Psalmorum 36
1 in finem servo Domini David dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semet ipso non est timor Dei ante oculos eius
`To victorie, to Dauid, `the seruaunt of the Lord. The vniust man seide, that he trespasse in hym silf; the drede of God is not bifor hise iyen.
2 quoniam dolose egit in conspectu eius ut inveniatur iniquitas eius ad odium
For he dide gilefuli in the siyt of God; that his wickidnesse be foundun to hatrede.
3 verba oris eius iniquitas et dolus noluit intellegere ut bene ageret
The wordis of his mouth ben wickidnesse and gile, he nolde vndirstonde to do wel.
4 iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo adstetit omni viae non bonae malitiam autem non odivit
He thouyte wickidnesse in his bed, he stood nyy al weie not good; forsothe he hatide not malice.
5 Domine in caelo misericordia tua et veritas tua usque ad nubes
Lord, thi merci is in heuene; and thi treuthe is `til to cloudis.
6 iustitia tua sicut montes Dei iudicia tua abyssus multa homines et iumenta salvabis Domine
Thi riytfulnesse is as the hillis of God; thi domes ben myche depthe of watris. Lord, thou schalt saue men and beestis;
7 quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt
as thou, God, hast multiplied thi merci. But the sones of men; schulen hope in the hilyng of thi wyngis.
8 inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae et torrente voluntatis tuae potabis eos
Thei schulen be fillid gretli of the plentee of thin hows; and thou schalt yyue drynke to hem with the steef streem of thi likyng.
9 quoniam apud te fons vitae in lumine tuo videbimus lumen
For the wel of life is at thee; and in thi liyt we schulen se liyt.
10 praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te et iustitiam tuam his qui recto sunt corde
Lord, sette forth thi mercy to hem, that knowen thee; and thi ryytfulnesse to hem that ben of riytful herte.
11 non veniat mihi pes superbiae et manus peccatoris non moveat me
The foot of pryde come not to me; and the hond of the synnere moue me not.
12 ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem expulsi sunt nec potuerunt stare
There thei felden doun, that worchen wickidnesse; thei ben cast out, and myyten not stonde.
