Psalmorum 59
1 In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, quando misit Saul et custodivit domum ejus ut eum interficeret. [Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus, et ab insurgentibus in me libera me.
`In Jeroms translacioun thus, To the ouercomer, that thou lese not Dauid, meke and simple, `whanne Saul sente and kepte the hous, to slee hym. `In Ebreu thus, To the ouercomyng, leese thou not the semeli song of Dauid, and so forth. Mi God, delyuer thou me fro myn enemyes; and delyuer thou me fro hem that risen ayens me.
2 Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem, et de viris sanguinum salva me.
Delyuer thou me fro hem that worchen wickidnesse; and saue thou me fro menquelleris.
3 Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam; irruerunt in me fortes.
For lo! thei han take my soule; stronge men fellen in on me.
4 Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum, Domine; sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi.
Nethir my wickidnesse, nether my synne; Lord, Y ran with out wickidnesse, and dresside `my werkis.
5 Exsurge in occursum meum, et vide: et tu, Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Israël, intende ad visitandas omnes gentes: non miserearis omnibus qui operantur iniquitatem.
Rise vp thou in to my meetyng, and se; and thou, Lord God of vertues, art God of Israel. Yyue thou tent to visite alle folkis; do thou not merci to alle that worchen wickidnesse.
6 Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem.
Thei schulen be turned at euentid, and thei as doggis schulen suffre hungir; and thei schulen cumpas the citee.
7 Ecce loquentur in ore suo, et gladius in labiis eorum: quoniam quis audivit?
Lo! thei schulen speke in her mouth, and a swerd in her lippis; for who herde?
8 Et tu, Domine, deridebis eos; ad nihilum deduces omnes gentes.
And thou, Lord, schalt scorne hem; thou schalt bringe alle folkis to nouyt.
9 Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam, quia, Deus, susceptor meus es:
I schal kepe my strengthe to thee;
10 Deus meus misericordia ejus præveniet me.
for God is myn vptaker, my God, his mercy schal come byfore me.
11 Deus ostendet mihi super inimicos meos: ne occidas eos, nequando obliviscantur populi mei. Disperge illos in virtute tua, et depone eos, protector meus, Domine:
God schewide to me on myn enemyes, slee thou not hem; lest ony tyme my puples foryete. Scatere thou hem in thi vertu; and, Lord, my defender, putte thou hem doun.
12 delictum oris eorum, sermonem labiorum ipsorum; et comprehendantur in superbia sua. Et de execratione et mendacio annuntiabuntur
Putte thou doun the trespas of her mouth, and the word of her lippis; and be thei takun in her pride. And of cursyng and of leesyng; thei schulen be schewid in the endyng.
13 in consummatione: in ira consummationis, et non erunt. Et scient quia Deus dominabitur Jacob, et finium terræ.
In the ire of ending, and thei schulen not be; and thei schulen wite, that the Lord schal be Lord of Jacob, and of the endis of erthe.
14 Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem.
Thei schulen be turned at euentid, and thei as doggis schulen suffre hungur; and thei schulen cumpas the citee.
15 Ipsi dispergentur ad manducandum; si vero non fuerint saturati, et murmurabunt.
Thei schulen be scaterid abrood, for to eete; sotheli if thei ben not fillid, and thei schulen grutche.
16 Ego autem cantabo fortitudinem tuam, et exsultabo mane misericordiam tuam: quia factus es susceptor meus, et refugium meum in die tribulationis meæ.
But Y schal synge thi strengthe; and eerli Y schal enhaunse thi merci. For thou art maad myn vptaker; and my refuyt, in the dai of my tribulacioun.
17 Adjutor meus, tibi psallam, quia Deus susceptor meus es; Deus meus, misericordia mea.]
Myn helper, Y schal synge to thee; for thou art God, myn vptaker, my God, my mercy.
