Psalms 25
1 Of David. To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up.
To Dauid.
2 O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.
Lord, to thee Y haue reisid my soule; my God, Y truste in thee, be Y not aschamed.
3 Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.
Nethir myn enemyes scorne me; for alle men that suffren thee schulen not be schent.
4 Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.
Alle men doynge wickyd thingis superfluli; be schent. Lord, schewe thou thi weies to me; and teche thou me thi pathis.
5 Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.
Dresse thou me in thi treuthe, and teche thou me, for thou art God my sauyour; and Y suffride thee al dai.
6 O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.
Lord, haue thou mynde of thi merciful doyngis; and of thi mercies that ben fro the world.
7 Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.
Haue thou not mynde on the trespassis of my yongthe; and on myn vnkunnyngis. Thou, Lord, haue mynde on me bi thi merci; for thi goodnesse.
8 Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.
The Lord is swete and riytful; for this he schal yyue a lawe to men trespassynge in the weie.
9 He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.
He schal dresse deboner men in doom; he schal teche mylde men hise weies.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness.
Alle the weies of the Lord ben mercy and treuthe; to men sekynge his testament, and hise witnessyngis.
11 Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.
Lord, for thi name thou schalt do merci to my synne; for it is myche.
12 If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.
Who is a man, that dredith the Lord? he ordeyneth to hym a lawe in the weie which he chees.
13 His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.
His soule schal dwelle in goodis; and his seed schal enerite the lond.
14 The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.
The Lord is a sadnesse to men dredynge hym; and his testament is, that it be schewid to hem.
15 My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.
Myn iyen ben euere to the Lord; for he schal breide awey my feet fro the snare.
16 Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper.
Biholde thou on me, and haue thou mercy on me; for Y am
17 The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.
oon aloone and pore The tribulaciouns of myn herte ben multiplied; delyuere thou me of my nedis.
18 Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins.
Se thou my mekenesse and my trauel; and foryyue thou alle my trespassis.
19 See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.
Bihold thou myn enemyes, for thei ben multiplied; and thei haten me bi wickid hatrede.
20 O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you.
Kepe thou my soule, and delyuere thou me; be Y not aschamed, for Y hopide in thee.
21 For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you.
Innocent men and riytful cleuyden to me; for Y suffride thee.
22 Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles.
God, delyuere thou Israel; fro alle hise tribulaciouns.
