Psalms 25
1 To Dauid.
A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, lift I vp my soule.
2 Lord, to thee Y haue reisid my soule; my God, Y truste in thee, be Y not aschamed.
My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies reioyce ouer mee.
3 Nethir myn enemyes scorne me; for alle men that suffren thee schulen not be schent.
So all that hope in thee, shall not be ashamed: but let them be confounded, that transgresse without cause.
4 Alle men doynge wickyd thingis superfluli; be schent. Lord, schewe thou thi weies to me; and teche thou me thi pathis.
Shew me thy waies, O Lord, and teache me thy paths.
5 Dresse thou me in thi treuthe, and teche thou me, for thou art God my sauyour; and Y suffride thee al dai.
Leade me foorth in thy trueth, and teache me: for thou art the God of my saluation: in thee doe I trust all the day.
6 Lord, haue thou mynde of thi merciful doyngis; and of thi mercies that ben fro the world.
Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy louing kindnesse: for they haue beene for euer.
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.
Remember not the sinnes of my youth, nor my rebellions, but according to thy kindenesse remember thou me, euen for thy goodnesse sake, O Lord.
8 The Lord is swete and riytful; for this he schal yyue a lawe to men trespassynge in the weie.
Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way.
9 He schal dresse deboner men in doom; he schal teche mylde men hise weies.
Them that be meeke, will hee guide in iudgement, and teach the humble his way.
10 Alle the weies of the Lord ben mercy and treuthe; to men sekynge his testament, and hise witnessyngis.
All the pathes of the Lord are mercie and trueth vnto such as keepe his couenant and his testimonies.
11 Lord, for thi name thou schalt do merci to my synne; for it is myche.
For thy Names sake, O Lord, be merciful vnto mine iniquitie, for it is great.
12 Who is a man, that dredith the Lord? he ordeyneth to hym a lawe in the weie which he chees.
What man is he that feareth the Lord? him wil he teache the way that hee shall chuse.
13 His soule schal dwelle in goodis; and his seed schal enerite the lond.
His soule shall dwell at ease, and his seede shall inherite the land.
14 The Lord is a sadnesse to men dredynge hym; and his testament is, that it be schewid to hem.
The secrete of the Lord is reueiled to them, that feare him: and his couenant to giue them vnderstanding.
15 Myn iyen ben euere to the Lord; for he schal breide awey my feet fro the snare.
Mine eyes are euer towarde the Lord: for he will bring my feete out of the net.
16 Biholde thou on me, and haue thou mercy on me; for Y am
Turne thy face vnto mee, and haue mercie vpon me: for I am desolate and poore.
17 oon aloone and pore The tribulaciouns of myn herte ben multiplied; delyuere thou me of my nedis.
The sorowes of mine heart are enlarged: drawe me out of my troubles.
18 Se thou my mekenesse and my trauel; and foryyue thou alle my trespassis.
Looke vpon mine affliction and my trauel, and forgiue all my sinnes.
19 Bihold thou myn enemyes, for thei ben multiplied; and thei haten me bi wickid hatrede.
Beholde mine enemies, for they are manie, and they hate me with cruell hatred.
20 Kepe thou my soule, and delyuere thou me; be Y not aschamed, for Y hopide in thee.
Keepe my soule, and deliuer me: let me not be confounded, for I trust in thee.
21 Innocent men and riytful cleuyden to me; for Y suffride thee.
Let mine vprightnes and equitie preserue me: for mine hope is in thee.
22 God, delyuere thou Israel; fro alle hise tribulaciouns.
Deliuer Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
