Psalms 73
1 A psalm of Asaph surely [is] good to Israel God to [people] pure of heart.
`The salm of Asaph. God of Israel is ful good; to hem that ben of riytful herte.
2 And I like a little (they had turned aside *Q(K)*) feet my like nothing (they had been poured out *Q(K)*) steps my.
But my feet weren moued almeest; my steppis weren sched out almeest.
3 For I was jealous of the boasters [the] well-being of wicked [people] I saw.
For Y louede feruentli on wickid men; seynge the pees of synneris.
4 That there not [are] pangs to death their and [is] fat body their.
For biholdyng is not to the deth of hem; and stidefastnesse in the sikenesse of hem.
5 [are] in [the] trouble of Humankind not they and with humankind not they are stricken.
Thei ben not in the trauel of men; and thei schulen not be betun with men.
6 Therefore [it is] a necklace [for] them pride it covers a garment of violence them.
Therfore pride helde hem; thei weren hilid with her wickidnesse and vnfeithfulnesse.
7 It comes out from fat eye their they pass over [the] imaginations of heart.
The wickidnesse of hem cam forth as of fatnesse; thei yeden in to desire of herte.
8 They mock - and they may speak with evil oppression from a high place they speak.
Thei thouyten and spaken weiwardnesse; thei spaken wickidnesse an hiy.
9 They set in the heavens mouth their and tongue their it walks on the earth.
Thei puttiden her mouth in to heuene; and her tunge passide in erthe.
10 Therefore - (it turns back *Q(K)*) people his here and waters of full they are drained by them.
Therfor my puple schal be conuertid here; and fulle daies schulen be foundun in hem.
11 And they say how? does he know God and [is] there? knowledge with [the] Most High.
And thei seiden, How woot God; and whether kunnyng is an heiye, `that is, in heuene?
12 Here! these [are] wicked [people] and [people] at ease of perpetuity they increase wealth.
Lo! thilke synneris and hauynge aboundance in the world; helden richessis.
13 Surely vanity I have kept pure heart my and I have washed in innocence hands my.
And Y seide, Therfor without cause Y iustifiede myn herte; and waischide myn hoondis among innocentis.
14 And I have been stricken all the day and rebuke my [has been] to the mornings.
And Y was betun al dai; and my chastisyng was in morutidis.
15 If I had said I will speak like here! [the] generation of children your I dealt treacherously with.
If Y seide, Y schal telle thus; lo! Y repreuede the nacioun of thi sones.
16 And I thought! to know this [was] trouble (it *Q(K)*) in view my.
I gesside, that Y schulde knowe this; trauel is bifore me.
17 Until I went into [the] sanctuari of God I considered end their.
Til Y entre in to the seyntuarie of God; and vndurstonde in the last thingis of hem.
18 Surely on slippery [places] you set them you make fall them to deceptions.
Netheles for gilis thou hast put to hem; thou castidist hem doun, while thei weren reisid.
19 How! they have become a waste like a moment they come to an end they are finished from sudden terror.
Hou ben thei maad into desolacioun; thei failiden sodeynli, thei perischiden for her wickidnesse.
20 Like a dream from when awakes O Lord when waken - image their you will despise.
As the dreem of men that risen; Lord, thou schalt dryue her ymage to nouyt in thi citee.
21 If it was embittered heart my and kidneys my I was pierced.
For myn herte is enflaumed, and my reynes ben chaungid;
22 And I [was] stupid and not I knew animals I was with you.
and Y am dryuun to nouyt, and Y wiste not.
23 And I continually [am] with you you take hold on [the] hand of right my.
As a werk beeste Y am maad at thee; and Y am euere with thee.
24 With counsel your you guide me and after honor you will take me.
Thou heldist my riythond, and in thi wille thou leddist me forth; and with glorie thou tokist me vp.
25 Who? [belongs] to me in the heavens and with you not I take pleasure on the earth.
For whi what is to me in heuene; and what wolde Y of thee on erthe?
26 It had come to an end flesh my and heart my [is] [the] rock of heart my and portion my God for ever.
Mi fleische and myn herte failide; God of myn herte, and my part is God withouten ende.
27 For there! [people] far from you they will perish you destroy every [one who] acts as a prostitute from you.
For lo! thei that drawen awei fer hem silf fro thee, `bi deedli synne, schulen perische; thou hast lost alle men that doen fornycacioun fro thee.
28 And I - [the] approach of God for me [is] good I have made - in [the] Lord Yahweh refuge my to recount all works your.
But it is good to me to cleue to God; and to sette myn hope in the Lord God. That Y telle alle thi prechyngis; in the yatis of the douyter of Syon.
