Psalms 63
1 `The salm of Dauid, `whanne he was in the desert of Judee. God, my God, Y wake to thee ful eerli. Mi soule thirstide to thee; my fleisch thirstide to thee ful many foold.
Psalmus David, cum esset in deserto Idumææ. [Deus, Deus meus, ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea; quam multipliciter tibi caro mea!
2 In a lond forsakun with out wei, and with out water, so Y apperide to thee in hooli; that Y schulde se thi vertu, and thi glorie.
In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa, sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.
3 For thi merci is betere than lyues; my lippis schulen herie thee.
Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas, labia mea laudabunt te.
4 So Y schal blesse thee in my lijf; and in thi name Y schal reise myn hondis.
Sic benedicam te in vita mea, et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.
5 Mi soule be fillid as with inner fatnesse and vttermere fatnesse; and my mouth schal herie with lippis of ful out ioiyng.
Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea, et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum.
6 So Y hadde mynde on thee on my bed, in morewtidis Y shal thenke of thee;
Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te.
7 for thou were myn helpere. And in the keueryng of thi wyngis Y schal make `ful out ioye, my soule cleuede after thee;
Quia fuisti adjutor meus, et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo.
8 thi riythond took me vp.
Adhæsit anima mea post te; me suscepit dextera tua.
9 Forsothe thei souyten in veyn my lijf, thei schulen entre in to the lower thingis of erthe;
Ipsi vero in vanum quæsierunt animam meam: introibunt in inferiora terræ;
10 thei schulen be bitakun in to the hondis of swerd, thei schulen be maad the partis of foxis.
tradentur in manus gladii: partes vulpium erunt.
11 But the king schal be glad in God; and alle men schulen be preysid that sweren in hym, for the mouth of hem, that speken wickid thingis, is stoppid.
Rex vero lætabitur in Deo; laudabuntur omnes qui jurant in eo: quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.]
