PSALM XXXVII.
1 The salm of Dauid, in remembring of
the saboth.
2 noteLord, in thi wodnesse ne undernyme
thou me; ne in thi wrathe chastise thou
me.
3 For thin arwis ben in ficchid to
me; and thou hast confermed thin hond
vp on me.
4 Ther is not helthe in my
flesh fro the face of thi wrathe; ther is
not pes to my bones fro the face of my
synnes.
5 For my wickidnesses ouer&yogh;iden
myn hed; and as a greuous charge thei
ben heuyed vp on me.
6 Myne woundis
stunken, and ben roten; fro the face of
myn vnwisdam.
7 A wrecche I am maad,
and am crookid vnto the ende; al dai al
dreri I wente in.
8 For my leendis ben
fulfild with deceytis; and ther is not
helthe in my flesh.
9 I am tormentid, and
I am meked ful myche; I rorede from
the weiling of myn herte.
10 Lord, befor
thee al my desyr; and my weiling fro
thee is not hid.
11 Myn herte is al disturbid
-- --
in me; my vertu hath forsake me,
and li&yogh;t of myn e&yogh;en, and it is not with
me.
12 My frendis and my ne&yogh;hebores; a&yogh;en
me ne&yogh;heden and stoden. And that besiden
me weren fro aferr stoden;
13 and
fors thei maden that so&yogh;ten my soule.
And that inwardli so&yogh;ten euelis to me,
speeken vanytees; and treccheries al day
swetely thei tho&yogh;ten.
14 I forsothe as def
herde not; and as doumb not openende
my mouth.
15 And I am maad as a man
not herende; and not havende in his
mouth a&yogh;en vndernemyngus.
16 For in thee,
Lord, I hopede; thou shalt ful out heren
me, Lord, my God.
17 For I seide, Lest any
time ouer io&yogh;en to me myn enemys; and
whil al to-stirid ben my feet vp on me,
grete thingus thei speeken.
18 For I in to
scourgis am redi; and my sorewe in my
si&yogh;te euermor.
19 For my wickidnesse I
shal telle out; and I shal thenken for my
synne.
20 Forsothe myn enemys lyuen,
and ben confermed vpon me; and ben
multeplied, that wickeli hateden me.
That &yogh;elden euelis for goodis, bacbiteden
to me; for I folewede goodnesse.
21 Ne forsake
thou me, Lord, my God; ne go thou
awei fro me.
22 Tac heede in to myn helpe;
Lord God of myn helthe.
