Psalms 25
1 To Dauid.
Unto the end, a psalm for David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
2 Lord, to thee Y haue reisid my soule; my God, Y truste in thee, be Y not aschamed.
In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
3 Nethir myn enemyes scorne me; for alle men that suffren thee schulen not be schent.
Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.

Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.
7 Haue thou not mynde on the trespassis of my yongthe; and on myn vnkunnyngis. Thou, Lord, haue mynde on me bi thi merci; for thi goodnesse.
The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
8 The Lord is swete and riytful; for this he schal yyue a lawe to men trespassynge in the weie.
