Psalms 36
1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,
`To victorie, to Dauid, `the seruaunt of the Lord. The vniust man seide, that he trespasse in hym silf; the drede of God is not bifor hise iyen.
2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
For he dide gilefuli in the siyt of God; that his wickidnesse be foundun to hatrede.
3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.
The wordis of his mouth ben wickidnesse and gile, he nolde vndirstonde to do wel.
4 He devises iniquity on his bed, He stations himself on a way not good, He does not refuse evil.”
He thouyte wickidnesse in his bed, he stood nyy al weie not good; forsothe he hatide not malice.
5 O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.
Lord, thi merci is in heuene; and thi treuthe is `til to cloudis.
6 Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.
Thi riytfulnesse is as the hillis of God; thi domes ben myche depthe of watris. Lord, thou schalt saue men and beestis;
7 How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.
as thou, God, hast multiplied thi merci. But the sones of men; schulen hope in the hilyng of thi wyngis.
8 They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.
Thei schulen be fillid gretli of the plentee of thin hows; and thou schalt yyue drynke to hem with the steef streem of thi likyng.
9 For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.
For the wel of life is at thee; and in thi liyt we schulen se liyt.
10 Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.
Lord, sette forth thi mercy to hem, that knowen thee; and thi ryytfulnesse to hem that ben of riytful herte.
11 Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.
The foot of pryde come not to me; and the hond of the synnere moue me not.
12 Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
There thei felden doun, that worchen wickidnesse; thei ben cast out, and myyten not stonde.
