Psalms 7
1 A SHIGGAION OF DAVID, THAT HE SUNG TO YHWH CONCERNING THE WORDS OF CUSH, A BENJAMITE. O YHWH, my God, in You I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
For the ignoraunce of Dauid, which he songe to the Lord on the wordis of Ethiopien, the sone of Gemyny. Mi Lord God, Y haue hopid in thee; make thou me saaf fro alle that pursuen me, and delyuere thou me.
2 Lest he tear my soul as a lion, Tearing, and there is no deliverer.
Lest ony tyme he as a lioun rauysche my soule; the while noon is that ayenbieth, nether that makith saaf.
3 O YHWH, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
Mi Lord God, if Y dide this thing, if wickidnesse is in myn hondis;
4 If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw my adversary without cause,
if Y `yeldide to men yeldynge to me yuels, falle Y `bi disseruyng voide fro myn enemyes;
5 [Then] an enemy pursues my soul, and overtakes, And treads down my life to the earth, And places my glory in the dust. (Selah)
myn enemy pursue my soule, and take, and defoule my lijf in erthe; and brynge my glorie in to dust.
6 Rise, O YHWH, in Your anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of my adversaries, And awake Yourself for me: You have commanded judgment.
Lord, rise thou vp in thin ire; and be thou reysid in the coostis of myn enemyes.
7 And a congregation of peoples surround You, And over it turn back on high.
And, my Lord God, rise thou in the comaundement, which thou `hast comaundid; and the synagoge of puplis schal cumpasse thee.
8 YHWH judges the peoples; Judge me, O YHWH, According to my righteousness, And according to my integrity [that is] on me.
And for this go thou ayen an hiy; the Lord demeth puplis. Lord, deme thou me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi myn innocence on me.
9 Please let the evil of the wicked be ended, And establish the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
The wickidnesse of synneris be endid; and thou, God, sekyng the hertis and reynes, schalt dresse a iust man.
10 My shield [is] on God, Savior of the upright in heart!
Mi iust help is of the Lord; that makith saaf riytful men in herte.
11 God [is] judging right, And He is not angry at all times.
The Lord is a iust iuge, stronge and pacient; whether he is wrooth bi alle daies?
12 If [one] does not turn, He sharpens His sword, He has bent His bow [and] He prepares it,
If ye ben `not conuertid, he schal florische his swerd; he hath bent his bouwe, and made it redi.
13 Indeed, He has prepared for Himself Instruments of death, He makes His arrows for burning pursuers.
And therynne he hath maad redi the vessels of deth; he hath fulli maad his arewis with brennynge thingis.
14 Behold, he travails [with] iniquity, And he has conceived perverseness, And has brought forth falsehood.
Lo! he conseyuede sorewe; he peynfuli brouyte forth vnriytfulnesse, and childide wickidnesse.
15 He has prepared a pit, and he digs it, And he falls into a ditch he makes.
He openide a lake, and diggide it out; and he felde in to the dich which he made.
16 His perverseness returns on his head, And his violence comes down on his crown.
His sorewe schal be turned in to his heed; and his wickidnesse schal come doun in to his necke.
17 I thank YHWH, According to His righteousness, And I praise the Name of YHWH Most High!
I schal knouleche to the Lord bi his riytfulnesse; and Y schal synge to the name of the hiyeste Lord.
