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