Psalms 32
1 Lernyng to Dauid. Blessid ben thei, whose wickidnessis ben foryouun; and whose synnes ben hilid.
David’s An Instructive Psalm. How happy is he whose transgression is forgiven! whose sin is pardoned!
2 Blessid is the man, to whom the Lord arrettide not synne; nethir gile is in his spirit.
How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit is no guile!
3 For Y was stille, my boonys wexiden elde; while Y criede al dai.
When I kept silence, my bones became worn out, Through my groaning all 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, day and night, heavy upon me, was thy hand, —Changed was my life-sap into 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.
My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive 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 cause, will every man of lovingkindness pray unto thee, in time to obtain, —Surely, in the overflow of many waters, unto him, shall they not reach.
7 Thou art my refuyt fro tribulacioun, that cumpasside me; thou, my fulli ioiyng, delyuere me fro hem that cumpassen me.
Thou, art a hiding-place for me, From distress, wilt thou preserve me, —With shouts of deliverance, wilt thou compass me about. (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 make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye.
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 ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment, —With the bit and bridle of his mouth, [hast thou] to restrain him, —He will not come near unto thee.
10 Many betyngis ben of the synnere; but merci schal cumpasse hym that hopith in the Lord.
Many pains, hath the lawless one, —But, he that trusteth in Yahweh, Lovingkindness, shall compass him about.
11 Ye iust men, be glad, and make fulli ioie in the Lord; and alle ye riytful of herte, haue glorie.
Rejoice in Yahweh and exult, O ye righteous, Yea, shout in triumph, all ye upright in heart!
