< Psalmorum 27 >
1 David priusquam liniretur Dominus inluminatio mea et salus mea quem timebo Dominus protector vitae meae 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 adpropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas qui tribulant me et 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 adversus me castra non timebit cor meum si exsurgat adversus me proelium 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 omnes dies vitae meae ut videam voluntatem Domini et visitem templum eius
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 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 eius 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 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 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 adiutor meus esto ne derelinquas me neque dispicias me Deus salvator 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 adsumpsit 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 semita recta 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.
