Psalms 25
1 “Of David.” Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
To Dauid.
2 O my God, in thee do I trust, let me not be ashamed, let not my 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 on thee will be put to shame: let those be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.
Nethir myn enemyes scorne me; for alle men that suffren thee schulen not be schent.
4 Show me, O Lord, thy ways; 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 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art the God of my salvation: on 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 thy mercies, O Lord, and thy kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
Lord, haue thou mynde of thi merciful doyngis; and of thi mercies that ben fro the world.
7 The sins of my youth and my transgressions do not remember: according to thy kindness bear thou me in remembrance, for the sake of thy goodness, 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 he pointeth out to sinners the right way.
The Lord is swete and riytful; for this he schal yyue a lawe to men trespassynge in the weie.
9 He guideth the meek in justice, and he teacheth the meek his way.
He schal dresse deboner men in doom; he schal teche mylde men hise weies.
10 All the paths of the Lord are kindness 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 the sake of thy name, O Lord, pardon my iniquity: although it is great.
Lord, for thi name thou schalt do merci to my synne; for it is myche.
12 Who is that man that feareth the Lord? to him will he point out the way which he is to 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 happiness: and his seed shall inherit the land.
His soule schal dwelle in goodis; and his seed schal enerite the lond.
14 The secret counsel of the Lord is for those that fear him, and his covenant—to make it known to them.
The Lord is a sadnesse to men dredynge hym; and his testament is, that it be schewid to hem.
15 My eyes are ever [directed] toward the Lord; for he will draw out of the net my feet.
Myn iyen ben euere to the Lord; for he schal breide awey my feet fro the snare.
16 Turn 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 distresses of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my afflictions.
oon aloone and pore The tribulaciouns of myn herte ben multiplied; delyuere thou me of my nedis.
18 Look on my misery and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
Se thou my mekenesse and my trauel; and foryyue thou alle my trespassis.
19 Look at my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with the hatred of violence.
Bihold thou myn enemyes, for thei ben multiplied; and thei haten me bi wickid hatrede.
20 Oh, guard my soul; and deliver me: let me not be put to shame; for I put my trust in thee.
Kepe thou my soule, and delyuere thou me; be Y not aschamed, for Y hopide in thee.
21 Let integrity and uprightness guard me; for I wait on thee.
Innocent men and riytful cleuyden to me; for Y suffride thee.
22 Redeem, O God, Israel out of all his distresses.
God, delyuere thou Israel; fro alle hise tribulaciouns.
