with a lightH216 of fireH784. |
| [15]He claveH1234[H8762] the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057, and gave them drinkH8248[H8686] as out of the greatH7227 depthsH8415. |
| [16]He broughtH3318[H8686] streamsH5140[H8802] also out of the rockH5553, and caused watersH4325 to run downH3381[H8686] like riversH5104. |
| [17]And they sinnedH2398[H8800] yet moreH3254[H8686] against him by provokingH4784[H8687] the most HighH5945 in the wildernessH6723. |
| [18]And they temptedH5254[H8762] GodH410 in their heartH3824 by askingH7592[H8800] meatH400 for their lustH5315. |
| [19]Yea, they spakeH1696[H8762] against GodH430; they saidH559[H8804], CanH3201[H8799] GodH410 furnishH6186[H8800] a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057? |
| [20]Behold, he smoteH5221[H8689] the rockH6697, that the watersH4325 gushed outH2100[H8799], and the streamsH5158 overflowedH7857[H8799]; canH3201[H8799] he giveH5414[H8800] breadH3899 also? canH3201[H8799] he provideH3559[H8686] fleshH7607 for his peopleH5971? |
| [21]Therefore the LORDH3068 heardH8085[H8804] this, and was wrothH5674[H8691]: so a fireH784 was kindledH5400[H8738] against JacobH3290, and angerH639 also came upH5927[H8804] against IsraelH3478; |
| [22]Because they believedH539[H8689] not in GodH430, and trustedH982[H8804] not in his salvationH3444: |
| [23]Though he had commandedH6680[H8762] the cloudsH7834 from aboveH4605, and openedH6605[H8804] the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064, |
| [24]And had rained downH4305[H8686] mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398[H8800], and had givenH5414[H8804] them of the cornH1715 of heavenH8064. |
| [25]ManH376 did eatH398[H8804] angels'H47 foodH3899: he sentH7971[H8804] them meatH6720 to the fullH7648. |
| [26]He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265[H8686] in the heavenH8064: and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090[H8762] the south windH8486. |
| [27]He rainedH4305[H8686] fleshH7607 also upon them as dustH6083, and featheredH3671 fowlsH5775 like as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220: |
| [28]And he let it fallH5307[H8686] in the midstH7130 of their campH4264, round aboutH5439 their habitationsH4908. |
| [29]So they did eatH398[H8799], and were wellH3966 filledH7646[H8799]: for he gaveH935[H8686] them their own desireH8378; |
| [30]They were not estrangedH2114[H8804] from their lustH8378. But while their meatH400 was yet in their mouthsH6310, |
| [31]The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927[H8804] upon them, and slewH2026[H8799] the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766[H8689] the chosenH970 men of IsraelH3478. |
| [32]For all this they sinnedH2398[H8804] still, and believedH539[H8689] not for his wondrous worksH6381.[H8737] |
| [33]Therefore their daysH3117 did he consumeH3615[H8762] in vanityH1892, and their yearsH8141 in troubleH928. |
| [34]When he slewH2026[H8804] them, then they soughtH1875[H8804] him: and they returnedH7725[H8804] and enquired earlyH7836[H8765] after GodH410. |
| [35]And they rememberedH2142[H8799] that GodH430 was their rockH6697, and the highH5945 GodH410 their redeemerH1350.[H8802] |
| [36]Nevertheless they did flatterH6601[H8762] him with their mouthH6310, and they liedH3576[H8762] unto him with their tonguesH3956. |
| [37]For their heartH3820 was not rightH3559[H8737] with him, neither were they stedfastH539[H8738] in his covenantH1285. |
| [38]But he, being full of compassionH7349, forgaveH3722[H8762] their iniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843[H8686] them not: yea, many a timeH7235[H8689] turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725[H8687], and did not stir upH5782[H8686] all his wrathH2534. |
| [39]For he rememberedH2142[H8799] that they were but fleshH1320; a windH7307 that passeth awayH1980[H8802], and cometh not againH7725.[H8799] |
| [40]HowH4100 oft did they provokeH4784[H8686] him in the wildernessH4057, and grieveH6087[H8686] him in the desertH3452! |
| [41]Yea, they turned backH7725[H8799] and temptedH5254[H8762] GodH410, and limitedH8428[H8689] the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. |
| [42]They rememberedH2142[H8804] not his handH3027, nor the dayH3117 when he deliveredH6299[H8804] them from the enemyH6862. |
| [43]How he had wroughtH7760[H8804] his signsH226 in EgyptH4714, and his wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814: |
| [44]And had turnedH2015[H8799] their riversH2975 into bloodH1818; and their floodsH5140[H8802], that they could not drinkH8354.[H8799] |
| [45]He sentH7971[H8762] divers sorts of fliesH6157 among them, which devouredH398[H8799] them; and frogsH6854, which destroyedH7843 themH8686. |
| [46]He gaveH5414[H8799] also their increaseH2981 unto the caterpillerH2625, and their labourH3018 unto the locustH697. |
| [47]He destroyedH2026[H8799] their vinesH1612 with hailH1259, and their sycomore treesH8256 with frostH2602. |
| [48]He gave upH5462[H8686] their cattleH1165 also to the hailH1259, and their flocksH4735 to hot thunderboltsH7565. |
| [49]He castH7971[H8762] upon them the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, wrathH5678, and indignationH2195, and troubleH6869, by sendingH4917 evilH7451 angels among themH4397. |
| [50]He madeH6424[H8762] a wayH5410 to his angerH639; he sparedH2820[H8804] not their soulH5315 from deathH4194, but gaveH5462 their lifeH2416 overH5462[H8689] to the pestilenceH1698; |
| [51]And smoteH5221[H8686] all the firstbornH1060 in EgyptH4714; the chiefH7225 of their strengthH202 in the tabernaclesH168 of HamH2526: |
| [52]But made his own peopleH5971 to go forthH5265[H8686] like sheepH6629, and guidedH5090[H8762] them in the wildernessH4057 like a flockH5739. |
| [53]And he ledH5148[H8686] them on safelyH983, so that they fearedH6342[H8804] not: but the seaH3220 overwhelmedH3680[H8765] their enemiesH341.[H8802] |
| [54]And he broughtH935[H8686] them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuaryH6944, even to this mountainH2022, which his right handH3225 had purchasedH7069.[H8804] |
| [55]He cast outH1644[H8762] the heathenH1471 also beforeH6440 them, and dividedH5307[H8686] them an inheritanceH5159 by lineH2256, and made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931[H8686] in their tentsH168. |
| [56]Yet they temptedH5254[H8762] and provokedH4784[H8686] the most highH5945 GodH430, and keptH8104[H8804] not his testimoniesH5713: |
| [57]But turned backH5472[H8735], and dealt unfaithfullyH898[H8799] like their fathersH1: they were turned asideH2015[H8738] like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198. |
| [58]For they provoked him to angerH3707[H8686] with their high placesH1116, and moved him to jealousyH7065[H8686] with their graven imagesH6456. |
| [59]When GodH430 heardH8085[H8804] this, he was wrothH5674[H8691], and greatlyH3966 abhorredH3988[H8799] IsraelH3478: |
| [60]So that he forsookH5203[H8799] the tabernacleH4908 of ShilohH7887, the tentH168 which he placedH7931[H8765] among menH120; |
| [61]And deliveredH5414[H8799] his strengthH5797 into captivityH7628, and his gloryH8597 into the enemy'sH6862 handH3027. |
| [62]He gaveH5462 his peopleH5971 overH5462[H8686] also unto the swordH2719; and was wrothH5674[H8694] with his inheritanceH5159. |
| [63]The fireH784 consumedH398[H8804] their young menH970; and their maidensH1330 were not given to marriageH1984.[H8795] |
| [64]Their priestsH3548 fellH5307[H8804] by the swordH2719; and their widowsH490 made no lamentationH1058.[H8799] |
| [65]Then the LordH136 awakedH3364[H8799] as one out of sleepH3463, and like a mighty manH1368 that shoutethH7442[H8711] by reason of wineH3196. |
| [66]And he smoteH5221[H8686] his enemiesH6862 in the hinder partsH268: he putH5414[H8804] them to a perpetualH5769 reproachH2781. |
| [67]Moreover he refusedH3988[H8799] the tabernacleH168 of JosephH3130, and choseH977[H8804] not the tribeH7626 of EphraimH669: |
| [68]But choseH977[H8799] the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063, the mountH2022 ZionH6726 which he lovedH157.[H8804] |
| [69]And he builtH1129[H8799] his sanctuaryH4720 like highH7311[H8802] palaces, like the earthH776 which he hath establishedH3245[H8804] for everH5769. |
| [70]He choseH977[H8799] DavidH1732 also his servantH5650, and tookH3947[H8799] him from the sheepfoldsH4356:[H6629] |
| [71]From followingH310 the ewes great with youngH5763[H8802] he broughtH935[H8689] him to feedH7462[H8800] JacobH3290 his peopleH5971, and IsraelH3478 his inheritanceH5159. |
| [72]So he fedH7462[H8686] them according to the integrityH8537 of his heartH3824; and guidedH5148[H8686] them by the skilfulnessH8394 of his handsH3709. |
