< Psalms 25 >
1 A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, lift I vp my soule.
To Dauid.
2 My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies reioyce ouer mee.
Lord, to thee Y haue reisid my soule; my God, Y truste in thee, be Y not aschamed.
3 So all that hope in thee, shall not be ashamed: but let them be confounded, that transgresse without cause.
Nethir myn enemyes scorne me; for alle men that suffren thee schulen not be schent.
4 Shew me thy waies, O Lord, and teache me thy paths.
Alle men doynge wickyd thingis superfluli; be schent. Lord, schewe thou thi weies to me; and teche thou me thi pathis.
5 Leade me foorth in thy trueth, and teache me: for thou art the God of my saluation: in thee doe I trust 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 Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy louing kindnesse: for they haue beene for euer.
Lord, haue thou mynde of thi merciful doyngis; and of thi mercies that ben fro the world.
7 Remember not the sinnes of my youth, nor my rebellions, but according to thy kindenesse remember thou me, euen for thy goodnesse sake, O 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 Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way.
The Lord is swete and riytful; for this he schal yyue a lawe to men trespassynge in the weie.
9 Them that be meeke, will hee guide in iudgement, and teach the humble his way.
He schal dresse deboner men in doom; he schal teche mylde men hise weies.
10 All the pathes of the Lord are mercie and trueth vnto such as keepe his couenant and his testimonies.
Alle the weies of the Lord ben mercy and treuthe; to men sekynge his testament, and hise witnessyngis.
11 For thy Names sake, O Lord, be merciful vnto mine iniquitie, for it is great.
Lord, for thi name thou schalt do merci to my synne; for it is myche.
12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him wil he teache the way that hee shall chuse.
Who is a man, that dredith the Lord? he ordeyneth to hym a lawe in the weie which he chees.
13 His soule shall dwell at ease, and his seede shall inherite the land.
His soule schal dwelle in goodis; and his seed schal enerite the lond.
14 The secrete of the Lord is reueiled to them, that feare him: and his couenant to giue them vnderstanding.
The Lord is a sadnesse to men dredynge hym; and his testament is, that it be schewid to hem.
15 Mine eyes are euer towarde the Lord: for he will bring my feete out of the net.
Myn iyen ben euere to the Lord; for he schal breide awey my feet fro the snare.
16 Turne thy face vnto mee, and haue mercie vpon me: for I am desolate and poore.
Biholde thou on me, and haue thou mercy on me; for Y am
17 The sorowes of mine heart are enlarged: drawe me out of my troubles.
oon aloone and pore The tribulaciouns of myn herte ben multiplied; delyuere thou me of my nedis.
18 Looke vpon mine affliction and my trauel, and forgiue all my sinnes.
Se thou my mekenesse and my trauel; and foryyue thou alle my trespassis.
19 Beholde mine enemies, for they are manie, and they hate me with cruell hatred.
Bihold thou myn enemyes, for thei ben multiplied; and thei haten me bi wickid hatrede.
20 Keepe my soule, and deliuer me: let me not be confounded, for I trust in thee.
Kepe thou my soule, and delyuere thou me; be Y not aschamed, for Y hopide in thee.
21 Let mine vprightnes and equitie preserue me: for mine hope is in thee.
Innocent men and riytful cleuyden to me; for Y suffride thee.
22 Deliuer Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
God, delyuere thou Israel; fro alle hise tribulaciouns.
