Psalms 34
1 To Dauid, whanne he chaungide his mouth bifor Abymalech, and he `droof out Dauid, `and he yede forth. I schal blesse the Lord in al tyme; euere his heriyng is in my mouth.
Of David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, so that the king drove him away. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.
2 Mi soule schal be preisid in the Lord; mylde men here, and be glad.
My soul boasts in the LORD; let the oppressed hear and rejoice.
3 Magnyfie ye the Lord with me; and enhaunse we his name into it silf.
Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together.
4 I souyte the Lord, and he herde me; and he delyueride me fro alle my tribulaciouns.
I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.
5 Neiye ye to him, and be ye liytned; and youre faces schulen not be schent.
Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.
6 This pore man criede, and the Lord herde hym; and sauyde hym fro alle hise tribulaciouns.
This poor man called out, and the LORD heard him; He saved him from all his troubles.
7 The aungel of the Lord sendith in the cumpas of men dredynge hym; and he schal delyuere hem.
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.
8 Taaste ye, and se, for the Lord is swete; blessid is the man, that hopith in hym.
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9 Alle ye hooli men of the Lord, drede hym; for no nedynesse is to men dredynge hym.
Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.
10 Riche men weren nedi, and weren hungri; but men that seken the Lord schulen not faile of al good.
Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
11 Come, ye sones, here ye me; Y schal teche you the drede of the Lord.
Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Who is a man, that wole lijf; loueth to se good daies?
Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days?
13 Forbede thi tunge fro yuel; and thi lippis speke not gile.
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.
14 Turne thou awei fro yuel, and do good; seke thou pees, and perfitli sue thou it.
Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
15 The iyen of the Lord ben on iust men; and hise eeren ben to her preiers.
The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry.
16 But the cheer of the Lord is on men doynge yuels; that he leese the mynde of hem fro erthe.
But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.
17 Just men cryeden, and the Lord herde hem; and delyueride hem fro alle her tribulaciouns.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nyy hem that ben of troblid herte; and he schal saue meke men in spirit.
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.
19 Many tribulaciouns ben of iust men; and the Lord schal delyuere hem fro alle these.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all.
20 The Lord kepith alle the boonys of hem; oon of tho schal not be brokun.
He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken.
21 The deth of synneris is werst; and thei that haten a iust man schulen trespasse.
Evil will slay the wicked, and the haters of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord schal ayenbie the soulis of hise seruauntis; and alle, that hopen in him, schulen not trespasse.
The LORD redeems His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
