Psalms 32
1 Lernyng to Dauid. Blessid ben thei, whose wickidnessis ben foryouun; and whose synnes ben hilid.
Blessed are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessid is the man, to whom the Lord arrettide not synne; nethir gile is in his spirit.
Blessed is the man to whom Jehovah does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 For Y was stille, my boonys wexiden elde; while Y criede al dai.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all the day long.
4 For bi dai and nyyt thin `hond was maad greuouse on me; Y am turned in my wretchednesse, while the thorn is set in.
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. (Selah)
5 I made my synne knowun to thee; and Y hidde not my vnriytfulnesse. I seide, Y schal knouleche ayens me myn vnriytfulnesse to the Lord; and thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of my synne.
I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah, and thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 For this thing ech hooli man schal preye to thee; in couenable tyme. Netheles in the greet flood of many watris; tho schulen not neiye to thee.
For this let everyone who is devout pray to thee in a time when thou may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach to him.
7 Thou art my refuyt fro tribulacioun, that cumpasside me; thou, my fulli ioiyng, delyuere me fro hem that cumpassen me.
Thou are my hiding-place. Thou will preserve me from trouble. Thou will encompass me around with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8 Y schal yyue vnderstondyng to thee, and Y schal teche thee; in this weie in which thou schalt go, Y schal make stidefast myn iyen on thee.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shall go. I will counsel thee with my eye upon thee.
9 Nile ye be maad as an hors and mule; to whiche is noon vndurstondyng. Lord, constreyne thou the chekis of hem with a bernacle and bridil; that neiyen not to thee.
Become ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding, whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, else they will not come near to thee.
10 Many betyngis ben of the synnere; but merci schal cumpasse hym that hopith in the Lord.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he who trusts in Jehovah, loving kindness shall encompass him about.
11 Ye iust men, be glad, and make fulli ioie in the Lord; and alle ye riytful of herte, haue glorie.
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous. And shout for joy, all ye who are upright in heart.
