PSALM CXXXVIII.
The `title of the hundrid and ei&yogh;te and
thrittithe salm. `To victorie, the salm
of Dauith.
1 Lord, thou hast preued me, and hast
knowe me;
2 thou hast knowe my sitting,
and my rising a&yogh;en.
3 Thou hast vndirstonde
-- --
my thou&yogh;tis fro fer; thou hast
enquerid my path and my corde.
4 And
thou hast bifor seien alle my weies; for
no word is in my tunge.
5 Lo! Lord, thou
hast knowe alle thingis, the laste thingis
and elde; thou hast formed me, and hast
set thin hond on me.
6 Thi kunnyng is
maad wondirful of me; it is coumfortid,
and Y schal not mowe to it.
7 Whidir
schal Y go fro thi spirit; and whider
schal Y fle fro thi face?
8 If Y schal stie
in to heuene, thou art there; if Y schal
go doun to helle, thou art present.
9 If
Y schal take my fetheris ful eerli; and
schal dwelle in the last partis of the see.
10 And sotheli thider thin hond schal leede
me forth; and thi ri&yogh;t hond schal holde
me.
11 And Y seide, In hap derknessis
schulen defoule me; and the ny&yogh;t is my
li&yogh;tnyng in my delicis.
12 For whi derknessis
schulen not be maad derk fro thee,
aud the ni&yogh;t schal be li&yogh;tned as the dai; as
the derknessis therof, so and the li&yogh;t therof.
13 For thou haddist in possessioun my reines;
thou tokist me vp fro the wombe of my
modir.
14 I schal knouleche to thee, for
thou art magnefied dreedfuli; thi werkis
ben wondirful, and my soule schal knouleche
ful miche.
15 Mi boon, which thou
madist in priuete, is not hyd fro thee; and
my substaunce in the lower partis of erthe.
16 Thin i&yogh;en sien myn vnperfit thing, and
alle men schulen be writun in thi book;
daies schulen be formed, and no man is
in tho.
17 Forsothe, God, thi frendis ben
maad onourable ful myche to me; the
princeheed of hem is coumfortid ful
myche.
18 I schal noumbre hem, and thei
schulen be multiplied aboue grauel; Y
roos vp, and &yogh;it Y am with thee.
19 For
thou, God, schalt slee synneris; &yogh;e menquelleris,
bowe awei fro me.
20 For &yogh;e
seien in thou&yogh;t; Take thei her citees in
vanite.
21 Lord, whether Y hatide not hem
that hatiden thee; and Y failide on thin
-- --
enemyes?
22 Bi perfite haterede Y hatide
hem; thei weren maad enemyes to me.
23 God, preue thou me, and knowe thou myn
herte; axe thou me, and knowe thou my
pathis.
24 And se thou, if weie of wickidnesse
is in me; and lede thou me forth
in euerlastinge wei.
