Psalms 32
1 Lernyng to Dauid. Blessid ben thei, whose wickidnessis ben foryouun; and whose synnes ben hilid.
Of David. Maschil. Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered.
2 Blessid is the man, to whom the Lord arrettide not synne; nethir gile is in his spirit.
Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, 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 my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day.
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 the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in 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 made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and 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 cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.
7 Thou art my refuyt fro tribulacioun, that cumpasside me; thou, my fulli ioiyng, delyuere me fro hem that cumpassen me.
You are my safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (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 give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.
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.
Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ...
10 Many betyngis ben of the synnere; but merci schal cumpasse hym that hopith in the Lord.
The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.
11 Ye iust men, be glad, and make fulli ioie in the Lord; and alle ye riytful of herte, haue glorie.
Be glad in the Lord with joy, you upright men; give cries of joy, all you whose hearts are true.
