Psalmorum 27
1 Psalmus David, priusquam liniretur. [Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea: quem timebo? Dominus protector vitæ meæ: a quo trepidabo?
To Dauid. The Lord is my liytnyng, and myn helthe; whom schal Y drede? The Lord is defendere of my lijf; for whom schal Y tremble?
2 Dum appropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas, qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
The while noiful men neiyen on me; for to ete my fleischis. Myn enemyes, that trobliden me; thei weren maad sijk and felden doun.
3 Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum; si exsurgat adversum me prælium, in hoc ego sperabo.
Thouy castels stonden togidere ayens me; myn herte schal not drede. Thouy batel risith ayens me; in this thing Y schal haue hope.
4 Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram, ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitæ meæ; ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum ejus.
I axide of the Lord o thing; Y schal seke this thing; that Y dwelle in the hows of the Lord alle the daies of my lijf. That Y se the wille of the Lord; and that Y visite his temple.
5 Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo; in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui.
For he hidde me in his tabernacle in the dai of yuelis; he defendide me in the hid place of his tabernacle.
6 In petra exaltavit me, et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos. Circuivi, et immolavi in tabernaculo ejus hostiam vociferationis; cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino.
He enhaunside me in a stoon; and now he enhaunside myn heed ouer myn enemyes. I cumpasside, and offride in his tabernacle a sacrifice of criyng; Y schal synge, and Y schal seie salm to the Lord.
7 Exaudi, Domine, vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te; miserere mei, et exaudi me.
Lord, here thou my vois, bi which Y criede to thee; haue thou merci on me, and here me.
8 Tibi dixit cor meum: Exquisivit te facies mea; faciem tuam, Domine, requiram.
Myn herte seide to thee, My face souyte thee; Lord, Y schal seke eft thi face.
9 Ne avertas faciem tuam a me; ne declines in ira a servo tuo. Adjutor meus esto; ne derelinquas me, neque despicias me, Deus salutaris meus.
Turne thou not awei thi face fro me; bouwe thou not awei in ire fro thi seruaunt. Lord, be thou myn helpere, forsake thou not me; and, God, myn helthe, dispise thou not me.
10 Quoniam pater meus et mater mea dereliquerunt me; Dominus autem assumpsit me.
For my fadir and my modir han forsake me; but the Lord hath take me.
11 Legem pone mihi, Domine, in via tua, et dirige me in semitam rectam, propter inimicos meos.
Lord, sette thou a lawe to me in thi weie; and dresse thou me in thi path for myn enemyes.
12 Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me, quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui, et mentita est iniquitas sibi.
Bitake thou not me in to the soules of hem, that troblen me; for wickid witnessis han rise ayens me, and wickydnesse liede to it silf.
13 Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium.
I bileue to see the goodis of the Lord; in the lond of `hem that lyuen.
14 Expecta Dominum, viriliter age: et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum.]
Abide thou the Lord, do thou manli; and thin herte be coumfortid, and suffre thou the Lord.
