1 (Yahweh is pleased with/Happy are) those about whom no one can say truthfully that they have done things that are wrong, those who always obey the laws of Yahweh.
Alleluia. Blessid ben men with out wem in the weie; that gon in the lawe of the Lord.
2 Yahweh is pleased with those who (obey his requirements/do what he has instructed them to do), those who request him with their entire inner beings to help them [to do that].

3 They do not do things that are wrong; they behave like Yahweh wants them to.
For thei that worchen wickidnesse; yeden not in hise weies.

20 In my inner being I strongly desire to know (your regulations/the rules that you have given to us) all the time.

`Bowe thou myn herte in to thi witnessingus; and not in to aueryce.

Failing helde me; for synneris forsakinge thi lawe.

The wickidnesse of hem that ben proude, is multiplied on me; but in al myn herte Y schal seke thin heestis.
70 Those proud people (are stupid/do not understand your laws) [IDM], but [as for me], I am delighted with your laws.
The herte of hem is cruddid as mylk; but Y bithouyte thi lawe.
71 It was good for me that [you] afflicted/punished me, because the result was that I learned (your statutes/what you have decreed that [we] should do).
It is good to me, that thou hast maad me meke; that Y lerne thi iustifiyngis.
72 The laws that you [MTY] gave/told [to us] are [worth] more to me than gold, more than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
The lawe of thi mouth is betere to me; than thousyndis of gold and of siluer.
73 You created me and formed my body (OR, kept me safe); help me to be wise in order that I may learn (your commands/what you have commanded).

Myn iyen failiden in to thi speche; seiynge, Whanne schalt thou coumforte me?
83 I have become [as useless as] [MET] a wineskin that is [shriveled from hanging a long time] in the smoke [inside a house], but I have not forgotten (your statutes/what you have decreed that [we] should do).
For Y am maad as a bowge in frost; Y haue not foryete thi iustifiyngis.
84 How long must I wait? When will you punish those who (persecute/cause trouble for) me?
Hou many ben the daies of thi seruaunt; whanne thou schalt make doom of hem that pursuen me?
85 [It is as though] proud people have dug deep pits for me [to fall into], people who do not obey your laws.
Wickid men telden to me ianglyngis; but not as thi lawe.
86 All (your commands are/what you have commanded is) trustworthy; [but] people are (persecuting/causing trouble for) me by telling lies [about me, so please] help me!
Alle thi comaundementis ben treuthe; wickid men han pursued me, helpe thou me.

Almeest thei endiden me in erthe; but I forsook not thi comaundementis.
88 Because you faithfully love [me], allow me [to continue] to live in order that I may [continue to] obey (your rules/what you have instructed [us to do]).
Bi thi mersi quikene thou me; and Y schal kepe the witnessingis of thi mouth.
89 Yahweh, your words will last forever; they will last as long as heaven lasts.
Lord, thi word dwellith in heuene; with outen ende.
90 You will faithfully [continue doing] ([for people who are not yet born/in every generation]) what you have (promised/said that you would do); you have put the earth in its place, and it remains firmly [there].
Thi treuthe dwellith in generacioun, and in to generacioun; thou hast foundid the erthe, and it dwellith.
91 To this day, [all things on the earth] remain because you decided that they should remain; everything [on the earth] serves you.
The dai lastith contynueli bi thi ordynaunce; for alle thingis seruen to thee.
92 If I had not been delighted [in obeying] your laws, I would have died because of what I was suffering.
No but that thi lawe was my thenking; thanne perauenture Y hadde perischid in my lownesse.
93 I will never forget (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), because as a result of [my obeying them] you have enabled me to [continue to] live.
With outen ende Y schal not foryete thi iustifiyngis; for in tho thou hast quikened me.
94 I belong to you; save/rescue me [from my enemies], because I have tried to obey (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do).
I am thin, make thou me saaf; for Y haue souyt thi iustifiyngis.
95 Wicked [men] are waiting to kill me, but I [will] think about what you have instructed [us to do].
Synneris aboden me, for to leese me; Y vndurstood thi witnessingis.
96 I have learned that there is a limit/end for everything, but what you command (has no limits/never ends).
I siy the ende of al ende; thi comaundement is ful large.
97 I love your laws very much. I (meditate on/think about) them all during the day.
Lord, hou louede Y thi lawe; al dai it is my thenking.
98 Because I know (your commands/what you have commanded), and because I think about them all the time, I have become wiser than my enemies.
Aboue myn enemyes thou madist me prudent bi thi comaundement; for it is to me with outen ende.
99 I understand more than my teachers do, because I (meditate on/think about) (your requirements/what you have instructed us to do).

100 I understand more than [many] old people do, because I obey (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do).

101 I have avoided all evil behavior in order that I may obey (your words/what you have told us to do).
I forbeed my feet fro al euel weie; that Y kepe thi wordis.
102 I have not (turned away from/quit) [obeying] (your regulations/the rules that you have given to us), because you have taught me [while I have studied them].
I bowide not fro thi domes; for thou hast set lawe to me.
103 [When I read] your words, they are like [MET] sweet things that I taste/eat, [yes], they are even sweeter than honey.
Thi spechis ben ful swete to my cheekis; aboue hony to my mouth.
104 Because [I have learned] (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), I am able to understand [many things]; therefore, I hate all evil things [that some people do].
I vnderstood of thin heestis; therfor Y hatide al the weie of wickidnesse.
105 Your words are [like] [MET] a lamp to guide me; they are [like] a light [MET] to show me the path [that I should walk on].
Thi word is a lanterne to my feet; and liyt to my pathis.
106 I have solemnly promised, and I am solemnly promising it again, that I will [always] obey your (regulations/rules that you have given to us), and they are [all] fair/just.
I swoor, and purposide stidefastli; to kepe the domes of thi riytfulnesse.
107 Yahweh, I am suffering very much; cause me to be strong/healthy [again], as you have promised to do.
I am maad low bi alle thingis; Lord, quykene thou me bi thi word.
108 Yahweh, when I thank you while I pray, it is [like] [MET] a sacrifice to you; [please] accept it, and teach me your (regulations/rules that you have given to us).
Lord, make thou wel plesinge the wilful thingis of my mouth; and teche thou me thi domes.
109 [My enemies are] often trying to kill me [IDM], but I do not forget your laws.
Mi soule is euere in myn hondis; and Y foryat not thi lawe.
110 Wicked [people] have tried to seize me [like a hunter tries to catch an animal] with a trap [MET], but I have not disobeyed (your principles of behavior/what you declared that we should do).
Synneris settiden a snare to me; and Y erride not fro thi comaundementis.
111 (Your requirements/What you have instructed us to do) are my possession forever; because of them [PRS], I am joyful.
I purchasside thi witnessyngis bi eritage with outen ende; for tho ben the ful ioiyng of myn herte.
112 I (have decided/am determined) [IDM] to obey (your statutes/what you have decreed that [we] should do) until the day that I die [MTY].
I bowide myn herte to do thi iustifiyngis with outen ende; for reward.
113 I hate people who are [only] partly committed to you, but I love your laws.

114 You are [like] a place where I can hide [from my enemies], and you are [like] a shield [MET] [behind which I am protected from them], and I trust in your promises.
Thou art myn helpere, and my `taker vp; and Y hopide more on thi word.
115 You evil people, stay away from me in order than I may obey (my God’s commands/what my God has commanded)!
Ye wickide men, bowe awei fro me; and Y schal seke the comaundementis of my God.
116 Enable me to be strong, as you promised/said that you would do, in order that I may [continue to] live. I am confidently expecting [that you will restore me]; (do not disappoint me/do not allow me to be disappointed).
Vp take thou me bi thi word, and Y schal lyue; and schende thou not me fro myn abydyng.
117 Hold me up, in order that I will be safe and always (pay attention to/heed) (your statutes/what you have decreed that we should do).
Helpe thou me, and Y schal be saaf; and Y schal bithenke euere in thi iustifiyngis.
118 You reject all those who disobey (your statutes/what you have decreed that [we] should do); but what they deceitfully plan to do will be (useless/in vain).
Thou hast forsake alle men goynge awey fro thi domes; for the thouyt of hem is vniust.
119 You get rid of all the wicked [people] on the earth like [SIM] [people throw away] trash; therefore I love what you have instructed us to do.
I arettide alle the synneris of erthe brekeris of the lawe; therfor Y louede thi witnessyngis.
120 I [SYN] tremble because I am afraid of you; I am afraid [because you punish those who do not obey] (your regulations/the rules that you have given to us).
Naile thou my fleischis with thi drede; for Y dredde of thi domes.
121 [But] I have done what is right and fair/just; [so] do not allow people to oppress/mistreat me.
I dide doom and riytwisnesse; bitake thou not me to hem that falsli chalengen me.
122 Promise me that you will do good things for me and do not allow proud [people] to oppress me.
Take vp thi seruaunt in to goodnesse; thei that ben proude chalenge not me.
123 My eyes are tired from waiting a long time for you to rescue [me], for you to save [me] like you promised/said that you would.
Myn iyen failiden in to thin helthe; and in to the speche of thi riytfulnesse.
124 Do something for me to show that you faithfully love [me], and teach me (your statutes/what you have decreed that we should do).
Do thou with thi seruaunt bi thi merci; and teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
125 I am one who serves you; enable me to understand [what you want me to know] in order that I will know (your requirements/what you have instructed us to do).
I am thi seruaunt, yyue thou vndurstondyng to me; that Y kunne thi witnessingis.
126 Yahweh, now is the time for you to [punish people] because they have disobeyed your laws.
Lord, it is tyme to do; thei han distried thi lawe.
127 Truly, I love (your commands/what you have commanded) more than I love gold; I love them more than I love [very] pure gold.
Therfor Y louede thi comaundementis; more than gold and topazion.
128 So I conduct my life by (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), and I hate all the evil things that [some people do].
Therfor Y was dressid to alle thin heestis; Y hatide al wickid weie.
129 (Your requirements are/All the things that you have instructed us to do are) wonderful, so I obey them with all my inner being.
Lord, thi witnessingis ben wondirful; therfor my soule souyte tho.
130 When someone explains (your words/what you have said), [it is as though] they are lighting a light; what they say causes [even] people who have not learned your laws to be wise.
Declaring of thi wordis liytneth; and yyueth vnderstonding to meke men.
131 I eagerly desire to know (your commands/what you have commanded), like [SIM] a [dog] that pants with its mouth open [wanting to be fed].
I openede my mouth, and drouy the spirit; for Y desiride thi comaundementis.
132 Listen to me and act kindly to me, like you do to [all] those who love you [MTY].
