Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;
For the ignoraunce of Dauid, which he songe to the Lord on the wordis of Ethiopien, the sone of Gemyny. Mi Lord God, Y haue hopid in thee; make thou me saaf fro alle that pursuen me, and delyuere thou me.
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.
Lest ony tyme he as a lioun rauysche my soule; the while noon is that ayenbieth, nether that makith saaf.
3 Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;
Mi Lord God, if Y dide this thing, if wickidnesse is in myn hondis;
4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me; )
if Y `yeldide to men yeldynge to me yuels, falle Y `bi disseruyng voide fro myn enemyes;
5 Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take [it], and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
myn enemy pursue my soule, and take, and defoule my lijf in erthe; and brynge my glorie in to dust.
6 Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.
Lord, rise thou vp in thin ire; and be thou reysid in the coostis of myn enemyes.
7 And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high.
And, my Lord God, rise thou in the comaundement, which thou `hast comaundid; and the synagoge of puplis schal cumpasse thee.
8 Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.
And for this go thou ayen an hiy; the Lord demeth puplis. Lord, deme thou me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi myn innocence on me.
9 Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous [man]; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God.
The wickidnesse of synneris be endid; and thou, God, sekyng the hertis and reynes, schalt dresse a iust man.
10 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
Mi iust help is of the Lord; that makith saaf riytful men in herte.
11 God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant all the day.
The Lord is a iust iuge, stronge and pacient; whether he is wrooth bi alle daies?
12 If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,
If ye ben `not conuertid, he schal florische his swerd; he hath bent his bouwe, and made it redi.
13 And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.
And therynne he hath maad redi the vessels of deth; he hath fulli maad his arewis with brennynge thingis.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:
Lo! he conseyuede sorewe; he peynfuli brouyte forth vnriytfulnesse, and childide wickidnesse.
15 He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.
He openide a lake, and diggide it out; and he felde in to the dich which he made.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
His sorewe schal be turned in to his heed; and his wickidnesse schal come doun in to his necke.
17 I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High.
I schal knouleche to the Lord bi his riytfulnesse; and Y schal synge to the name of the hiyeste Lord.
