Psalms 32
1 Of David. Instruction. Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!
Lernyng to Dauid. Blessid ben thei, whose wickidnessis ben foryouun; and whose synnes ben hilid.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!
Blessid is the man, to whom the Lord arrettide not synne; nethir gile is in his spirit.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long.
For Y was stille, my boonys wexiden elde; while Y criede al dai.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)
For bi dai and nyyt thin `hond was maad greuouse on me; Y am turned in my wretchednesse, while the thorn is set in.
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
I made my synne knowun to thee; and Y hidde not my vnriytfulnesse. I seide, Y schal knouleche ayens me myn vnriytfulnesse to the Lord; and thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of my synne.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.
For this thing ech hooli man schal preye to thee; in couenable tyme. Netheles in the greet flood of many watris; tho schulen not neiye to thee.
7 Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Thou art my refuyt fro tribulacioun, that cumpasside me; thou, my fulli ioiyng, delyuere me fro hem that cumpassen me.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine eye upon thee.
Y schal yyue vnderstondyng to thee, and Y schal teche thee; in this weie in which thou schalt go, Y schal make stidefast myn iyen on thee.
9 Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.
Nile ye be maad as an hors and mule; to whiche is noon vndurstondyng. Lord, constreyne thou the chekis of hem with a bernacle and bridil; that neiyen not to thee.
10 Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.
Many betyngis ben of the synnere; but merci schal cumpasse hym that hopith in the Lord.
11 Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.
Ye iust men, be glad, and make fulli ioie in the Lord; and alle ye riytful of herte, haue glorie.
