Psalms 36
1 [Wicked people continually desire to] sin. They consider [IDM] that they do not need to revere God.
`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 Because they are very proud, they do not think that God will discover their sins and condemn them (OR, they do not think about their sins and hate themselves for it).
For he dide gilefuli in the siyt of God; that his wickidnesse be foundun to hatrede.
3 [Everything] that they say is deceitful and full of lies; they no longer do what is good and are no longer wise.
The wordis of his mouth ben wickidnesse and gile, he nolde vndirstonde to do wel.
4 While they are lying on their beds, they plan to do things to harm [others]; they are determined to do things that are not good, and they never refuse [to do what is] evil.
He thouyte wickidnesse in his bed, he stood nyy al weie not good; forsothe he hatide not malice.
5 Yahweh, your faithful love for us reaches as high as the heavens, you faithfully [do what you have promised]; [it is as though your doing that] extends up to the clouds.
Lord, thi merci is in heuene; and thi treuthe is `til to cloudis.
6 Your righteous behavior is [as permanent as] the highest mountains [MET], your acting justly [will continue as long as] the deepest oceans [exist]. You take care of people and you take care of animals.
Thi riytfulnesse is as the hillis of God; thi domes ben myche depthe of watris. Lord, thou schalt saue men and beestis;
7 God, your faithful love for us is very precious. You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings [MET].
as thou, God, hast multiplied thi merci. But the sones of men; schulen hope in the hilyng of thi wyngis.
8 You provide for us plenty of food from the abundant supply [IDM] that you have; your great blessings for us [flow] like a river.
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 You are the one who causes everything to live; your light is what enables us to see.
For the wel of life is at thee; and in thi liyt we schulen se liyt.
10 Continue to faithfully love those who have experienced a relationship with you, and bless those who act righteously/justly.
Lord, sette forth thi mercy to hem, that knowen thee; and thi ryytfulnesse to hem that ben of riytful herte.
11 Do not allow proud people [SYN] to attack me, or allow wicked people to chase me away.
The foot of pryde come not to me; and the hond of the synnere moue me not.
12 Look where evil people have fallen on the ground, defeated; they were thrown down, and they will never rise again.
There thei felden doun, that worchen wickidnesse; thei ben cast out, and myyten not stonde.
