Psalms 32

1 [A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered.

Lernyng to Dauid. Blessid ben thei, whose wickidnessis ben foryouun; and whose synnes ben hilid.

2 Blessed [is] the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.

Blessid is the man, to whom the Lord arrettide not synne; nethir gile is in his spirit.

3 When I kept silence, my bones became old through my roaring all the day long.

For Y was stille, my boonys wexiden elde; while Y criede al dai.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drouth of summer. (Selah)

For bi dai and nyyt thin `hond was maad greuouse on me; Y am turned in my wretchednesse, while the thorn is set in.

5 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

I made my synne knowun to thee; and Y hidde not my vnriytfulnesse. I seide, Y schal knouleche ayens me myn vnriytfulnesse to the Lord; and thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of my synne.

6 For this shall every one that is godly pray to thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh to him.

For this thing ech hooli man schal preye to thee; in couenable tyme. Netheles in the greet flood of many watris; tho schulen not neiye to thee.

7 Thou [art] my hiding place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

Thou art my refuyt fro tribulacioun, that cumpasside me; thou, my fulli ioiyng, delyuere me fro hem that cumpassen me.

8 I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with my eye.

Y schal yyue vnderstondyng to thee, and Y schal teche thee; in this weie in which thou schalt go, Y schal make stidefast myn iyen on thee.

9 Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near to thee.

Nile ye be maad as an hors and mule; to whiche is noon vndurstondyng. Lord, constreyne thou the chekis of hem with a bernacle and bridil; that neiyen not to thee.

10 Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall encompass him.

Many betyngis ben of the synnere; but merci schal cumpasse hym that hopith in the Lord.

11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.

Ye iust men, be glad, and make fulli ioie in the Lord; and alle ye riytful of herte, haue glorie.
