Psalms 7
1 For the ignoraunce of Dauid, which he songe to the Lord on the wordis of Ethiopien, the sone of Gemyny. Mi Lord God, Y haue hopid in thee; make thou me saaf fro alle that pursuen me, and delyuere thou me.
A SHIGGAION OF DAVID, THAT HE SUNG TO YHWH CONCERNING THE WORDS OF CUSH, A BENJAMITE. O YHWH, my God, in You I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
2 Lest ony tyme he as a lioun rauysche my soule; the while noon is that ayenbieth, nether that makith saaf.
Lest he tear my soul as a lion, Tearing, and there is no deliverer.
3 Mi Lord God, if Y dide this thing, if wickidnesse is in myn hondis;
O YHWH, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
4 if Y `yeldide to men yeldynge to me yuels, falle Y `bi disseruyng voide fro myn enemyes;
If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw my adversary without cause,
5 myn enemy pursue my soule, and take, and defoule my lijf in erthe; and brynge my glorie in to dust.
[Then] an enemy pursues my soul, and overtakes, And treads down my life to the earth, And places my glory in the dust. (Selah)
6 Lord, rise thou vp in thin ire; and be thou reysid in the coostis of myn enemyes.
Rise, O YHWH, in Your anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of my adversaries, And awake Yourself for me: You have commanded judgment.
7 And, my Lord God, rise thou in the comaundement, which thou `hast comaundid; and the synagoge of puplis schal cumpasse thee.
And a congregation of peoples surround You, And over it turn back on high.
8 And for this go thou ayen an hiy; the Lord demeth puplis. Lord, deme thou me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi myn innocence on me.
YHWH judges the peoples; Judge me, O YHWH, According to my righteousness, And according to my integrity [that is] on me.
9 The wickidnesse of synneris be endid; and thou, God, sekyng the hertis and reynes, schalt dresse a iust man.
Please let the evil of the wicked be ended, And establish the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
10 Mi iust help is of the Lord; that makith saaf riytful men in herte.
My shield [is] on God, Savior of the upright in heart!
11 The Lord is a iust iuge, stronge and pacient; whether he is wrooth bi alle daies?
God [is] judging right, And He is not angry at all times.
12 If ye ben `not conuertid, he schal florische his swerd; he hath bent his bouwe, and made it redi.
If [one] does not turn, He sharpens His sword, He has bent His bow [and] He prepares it,
13 And therynne he hath maad redi the vessels of deth; he hath fulli maad his arewis with brennynge thingis.
Indeed, He has prepared for Himself Instruments of death, He makes His arrows for burning pursuers.
14 Lo! he conseyuede sorewe; he peynfuli brouyte forth vnriytfulnesse, and childide wickidnesse.
Behold, he travails [with] iniquity, And he has conceived perverseness, And has brought forth falsehood.
15 He openide a lake, and diggide it out; and he felde in to the dich which he made.
He has prepared a pit, and he digs it, And he falls into a ditch he makes.
16 His sorewe schal be turned in to his heed; and his wickidnesse schal come doun in to his necke.
His perverseness returns on his head, And his violence comes down on his crown.
17 I schal knouleche to the Lord bi his riytfulnesse; and Y schal synge to the name of the hiyeste Lord.
I thank YHWH, According to His righteousness, And I praise the Name of YHWH Most High!
