< Psalms 25 >
1 A Psalm of David. Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
To Dauid.
2 O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Lord, to thee Y haue reisid my soule; my God, Y truste in thee, be Y not aschamed.
3 Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.
Nethir myn enemyes scorne me; for alle men that suffren thee schulen not be schent.
4 Show me Thy ways, O LORD; teach 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 Guide me in Thy truth, and teach me; for Thou art the God of my salvation; for Thee do I wait 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 compassions and Thy mercies; for they have been from of old.
Lord, haue thou mynde of thi merciful doyngis; and of thi mercies that ben fro the world.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to Thy mercy remember Thou me, for Thy goodness' 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 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore doth He instruct 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 guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way.
He schal dresse deboner men in doom; he schal teche mylde men hise weies.
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
Alle the weies of the Lord ben mercy and treuthe; to men sekynge his testament, and hise witnessyngis.
11 For Thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, 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 will He instruct in the way that He should choose.
Who is a man, that dredith the Lord? he ordeyneth to hym a lawe in the weie which he chees.
13 His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land.
His soule schal dwelle in goodis; and his seed schal enerite the lond.
14 The counsel of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it.
The Lord is a sadnesse to men dredynge hym; and his testament is, that it be schewid to hem.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net.
Myn iyen ben euere to the Lord; for he schal breide awey my feet fro the snare.
16 Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
Biholde thou on me, and haue thou mercy on me; for Y am
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.
oon aloone and pore The tribulaciouns of myn herte ben multiplied; delyuere thou me of my nedis.
18 See mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins.
Se thou my mekenesse and my trauel; and foryyue thou alle my trespassis.
19 Consider how many are mine enemies, and the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me.
Bihold thou myn enemyes, for thei ben multiplied; and thei haten me bi wickid hatrede.
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee.
Kepe thou my soule, and delyuere thou me; be Y not aschamed, for Y hopide in thee.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee.
Innocent men and riytful cleuyden to me; for Y suffride thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
God, delyuere thou Israel; fro alle hise tribulaciouns.
