Psalmorum 44
1 In finem. Filiis Core ad intellectum.
`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.
2 [Deus, auribus nostris audivimus, patres nostri annuntiaverunt nobis, opus quod operatus es in diebus eorum, et in diebus antiquis.
Thin hond lost hethene men, and thou plauntidist hem; thou turmentidist puplis, and castidist hem out.
3 Manus tua gentes disperdidit, et plantasti eos; afflixisti populos, et expulisti eos.
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.
4 Nec enim in gladio suo possederunt terram, et brachium eorum non salvavit eos: sed dextera tua et brachium tuum, et illuminatio vultus tui, quoniam complacuisti in eis.
Thou art thi silf, my kyng and my God; that sendist helthis to Jacob.
5 Tu es ipse rex meus et Deus meus, qui mandas salutes Jacob.
Bi thee we schulen wyndewe oure enemyes with horn; and in thi name we schulen dispise hem, that risen ayen vs.
6 In te inimicos nostros ventilabimus cornu, et in nomine tuo spernemus insurgentes in nobis.
For Y schal not hope in my bouwe; and my swerd schal not saue me.
7 Non enim in arcu meo sperabo, et gladius meus non salvabit me:
For thou hast saued vs fro men turmentinge vs; and thou hast schent men hatinge vs.
8 salvasti enim nos de affligentibus nos, et odientes nos confudisti.
We schulen be preisid in God al dai; and in thi name we schulen knouleche to thee in to the world.
9 In Deo laudabimur tota die, et in nomine tuo confitebimur in sæculum.
But now thou hast put vs abac, and hast schent vs; and thou, God, schalt not go out in oure vertues.
10 Nunc autem repulisti et confudisti nos, et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris.
Thou hast turned vs awei bihynde aftir oure enemyes; and thei, that hatiden vs, rauyschiden dyuerseli to hem silf.
11 Avertisti nos retrorsum post inimicos nostros, et qui oderunt nos diripiebant sibi.
Thou hast youe vs as scheep of meetis; and among hethene men thou hast scaterid vs.
12 Dedisti nos tamquam oves escarum, et in gentibus dispersisti nos.
Thou hast seeld thi puple with out prijs; and multitude was not in the chaungyngis of hem.
13 Vendidisti populum tuum sine pretio, et non fuit multitudo in commutationibus eorum.
Thou hast set vs schenschip to oure neiyboris; mouwyng and scorn to hem that ben in oure cumpas.
14 Posuisti nos opprobrium vicinis nostris; subsannationem et derisum his qui sunt in circuitu nostro.
Thou hast set vs into licnesse to hethene me; stiryng of heed among puplis.
15 Posuisti nos in similitudinem gentibus; commotionem capitis in populis.
Al dai my schame is ayens me; and the schenschipe of my face hilide me.
16 Tota die verecundia mea contra me est, et confusio faciei meæ cooperuit me:
Fro the vois of dispisere, and yuele spekere; fro the face of enemy, and pursuere.
17 a voce exprobrantis et obloquentis, a facie inimici et persequentis.
Alle these thingis camen on vs, and we han not foryete thee; and we diden not wickidli in thi testament.
18 Hæc omnia venerunt super nos; nec obliti sumus te, et inique non egimus in testamento tuo.
And oure herte yede not awei bihynde; and thou hast bowid awei oure pathis fro thi weie.
19 Et non recessit retro cor nostrum; et declinasti semitas nostras a via tua:
For thou hast maad vs lowe in the place of turment; and the schadewe of deth hilide vs.
20 quoniam humiliasti nos in loco afflictionis, et cooperuit nos umbra mortis.
If we foryaten the name of oure God; and if we helden forth oure hondis to an alien God.
21 Si obliti sumus nomen Dei nostri, et si expandimus manus nostras ad deum alienum,
Whether God schal not seke these thingis? for he knowith the hid thingis of herte.
22 nonne Deus requiret ista? ipse enim novit abscondita cordis. Quoniam propter te mortificamur tota die; æstimati sumus sicut oves occisionis.
For whi we ben slayn al dai for thee; we ben demed as scheep of sleyng.
23 Exsurge; quare obdormis, Domine? exsurge, et ne repellas in finem.
Lord, rise vp, whi slepist thou? rise vp, and putte not awei in to the ende.
24 Quare faciem tuam avertis? oblivisceris inopiæ nostræ et tribulationis nostræ?
Whi turnest thou awei thi face? thou foryetist oure pouert, and oure tribulacioun.
25 Quoniam humiliata est in pulvere anima nostra; conglutinatus est in terra venter noster.
For oure lijf is maad low in dust; oure wombe is glued togidere in the erthe.
26 Exsurge, Domine, adjuva nos, et redime nos propter nomen tuum.]
Lord, rise vp thou, and helpe vs; and ayenbie vs for thi name.
