< Psalms 17 >

1 The preier of Dauid. Lord, here thou my riytfulnesse; biholde thou my preier. Perseuye thou with eeris my preier; not maad in gileful lippis.
A prayer of David hear! O Yahweh - righteousness pay attention to! cry of entreaty my give ear to! prayer my with not lips of deceit.
2 Mi doom come `forth of thi cheer; thin iyen se equite.
From to before you judgment my may it come forth eyes your may they see uprightness.
3 Thou hast preued myn herte, and hast visitid in niyt; thou hast examynyd me bi fier, and wickidnesse is not foundun in me.
You have tested heart my - you have visited night you have tested me not you will find I have resolved not it will transgress mouth my.
4 That my mouth speke not the werkis of men; for the wordis of thi lippis Y haue kept harde weies.
To [the] deeds of humankind by [the] word of lips your I I have watched [the] paths of violent person[s].
5 Make thou perfit my goyngis in thi pathis; that my steppis be not moued.
They have held firm steps my in tracks your not they have been shaken footsteps my.
6 I criede, for thou, God, herdist me; bowe doun thin eere to me, and here thou my wordis.
I I call out to you for you will answer me O God incline ear your to me hear utterance my.
7 Make wondurful thi mercies; that makist saaf `men hopynge in thee.
Make wonderful covenant loyalti your O deliverer of [those who] take refuge from [those who] rise up by right [hand] your.
8 Kepe thou me as the appil of the iye; fro `men ayenstondynge thi riyt hond. Keuere thou me vndur the schadewe of thi wyngis;
Keep me like [the] pupil of [the] daughter of an eye in [the] shadow of wings your you will hide me.
9 fro the face of vnpitouse men, that han turmentid me. Myn enemyes han cumpassid my soule;
From before wicked [people] who they have assailed me enemies my with soul they surround me.
10 thei han closide togidere her fatnesse; the mouth of hem spak pride.
Fat their they have closed up mouth their they have spoken with pride.
11 Thei castiden me forth, and han cumpassid me now; thei ordeyneden to bowe doun her iyen in to erthe.
Steps our now (they have surrounded us *Q(K)*) eyes their they set to bend down on the ground.
12 Thei, as a lioun maad redi to prey, han take me; and as the whelp of a lioun dwellynge in hid places.
Likeness his [is] like a lion [which] it longs to tear to pieces and like a young lion [which] sits in hiding places.
13 Lord, rise thou vp, bifor come thou hym, and disseyue thou hym; delyuere thou my lijf fro the `vnpitouse,
Arise! O Yahweh confront! face his make bow down him deliver! life my from [the] wicked sword your.
14 delyuere thou thi swerd fro the enemyes of thin hond. Lord, departe thou hem fro a fewe men of `the lond in the lijf of hem; her wombe is fillid of thin hid thingis. Thei ben fillid with sones; and thei leften her relifis to her litle children.
From men hand your - O Yahweh from men from [the] world [whom] portion their [is] in the life (and treasured [thing] your *Q(K)*) you fill belly their they are satisfied sons and they leave abundance their to children their.
15 But Y in riytfulnesse schal appere to thi siyt; Y schal be fillid, whanne thi glorie schal appere.
I in righteousness I will see face your I will be satisfied when awake likeness your.
