Psalmorum 17
1 oratio David exaudi Domine iustitiam meam intende deprecationem meam auribus percipe orationem meam non in labiis dolosis
The preier of Dauid. Lord, here thou my riytfulnesse; biholde thou my preier. Perseuye thou with eeris my preier; not maad in gileful lippis.
2 de vultu tuo iudicium meum prodeat oculi tui videant aequitates
Mi doom come `forth of thi cheer; thin iyen se equite.
3 probasti cor meum visitasti nocte igne me examinasti et non est inventa in me iniquitas
Thou hast preued myn herte, and hast visitid in niyt; thou hast examynyd me bi fier, and wickidnesse is not foundun in me.
4 ut non loquatur os meum opera hominum propter verba labiorum tuorum ego custodivi vias duras
That my mouth speke not the werkis of men; for the wordis of thi lippis Y haue kept harde weies.
5 perfice gressus meos in semitis tuis ut non moveantur vestigia mea
Make thou perfit my goyngis in thi pathis; that my steppis be not moued.
6 ego clamavi quoniam exaudisti me Deus inclina aurem tuam mihi et exaudi verba mea
I criede, for thou, God, herdist me; bowe doun thin eere to me, and here thou my wordis.
7 mirifica misericordias tuas qui salvos facis sperantes in te
Make wondurful thi mercies; that makist saaf `men hopynge in thee.
8 a resistentibus dexterae tuae custodi me ut pupillam oculi sub umbra alarum tuarum proteges me
Kepe thou me as the appil of the iye; fro `men ayenstondynge thi riyt hond. Keuere thou me vndur the schadewe of thi wyngis;
9 a facie impiorum qui me adflixerunt inimici mei animam meam circumdederunt super me;
fro the face of vnpitouse men, that han turmentid me. Myn enemyes han cumpassid my soule;
10 adipem suum concluserunt os eorum locutum est superbia
thei han closide togidere her fatnesse; the mouth of hem spak pride.
11 proicientes me nunc circumdederunt me oculos suos statuerunt declinare in terram
Thei castiden me forth, and han cumpassid me now; thei ordeyneden to bowe doun her iyen in to erthe.
12 susceperunt me sicut leo paratus ad praedam et sicut catulus leonis habitans in abditis
Thei, as a lioun maad redi to prey, han take me; and as the whelp of a lioun dwellynge in hid places.
13 exsurge Domine praeveni eum et subplanta eum eripe animam meam ab impio frameam tuam
Lord, rise thou vp, bifor come thou hym, and disseyue thou hym; delyuere thou my lijf fro the `vnpitouse,
14 ab inimicis manus tuae Domine a paucis de terra divide eos in vita eorum de absconditis tuis adimpletus est venter eorum saturati sunt filiis et dimiserunt reliquias suas parvulis suis
delyuere thou thi swerd fro the enemyes of thin hond. Lord, departe thou hem fro a fewe men of `the lond in the lijf of hem; her wombe is fillid of thin hid thingis. Thei ben fillid with sones; and thei leften her relifis to her litle children.
15 ego autem in iustitia apparebo conspectui tuo satiabor cum apparuerit gloria tua
But Y in riytfulnesse schal appere to thi siyt; Y schal be fillid, whanne thi glorie schal appere.
