Psalms 25
1 To Dauid.
A psalm of David. Lord, I come to worship you.
2 Lord, to thee Y haue reisid my soule; my God, Y truste in thee, be Y not aschamed.
I trust in you, my God. Don't let me be humiliated, and don't let my enemies triumph over me.
3 Nethir myn enemyes scorne me; for alle men that suffren thee schulen not be schent.
No one who trusts in you will be humiliated, but humiliation comes to those who are deliberately dishonest.
4 Alle men doynge wickyd thingis superfluli; be schent. Lord, schewe thou thi weies to me; and teche thou me thi pathis.
Show me your ways, Lord; teach me to follow your paths.

Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. All day long I put my trust in you.
6 Lord, haue thou mynde of thi merciful doyngis; and of thi mercies that ben fro the world.
Remember, Lord, your compassion and trustworthy love—they are eternal!
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.
Please don't remember the sins of my youth when I rebelled against you. Instead, remember me according to your trustworthy love, remember me because of your goodness, Lord.
8 The Lord is swete and riytful; for this he schal yyue a lawe to men trespassynge in the weie.
The Lord is good and he is right; that is why he shows the way to those who are lost.
