Psalms 27
1 [A Psalm] of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
To Dauid. The Lord is my liytnyng, and myn helthe; whom schal Y drede? The Lord is defendere of my lijf; for whom schal Y tremble?
2 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, [Even] mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
The while noiful men neiyen on me; for to ete my fleischis. Myn enemyes, that trobliden me; thei weren maad sijk and felden doun.
3 Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.
Thouy castels stonden togidere ayens me; myn herte schal not drede. Thouy batel risith ayens me; in this thing Y schal haue hope.
4 One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple.
I axide of the Lord o thing; Y schal seke this thing; that Y dwelle in the hows of the Lord alle the daies of my lijf. That Y se the wille of the Lord; and that Y visite his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.
For he hidde me in his tabernacle in the dai of yuelis; he defendide me in the hid place of his tabernacle.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.
He enhaunside me in a stoon; and now he enhaunside myn heed ouer myn enemyes. I cumpasside, and offride in his tabernacle a sacrifice of criyng; Y schal synge, and Y schal seie salm to the Lord.
7 Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
Lord, here thou my vois, bi which Y criede to thee; haue thou merci on me, and here me.
8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.
Myn herte seide to thee, My face souyte thee; Lord, Y schal seke eft thi face.
9 Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Turne thou not awei thi face fro me; bouwe thou not awei in ire fro thi seruaunt. Lord, be thou myn helpere, forsake thou not me; and, God, myn helthe, dispise thou not me.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Jehovah will take me up.
For my fadir and my modir han forsake me; but the Lord hath take me.
11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies.
Lord, sette thou a lawe to me in thi weie; and dresse thou me in thi path for myn enemyes.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty.
Bitake thou not me in to the soules of hem, that troblen me; for wickid witnessis han rise ayens me, and wickydnesse liede to it silf.
13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living.
I bileue to see the goodis of the Lord; in the lond of `hem that lyuen.
14 Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah.
Abide thou the Lord, do thou manli; and thin herte be coumfortid, and suffre thou the Lord.
