PSALM XCIII.
The thre and nyntithe salm note.
1 God is Lord of veniauncis; God of
veniauncis dide freli.
2 Be thou enhaunsid
-- --
that demest the erthe; &yogh;elde thou &yogh;eldinge
to proude men.
3 Lord, hou longe synneris;
hou longe schulen synneris haue glorie?
4 Thei schulen telle out, and schulen speke
wickidnesse; alle men schulen speke that
worchen vnri&yogh;tfulnesse.
5 Lord, thei han
maad lowe thi puple; and thei han disesid
thin eritage.
6 Thei killiden a widowe and
a comelyng; and thei han slayn fadirles
children and modirles.
7 And thei seiden,
The Lord schal not se; and God of Jacob
schal not vndurstonde.
8 &YOGH;e vnwise men in
the puple, vndirstonde; and, &yogh;e foolis, lerne
sum tyme.
9 Schal not he here, that plauntide
the eere; ethere biholdith not he, that
made the i&yogh;e?
10 Schal not he repreue, that
chastisith folkis; which techith man kunnyng?
11 The Lord knowith the thou&yogh;tis of
men; that tho ben veyne.
12 Blessid is the
man, whom thou, Lord, hast lerned; and
hast tau&yogh;t him of thi lawe.
13 That thou
aswage hym fro yuele daies; til a diche
be diggid to the synner.
14 For the Lord
schal not putte awei his puple; and he
schal not forsake his eritage.
15 Til ri&yogh;tfulnesse
be turned in to dom; and who ben
ni&yogh; it, alle that ben of ri&yogh;tful herte.
16 Who
schal rise with me a&yogh;ens mysdoeris; ether
who schal stonde with me a&yogh;ens hem that
worchen wickidnesse?
17 No but for the
Lord helpide me; almest my soule hadde
dwellid in helle.
18 If Y seide, My foot was
stirid; Lord, thi merci helpide me.
19 Aftir
the multitude of my sorewis in myn herte;
thi coumfortis maden glad my soule.
20 Whether
the seete of wickidnesse cleueth to
thee; that makist trauel in comaundement?
21 Thei schulen take a&yogh;ens the soule
of a iust man; and thei schulen condempne
innocent blood.
22 And the Lord was maad
to me in to refuyt; and my God was maad
in to the help of myn hope.
23 And he
schal &yogh;elde to hem the wickidnesse of hem;
and in the malice of hem he schal lese
hem, oure Lord God schal lese hem.
