< Psalms 36 >

1 `To victorie, to Dauid, `the seruaunt of the Lord. The vniust man seide, that he trespasse in hym silf; the drede of God is not bifor hise iyen.
לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ לְעֶבֶד־יְהֹוָה לְדָוִֽד׃ נְאֻֽם־פֶּשַׁע לָרָשָׁע בְּקֶרֶב לִבִּי אֵֽין־פַּחַד אֱלֹהִים לְנֶגֶד עֵינָֽיו׃
2 For he dide gilefuli in the siyt of God; that his wickidnesse be foundun to hatrede.
כִּֽי־הֶחֱלִיק אֵלָיו בְּעֵינָיו לִמְצֹא עֲוֺנוֹ לִשְׂנֹֽא׃
3 The wordis of his mouth ben wickidnesse and gile, he nolde vndirstonde to do wel.
דִּבְרֵי־פִיו אָוֶן וּמִרְמָה חָדַל לְהַשְׂכִּיל לְהֵיטִֽיב׃
4 He thouyte wickidnesse in his bed, he stood nyy al weie not good; forsothe he hatide not malice.
אָוֶן ׀ יַחְשֹׁב עַֽל־מִשְׁכָּבוֹ יִתְיַצֵּב עַל־דֶּרֶךְ לֹא־טוֹב רָע לֹא יִמְאָֽס׃
5 Lord, thi merci is in heuene; and thi treuthe is `til to cloudis.
יְהֹוָה בְּהַשָּׁמַיִם חַסְדֶּךָ אֱמוּנָתְךָ עַד־שְׁחָקִֽים׃
6 Thi riytfulnesse is as the hillis of God; thi domes ben myche depthe of watris. Lord, thou schalt saue men and beestis;
צִדְקָתְךָ ׀ כְּֽהַרְרֵי־אֵל מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ תְּהוֹם רַבָּה אָדָֽם וּבְהֵמָה תוֹשִׁיעַ יְהֹוָֽה׃
7 as thou, God, hast multiplied thi merci. But the sones of men; schulen hope in the hilyng of thi wyngis.
מַה־יָּקָר חַסְדְּךָ אֱלֹהִים וּבְנֵי אָדָם בְּצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ יֶחֱסָיֽוּן׃
8 Thei schulen be fillid gretli of the plentee of thin hows; and thou schalt yyue drynke to hem with the steef streem of thi likyng.
יִרְוְיֻן מִדֶּשֶׁן בֵּיתֶךָ וְנַחַל עֲדָנֶיךָ תַשְׁקֵֽם׃
9 For the wel of life is at thee; and in thi liyt we schulen se liyt.
כִּֽי־עִמְּךָ מְקוֹר חַיִּים בְּאוֹרְךָ נִרְאֶה־אֽוֹר׃
10 Lord, sette forth thi mercy to hem, that knowen thee; and thi ryytfulnesse to hem that ben of riytful herte.
מְשֹׁךְ חַסְדְּךָ לְיֹדְעֶיךָ וְצִדְקָֽתְךָ לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃
11 The foot of pryde come not to me; and the hond of the synnere moue me not.
אַל־תְּבוֹאֵנִי רֶגֶל גַּאֲוָה וְיַד־רְשָׁעִים אַל־תְּנִדֵֽנִי׃
12 There thei felden doun, that worchen wickidnesse; thei ben cast out, and myyten not stonde.
שָׁם נָפְלוּ פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן דֹּחוּ וְלֹא־יָכְלוּ קֽוּם׃
