PSALM XVIII.
1 The title of the ei&yogh;tenthe salm. To victorie,
the salm of Dauid.
2 Heuenes tellen out the glorie of God;
and the firmament tellith the werkis of
hise hondis.
3 The dai tellith out to the
dai a word; and the ny&yogh;t schewith kunnyng
to the ny&yogh;t.
4 No langagis ben, nether
wordis; of whiche the voices of hem ben
not herd.
5 The soun of hem &yogh;ede out in to
al erthe; and the wordis of hem `&yogh;eden out
in to the endis of the world.
6 In the sunne
he hath set his tabernacle; and he as a
spouse comynge forth of his chaumbre.
-- --
He fulli ioyede, as a giaunt, to renne his
weie;
7 his goynge out was fro hi&yogh;este heuene.
And his goyng a&yogh;en was to the
hi&yogh;este therof; and noon is that hidith
hym silf fro his heet.
8 The lawe of the
Lord is with out wem, and conuertith
soulis; the witnessyng of the Lord is
feithful, and &yogh;yueth wisdom to litle children.
9 The ri&yogh;tfulnessis of the Lord ben
ri&yogh;tful, gladdynge hertis; the comaundement
of the Lord is cleere, li&yogh;tnynge i&yogh;en.
10 The hooli drede of the Lord dwellith in to
world of world; the domes of the Lord
ben trewe, iustified in to hem silf.
11 Desirable
more than gold, and a stoon myche
preciouse; and swettere than hony and
honycoomb.
12 `Forwhi thi seruaunt kepith
thoo; myche &yogh;eldyng is in tho to be kept.
13 Who vndurstondith trespassis? make thou
me cleene fro my priuy synnes;
14 and of
alien synnes spare thi seruaunt. `If the
forseid defautis ben not, Lord, of me,
than Y schal be with out wem; and Y schal
be clensid of the mooste synne.
15 And the
spechis of my mouth schulen be, that
tho plese; and the thenkynge of myn
herte euere in thi si&yogh;t. Lord, myn
helpere; and myn a&yogh;enbiere.
