Psalms 25
1 To Dauid.
Unto thee, O Yhwh, do I lift up my soul.
2 Lord, to thee Y haue reisid my soule; my God, Y truste in thee, be Y not aschamed.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 Nethir myn enemyes scorne me; for alle men that suffren thee schulen not be schent.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress 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 ways, O Yhwh; teach 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.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6 Lord, haue thou mynde of thi merciful doyngis; and of thi mercies that ben fro the world.
Remember, O Yhwh, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
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 sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Yhwh.
8 The Lord is swete and riytful; for this he schal yyue a lawe to men trespassynge in the weie.
Good and upright is Yhwh: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 He schal dresse deboner men in doom; he schal teche mylde men hise weies.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 Alle the weies of the Lord ben mercy and treuthe; to men sekynge his testament, and hise witnessyngis.
All the paths of Yhwh are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 Lord, for thi name thou schalt do merci to my synne; for it is myche.
For thy name’s sake, O Yhwh, pardon mine iniquity; 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 Yhwh? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soule schal dwelle in goodis; and his seed schal enerite the lond.
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The Lord is a sadnesse to men dredynge hym; and his testament is, that it be schewid to hem.
The secret of Yhwh is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15 Myn iyen ben euere to the Lord; for he schal breide awey my feet fro the snare.
Mine eyes are ever toward Yhwh; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Biholde thou on me, and haue thou mercy on me; for Y am
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 oon aloone and pore The tribulaciouns of myn herte ben multiplied; delyuere thou me of my nedis.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18 Se thou my mekenesse and my trauel; and foryyue thou alle my trespassis.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19 Bihold thou myn enemyes, for thei ben multiplied; and thei haten me bi wickid hatrede.
Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Kepe thou my soule, and delyuere thou me; be Y not aschamed, for Y hopide in thee.
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21 Innocent men and riytful cleuyden to me; for Y suffride thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22 God, delyuere thou Israel; fro alle hise tribulaciouns.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
