Psalms 25
1 To Dauid.
[A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, 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 LORD; 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 LORD, 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 LORD.
8 The Lord is swete and riytful; for this he schal yyue a lawe to men trespassynge in the weie.
Good and upright [is] the LORD: 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 the LORD [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 LORD, 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 the LORD? 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 the LORD [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 the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

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.
