< Psalms 27 >
1 To Dauid. The Lord is my liytnyng, and myn helthe; whom schal Y drede? The Lord is defendere of my lijf; for whom schal Y tremble?
Psalmus David priusquam liniretur. Dominus illuminatio mea, et salus mea, quem timebo? Dominus protector vitae meae, a quo trepidabo?
2 The while noiful men neiyen on me; for to ete my fleischis. Myn enemyes, that trobliden me; thei weren maad sijk and felden doun.
Dum appropiant super me nocentes, ut edant carnes meas: Qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
3 Thouy castels stonden togidere ayens me; myn herte schal not drede. Thouy batel risith ayens me; in this thing Y schal haue hope.
Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum. Si exurgat adversum me praelium, in hoc ego sperabo.
4 I axide of the Lord o thing; Y schal seke this thing; that Y dwelle in the hows of the Lord alle the daies of my lijf. That Y se the wille of the Lord; and that Y visite his temple.
Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram, ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitae meae: Ut videam voluntatem Domini, et visitem templum eius.
5 For he hidde me in his tabernacle in the dai of yuelis; he defendide me in the hid place of his tabernacle.
Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo: in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui.
6 He enhaunside me in a stoon; and now he enhaunside myn heed ouer myn enemyes. I cumpasside, and offride in his tabernacle a sacrifice of criyng; Y schal synge, and Y schal seie salm to the Lord.
In petra exaltavit me: et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos. Circuivi, et immolavi in tabernaculo eius hostiam vociferationis: cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino.
7 Lord, here thou my vois, bi which Y criede to thee; haue thou merci on me, and here me.
Exaudi Domine vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te: miserere mei, et exaudi me.
8 Myn herte seide to thee, My face souyte thee; Lord, Y schal seke eft thi face.
Tibi dixit cor meum, exquisivit te facies mea: faciem tuam Domine requiram.
9 Turne thou not awei thi face fro me; bouwe thou not awei in ire fro thi seruaunt. Lord, be thou myn helpere, forsake thou not me; and, God, myn helthe, dispise thou not me.
Ne avertas faciem tuam a me: ne declines in ira a servo tuo. Adiutor meus esto: ne derelinquas me, neque despicias me Deus salutaris meus.
10 For my fadir and my modir han forsake me; but the Lord hath take me.
Quoniam pater meus, et mater mea dereliquerunt me: Dominus autem assumpsit me.
11 Lord, sette thou a lawe to me in thi weie; and dresse thou me in thi path for myn enemyes.
Legem pone mihi Domine in via tua: et dirige me in semitam rectam propter inimicos meos.
12 Bitake thou not me in to the soules of hem, that troblen me; for wickid witnessis han rise ayens me, and wickydnesse liede to it silf.
Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me: quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui, et mentita est iniquitas sibi.
13 I bileue to see the goodis of the Lord; in the lond of `hem that lyuen.
Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium.
14 Abide thou the Lord, do thou manli; and thin herte be coumfortid, and suffre thou the Lord.
Expecta Dominum, viriliter age: et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum.
