< Psalms 25 >

1 A psalm of David. Lord, I come to worship you.
To Dauid.
2 I trust in you, my God. Don't let me be humiliated, and don't let my enemies triumph over me.
Lord, to thee Y haue reisid my soule; my God, Y truste in thee, be Y not aschamed.
3 No one who trusts in you will be humiliated, but humiliation comes to those who are deliberately dishonest.
Nethir myn enemyes scorne me; for alle men that suffren thee schulen not be schent.
4 Show me your ways, Lord; teach me to follow your paths.
Alle men doynge wickyd thingis superfluli; be schent. Lord, schewe thou thi weies to me; and teche thou me thi pathis.
5 Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. All day long I put my trust in you.
Dresse thou me in thi treuthe, and teche thou me, for thou art God my sauyour; and Y suffride thee al dai.
6 Remember, Lord, your compassion and trustworthy love—they are eternal!
Lord, haue thou mynde of thi merciful doyngis; and of thi mercies that ben fro the world.
7 Please don't remember the sins of my youth when I rebelled against you. Instead, remember me according to your trustworthy love, remember me because of your goodness, Lord.
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 The Lord is good and he is right; that is why he shows the way to those who are lost.
The Lord is swete and riytful; for this he schal yyue a lawe to men trespassynge in the weie.
9 He leads those who are humble in doing what's right, teaching them his way.
He schal dresse deboner men in doom; he schal teche mylde men hise weies.
10 The Lord's paths are those of trustworthy love and truth for those who keep his agreement and do as he says.
Alle the weies of the Lord ben mercy and treuthe; to men sekynge his testament, and hise witnessyngis.
11 Lord, because of your nature, forgive my many sins.
Lord, for thi name thou schalt do merci to my synne; for it is myche.
12 Who are those who respect the Lord? He will show them the path to choose.
Who is a man, that dredith the Lord? he ordeyneth to hym a lawe in the weie which he chees.
13 They will continue to be prosperous, and their descendants will inherit the land.
His soule schal dwelle in goodis; and his seed schal enerite the lond.
14 The Lord is friends with those who respect him, explaining to them his agreement.
The Lord is a sadnesse to men dredynge hym; and his testament is, that it be schewid to hem.
15 I always look to the Lord, for he rescues me when I'm trapped.
Myn iyen ben euere to the Lord; for he schal breide awey my feet fro the snare.
16 Watch over me and be good to me, because I am all alone and suffering.
Biholde thou on me, and haue thou mercy on me; for Y am
17 My problems get bigger and bigger. Please save me from all I'm going through.
oon aloone and pore The tribulaciouns of myn herte ben multiplied; delyuere thou me of my nedis.
18 See all my troubles and trials. Please forgive my sins.
Se thou my mekenesse and my trauel; and foryyue thou alle my trespassis.
19 Look at how many enemies I have, and how they really hate me!
Bihold thou myn enemyes, for thei ben multiplied; and thei haten me bi wickid hatrede.
20 Please look after me and save me! Don't let me be humiliated, for you are the one who protects me.
Kepe thou my soule, and delyuere thou me; be Y not aschamed, for Y hopide in thee.
21 May integrity and honesty defend me because I place my confidence in you.
Innocent men and riytful cleuyden to me; for Y suffride thee.
22 God, please deliver the people of Israel from all their troubles!
God, delyuere thou Israel; fro alle hise tribulaciouns.
