Psalms 27
1 Yahweh is the one who gives light [to my soul/spirit] and the one who saves me, so I do not [RHQ] need to be afraid of anyone. Yahweh is the one to whom I go for refuge, so I will never be afraid.
To Dauid. The Lord is my liytnyng, and myn helthe; whom schal Y drede? The Lord is defendere of my lijf; for whom schal Y tremble?
2 When those who do evil come near me to attack me, they stumble and fall down.
The while noiful men neiyen on me; for to ete my fleischis. Myn enemyes, that trobliden me; thei weren maad sijk and felden doun.
3 [Even] if an army surrounds me, I [SYN] will not be afraid. [Even] if they attack me, I will trust [in God].
Thouy castels stonden togidere ayens me; myn herte schal not drede. Thouy batel risith ayens me; in this thing Y schal haue hope.
4 There is one thing that I have requested from Yahweh; this is the one thing that I desire: That I may worship in Yahweh’s house/temple every day of my life, and see that Yahweh is wonderful and inquire [what he wants me to do].
I axide of the Lord o thing; Y schal seke this thing; that Y dwelle in the hows of the Lord alle the daies of my lijf. That Y se the wille of the Lord; and that Y visite his temple.
5 He will protect me when I have troubles; he will keep me safe in his Sacred Tent. He will set me safely (on a high rock/in a secure place).
For he hidde me in his tabernacle in the dai of yuelis; he defendide me in the hid place of his tabernacle.
6 Then I will triumph over [IDM] my enemies. I will shout joyfully as I offer sacrifices in his Sacred Tent, and I will praise Yahweh as I sing.
He enhaunside me in a stoon; and now he enhaunside myn heed ouer myn enemyes. I cumpasside, and offride in his tabernacle a sacrifice of criyng; Y schal synge, and Y schal seie salm to the Lord.
7 Yahweh, listen to me while I pray. Be kind to me and answer my prayer.
Lord, here thou my vois, bi which Y criede to thee; haue thou merci on me, and here me.
8 I sensed that I heard you say, “Come and worship me [IDM],” so, Yahweh, I will worship you.
Myn herte seide to thee, My face souyte thee; Lord, Y schal seke eft thi face.
9 I am your servant; Do not be angry with me and turn away from me. You have always helped me. You are the one who has saved me, so do not abandon me [now].
Turne thou not awei thi face fro me; bouwe thou not awei in ire fro thi seruaunt. Lord, be thou myn helpere, forsake thou not me; and, God, myn helthe, dispise thou not me.
10 [Even] if my father and mother desert me, you will take care of [IDM] me.
For my fadir and my modir han forsake me; but the Lord hath take me.
11 Yahweh, teach me to do what you want me to do, and lead me on a safe path because I have many enemies.
Lord, sette thou a lawe to me in thi weie; and dresse thou me in thi path for myn enemyes.
12 Do not allow my enemies to do to me what they want; they say many false things about me and [threaten to do] violent things to me.
Bitake thou not me in to the soules of hem, that troblen me; for wickid witnessis han rise ayens me, and wickydnesse liede to it silf.
13 But I know that because I trust in you you will be good to me as long as I live.
I bileue to see the goodis of the Lord; in the lond of `hem that lyuen.
14 So trust in Yahweh, [all of you]! Be strong and courageous, and wait expectantly for him [to help you]!
Abide thou the Lord, do thou manli; and thin herte be coumfortid, and suffre thou the Lord.
