Psalms 37
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, nor be thou envious against those who work unrighteousness.
To Dauith. Nile thou sue wickid men; nether loue thou men doynge wickidnesse.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
For thei schulen wexe drie swiftli as hey; and thei schulen falle doun soone as the wortis of eerbis.
3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good. Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness.
Hope thou in the Lord, and do thou goodnesse; and enhabite thou the lond, and thou schalt be fed with hise richessis.
4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
Delite thou in the Lord; and he schal yyue to thee the axyngis of thin herte.
5 Commit thy way to Jehovah. Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.
Schewe thi weie to the Lord; and hope thou in hym, and he schal do.
6 And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy justice as the noon-day.
And he schal lede out thi riytfulnesse as liyt, and thi doom as myddai;
7 Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him. Fret not thyself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
be thou suget to the Lord, and preye thou hym. Nile thou sue hym, that hath prosperite in his weie; a man doynge vnriytfulnessis.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Fret not thyself, it tends only to evil-doing.
Ceese thou of ire, and forsake woodnesse; nyle thou sue, that thou do wickidli.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.
For thei, that doen wickidli, schulen be distried; but thei that suffren the Lord, schulen enerite the lond.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked man shall not be. Yea, thou shall diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
And yit a litil, and a synnere schal not be; and thou schalt seke his place, and schalt not fynde.
11 But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
But mylde men schulen enerite the lond; and schulen delite in the multitude of pees.
12 The wicked man plots against the righteous man, and gnashes upon him with his teeth.
A synnere schal aspie a riytful man; and he schal gnaste with hise teeth on hym.
13 The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
But the Lord schal scorne the synnere; for he biholdith that his day cometh.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill such as are upright in the way.
Synners drowen out swerd; thei benten her bouwe. To disseyue a pore man and nedi; to strangle riytful men of herte.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Her swerd entre in to the herte of hem silf; and her bouwe be brokun.
16 Better is a little that the righteous man has than the abundance of many wicked men.
Betere is a litil thing to a iust man; than many richessis of synneris.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholds the righteous.
For the armes of synneris schal be al to-brokun; but the Lord confermeth iust men.
18 Jehovah knows the days of the perfect, and their inheritance shall be forever.
The Lord knowith the daies of vnwemmed; and her heritage schal be withouten ende.
19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Thei schulen not be schent in the yuel tyme, and thei schulen be fillid in the dayes of hungur;
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah is as the fat of lambs: they shall disintegrate; they shall disintegrate away into smoke.
for synneris schulen perische. Forsothe anoon as the enemyes of the Lord ben onourid, and enhaunsid; thei failynge schulen faile as smoke.
21 The wicked man borrows, and pays not again, but the righteous man deals graciously, and gives.
A synnere schal borewe, and schal not paie; but a iust man hath merci, and schal yyue.
22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land, and those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
For thei that blessen the Lord schulen enerite the lond; but thei that cursen hym schulen perische.
23 A man's goings are established by Jehovah, and he delights in his way.
The goyng of a man schal be dressid anentis the Lord; and he schal wilne his weie.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholds him with his hand.
Whanne he fallith, he schal not be hurtlid doun; for the Lord vndursettith his hond.
25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
I was yongere, and sotheli Y wexide eld, and Y siy not a iust man forsakun; nethir his seed sekynge breed.
26 All the day long he deals graciously, and lends, and his seed is blessed.
Al dai he hath merci, and leeneth; and his seed schal be in blessyng.
27 Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore.
Bouwe thou awei fro yuel, and do good; and dwelle thou in to the world of world.
28 For Jehovah loves justice, and forsakes not his sanctified. They are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
For the Lord loueth doom, and schal not forsake hise seyntis; thei schulen be kept with outen ende. Vniust men schulen be punyschid; and the seed of wickid men schal perische.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever.
But iust men schulen enerite the lond; and schulen enabite theronne in to the world of world.
30 The mouth of a righteous man talks of wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
The mouth of a iust man schal bithenke wisdom; and his tunge schal speke doom.
31 The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
The lawe of his God is in his herte; and hise steppis schulen not be disseyued.
32 A wicked man watches a righteous man, and seeks to kill him.
A synnere biholdith a iust man; and sekith to sle hym.
33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
But the Lord schal not forsake hym in hise hondis; nethir schal dampne hym, whanne it schal be demed ayens hym.
34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land. When sinners are cut off, thou shall see it.
Abide thou the Lord, and kepe thou his weie, and he schal enhaunse thee, that bi eritage thou take the lond; whanne synneris schulen perische, thou schalt se.
35 I have seen a wicked man in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
I siy a wickid man enhaunsid aboue; and reisid vp as the cedris of Liban.
36 But I passed by, and, lo, he was not. Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
And Y passide, and lo! he was not; Y souyte hym, and his place is not foundun.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for there is a happy end to the man of peace.
Kepe thou innocence, and se equite; for tho ben relikis to a pesible man.
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Forsothe vniust men schulen perische; the relifs of wickid men schulen perische togidere.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble,
But the helthe of iust men is of the Lord; and he is her defendere in the tyme of tribulacioun.
40 and Jehovah helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from sinners, and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
And the Lord schal helpe hem, and schal make hem fre, and he schal delyuere hem fro synneris; and he schal saue hem, for thei hopiden in hym.
