Psalms 25
1 To Dauid.
[By David.] To you, 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.
My God, I have trusted in you. Do not let me be shamed. Do not let my enemies triumph over me.
3 Nethir myn enemyes scorne me; for alle men that suffren thee schulen not be schent.
Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Alle men doynge wickyd thingis superfluli; be schent. Lord, schewe thou thi weies to me; and teche thou me thi pathis.

LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.
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.
Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness' sake, 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 he will instruct sinners in the way.
