Psalms 90
1 The preier of Moises, the man of God. Lord, thou art maad help to vs; fro generacioun in to generacioun.
Oratio Moysi, hominis Dei. [Domine, refugium factus es nobis a generatione in generationem.
2 Bifore that hillis weren maad, ether the erthe and the world was formed; fro the world and in to the world thou art God.
Priusquam montes fierent, aut formaretur terra et orbis, a sæculo et usque in sæculum tu es, Deus.
3 Turne thou not awei a man in to lownesse; and thou seidist, Ye sones of men, be conuertid.
Ne avertas hominem in humilitatem: et dixisti: Convertimini, filii hominum.
4 For a thousynde yeer ben bifore thin iyen; as yistirdai, which is passid, and as keping in the niyt.
Quoniam mille anni ante oculos tuos tamquam dies hesterna quæ præteriit: et custodia in nocte
5 The yeeris of hem schulen be; that ben had for nouyt.
quæ pro nihilo habentur, eorum anni erunt.
6 Eerli passe he, as an eerbe, eerli florische he, and passe; in the euentid falle he doun, be he hard, and wexe drie.
Mane sicut herba transeat; mane floreat, et transeat; vespere decidat, induret, et arescat.
7 For we han failid in thin ire; and we ben disturblid in thi strong veniaunce.
Quia defecimus in ira tua, et in furore tuo turbati sumus.
8 Thou hast set oure wickidnessis in thi siyt; oure world in the liytning of thi cheer.
Posuisti iniquitates nostras in conspectu tuo; sæculum nostrum in illuminatione vultus tui.
9 For alle oure daies han failid; and we han failid in thin ire. Oure yeris schulen bithenke, as an yreyn;
Quoniam omnes dies nostri defecerunt, et in ira tua defecimus. Anni nostri sicut aranea meditabuntur;
10 the daies of oure yeeris ben in tho seuenti yeeris. Forsothe, if fourescoor yeer ben in myyti men; and the more tyme of hem is trauel and sorewe. For myldenesse cam aboue; and we schulen be chastisid.
dies annorum nostrorum in ipsis septuaginta anni. Si autem in potentatibus octoginta anni, et amplius eorum labor et dolor; quoniam supervenit mansuetudo, et corripiemur.
11 Who knew the power of thin ire; and durste noumbre thin ire for thi drede?
Quis novit potestatem iræ tuæ, et præ timore tuo iram tuam
12 Make thi riythond so knowun; and make men lerned in herte bi wisdom.
dinumerare? Dexteram tuam sic notam fac, et eruditos corde in sapientia.
13 Lord, be thou conuertid sumdeel; and be thou able to be preied on thi seruauntis.
Convertere, Domine; usquequo? et deprecabilis esto super servos tuos.
14 We weren fillid eerli with thi merci; we maden ful out ioye, and we delitiden in alle oure daies.
Repleti sumus mane misericordia tua; et exsultavimus, et delectati sumus omnibus diebus nostris.
15 We weren glad for the daies in whiche thou madist vs meke; for the yeeris in whiche we siyen yuels.
Lætati sumus pro diebus quibus nos humiliasti; annis quibus vidimus mala.
16 Lord, biholde thou into thi seruauntis, and in to thi werkis; and dresse thou the sones of hem.
Respice in servos tuos et in opera tua, et dirige filios eorum.
17 And the schynyng of oure Lord God be on vs; and dresse thou the werkis of oure hondis on vs, and dresse thou the werk of oure hondis.
Et sit splendor Domini Dei nostri super nos, et opera manuum nostrarum dirige super nos, et opus manuum nostrarum dirige.]
