Psalms 25
1 To Dauid.
Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 Lord, to thee Y haue reisid my soule; my God, Y truste in thee, be Y not aschamed.
in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.
3 Nethir myn enemyes scorne me; for alle men that suffren thee schulen not be schent.
Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.
