Psalms 44
1 `To victorie, lernyng to the sones of Chore. God, we herden with oure eeris; oure fadris telden to vs. The werk, which thou wrouytist in the daies of hem; and in elde daies.
in finem filiis Core ad intellectum
2 Thin hond lost hethene men, and thou plauntidist hem; thou turmentidist puplis, and castidist hem out.
Deus auribus nostris audivimus patres nostri adnuntiaverunt nobis opus quod operatus es in diebus eorum in diebus antiquis
3 For the children of Israel weldiden the lond not bi her swerd; and the arm of hem sauyde not hem. But thi riyt hond, and thin arm, and the liytnyng of thi cheer; for thou were plesid in hem.
manus tua gentes disperdit et plantasti eos adflixisti populos et expulisti eos
4 Thou art thi silf, my kyng and my God; that sendist helthis to Jacob.
nec enim in gladio suo possederunt terram et brachium eorum non salvavit eos sed dextera tua et brachium tuum et inluminatio faciei tuae quoniam conplacuisti in eis
5 Bi thee we schulen wyndewe oure enemyes with horn; and in thi name we schulen dispise hem, that risen ayen vs.
tu es ipse rex meus et Deus meus qui mandas salutes Iacob
6 For Y schal not hope in my bouwe; and my swerd schal not saue me.
in te inimicos nostros ventilabimus cornu et in nomine tuo spernemus insurgentes in nobis
7 For thou hast saued vs fro men turmentinge vs; and thou hast schent men hatinge vs.
non enim in arcu meo sperabo et gladius meus non salvabit me
8 We schulen be preisid in God al dai; and in thi name we schulen knouleche to thee in to the world.
salvasti enim nos de adfligentibus nos et odientes nos confudisti
9 But now thou hast put vs abac, and hast schent vs; and thou, God, schalt not go out in oure vertues.
in Deo laudabimur tota die et in nomine tuo confitebimur in saeculum diapsalma
10 Thou hast turned vs awei bihynde aftir oure enemyes; and thei, that hatiden vs, rauyschiden dyuerseli to hem silf.
nunc autem reppulisti et confudisti nos et non egredieris in virtutibus nostris
11 Thou hast youe vs as scheep of meetis; and among hethene men thou hast scaterid vs.
avertisti nos retrorsum post inimicos nostros et qui oderunt nos diripiebant sibi
12 Thou hast seeld thi puple with out prijs; and multitude was not in the chaungyngis of hem.
dedisti nos tamquam oves escarum et in gentibus dispersisti nos
13 Thou hast set vs schenschip to oure neiyboris; mouwyng and scorn to hem that ben in oure cumpas.
vendidisti populum tuum sine pretio et non fuit multitudo in commutationibus nostris
14 Thou hast set vs into licnesse to hethene me; stiryng of heed among puplis.
posuisti nos obprobrium vicinis nostris subsannationem et derisum his qui in circuitu nostro
15 Al dai my schame is ayens me; and the schenschipe of my face hilide me.
posuisti nos in similitudinem gentibus commotionem capitis in populis
16 Fro the vois of dispisere, and yuele spekere; fro the face of enemy, and pursuere.
tota die verecundia mea contra me est et confusio faciei meae cooperuit me
17 Alle these thingis camen on vs, and we han not foryete thee; and we diden not wickidli in thi testament.
a voce exprobrantis et obloquentis a facie inimici et persequentis
18 And oure herte yede not awei bihynde; and thou hast bowid awei oure pathis fro thi weie.
haec omnia venerunt super nos nec obliti sumus te et inique non egimus in testamento tuo
19 For thou hast maad vs lowe in the place of turment; and the schadewe of deth hilide vs.
et non recessit retrorsum cor nostrum et declinasti semitas nostras a via tua
20 If we foryaten the name of oure God; and if we helden forth oure hondis to an alien God.
quoniam humiliasti nos in loco adflictionis et cooperuit nos umbra mortis
21 Whether God schal not seke these thingis? for he knowith the hid thingis of herte.
si obliti sumus nomen Dei nostri et si expandimus manus nostras ad deum alienum
22 For whi we ben slayn al dai for thee; we ben demed as scheep of sleyng.
nonne Deus requiret ista ipse enim novit abscondita cordis quoniam propter te mortificamur omni die aestimati sumus sicut oves occisionis
23 Lord, rise vp, whi slepist thou? rise vp, and putte not awei in to the ende.
exsurge quare dormis Domine exsurge et ne repellas in finem
24 Whi turnest thou awei thi face? thou foryetist oure pouert, and oure tribulacioun.
quare faciem tuam avertis oblivisceris inopiae nostrae et tribulationis nostrae
25 For oure lijf is maad low in dust; oure wombe is glued togidere in the erthe.
quoniam humiliata est in pulvere anima nostra conglutinatus est in terra venter noster
26 Lord, rise vp thou, and helpe vs; and ayenbie vs for thi name.
exsurge adiuva nos et redime nos propter nomen tuum
