1 The title of the eiythe salm. To the ouercomere, for pressours, the salm of Dauid.
1 The title of the nynthe salm. In to the ende, for the pryuytees of the sone, the salm of Dauid.
1 Lord, whi hast thou go fer awei? thou dispisist `in couenable tymes in tribulacioun.
2 Lord, thou art oure Lord; thi name is ful wonderful in al erthe. For thi greet doyng is reisid, aboue heuenes.
2 Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; Y schal telle alle thi merueils.
2 While the wickid is proud, the pore man is brent; thei ben taken in the counsels, bi whiche thei thenken.
3 Of the mouth of yonge children, not spekynge and soukynge mylk, thou madist perfitli heriyng, for thin enemyes; that thou destrie the enemy and avengere.
3 Thou hiyeste, Y schal be glad, and Y schal be fulli ioieful in thee; Y schal synge to thi name.
3 Forwhi the synnere is preisid in the desiris of his soule; and the wickid is blessid.
4 For Y schal se thin heuenes, the werkis of thi fyngris; the moone and sterris, whiche thou hast foundid.
4 For thou turnest myn enemy abac; thei schulen be maad feble, and schulen perische fro thi face.
4 The synnere `wraththide the Lord; vp the multitude of his ire he schal not seke.
5 What is a man, that thou art myndeful of hym; ethir the sone of a virgyn, for thou visitist hym?
5 For thou hast maad my doom and my cause; thou, that demest riytfulnesse, `hast set on the trone.
5 God is not in his siyt; hise weies ben defoulid in al tyme. God, thi domes ben takun awei fro his face; he schal be lord of alle hise enemyes.
6 Thou hast maad hym a litil lesse than aungels; thou hast corouned hym with glorie and onour,
6 Thou blamedist hethene men, and the wickid perischide; thou hast do awei the name of hem in to the world, and in to the world of world.
6 For he seide in his herte, Y schal not be moued, fro generacioun in to generacioun without yuel.
7 and hast ordeyned hym aboue the werkis of thin hondis.
7 The swerdis of the enemy failiden in to the ende; and thou hast distried the citees of hem. The mynde of hem perischide with sown;
7 `Whos mouth is ful of cursyng, and of bitternesse, and of gyle; trauel and sorewe is vndur his tunge.
8 Thou hast maad suget alle thingis vndur hise feet; alle scheep and oxis, ferthermore and the beestis of the feeld;
8 and the Lord dwellith with outen ende. He made redi his trone in doom; and he schal deme the world in equite,
8 He sittith in aspies with ryche men in priuytees; to sle the innocent man.
9 the briddis of the eir, and the fischis of the see; that passen bi the pathis of the see.
9 9 he schal deme puplis in riytfulnesse.
9 Hise iyen biholden on a pore man; he settith aspies in hid place, as a lioun in his denne. He settith aspies, for to rauysche a pore man; for to rauysche a pore man, while he drawith the pore man.
10 Lord, `thou art oure Lord; thi name `is wondurful in al erthe.
10 And the Lord is maad refuyt, `ether help, `to a pore man; an helpere in couenable tymes in tribulacioun.
10 In his snare he schal make meke the pore man; he schal bowe hym silf, and schal falle doun, whanne he hath be lord of pore men.
11 And thei, that knowen thi name, haue hope in thee; for thou, Lord, hast not forsake hem that seken thee.
11 For he seide in his herte, God hath foryete; he hath turned awei his face, that he se not in to the ende.
12 Synge ye to the Lord, that dwellith in Syon; telle ye hise studyes among hethene men.
12 Lord God, rise thou vp, and thin hond be enhaunsid; foryete thou not pore men.
13 God foryetith not the cry of pore men; for he hath mynde, and sekith the blood of hem.
13 For what thing terride the wickid man God to wraththe? for he seide in his herte, God schal not seke.
14 Lord, haue thou merci on me; se thou my mekenesse of myn enemyes.
14 Thou seest, for thou biholdist trauel and sorewe; that thou take hem in to thin hondis. The pore man is left to thee; thou schalt be an helpere to the fadirles and modirles.
15 Which enhaunsist me fro the yatis of deeth; that Y telle alle thi preisyngis in the yatis of the douyter of Syon.
15 Al to-breke thou the arme of the synnere, and yuel willid; his synne schal be souyt, and it schal not be foundun.
16 Y schal `be fulli ioyeful in thin helthe; hethene men ben fast set in the perisching, which thei maden. In this snare, which thei hidden, the foot of hem is kauyt.
16 The Lord schal regne with outen ende, and in to the world of world; folkis, ye schulen perische fro the lond of hym.
17 The Lord makynge domes schal be knowun; the synnere is takun in the werkis of hise hondis.
17 The Lord hath herd the desir of pore men; thin eere hath herd the makyng redi of her herte.
18 Synneris be turned togidere in to helle; alle folkis, that foryeten God.
18 To deme for the modirles `and meke; that a man `leie to no more to `magnyfie hym silf on erthe.
19 For the foryetyng of a pore man schal not be in to the ende; the pacience of pore men schal not perische in to the ende.
20 Lord, rise thou vp, a man be not coumfortid; folkis be demyd in thi siyt.
21 Lord, ordeine thou a lawe makere on hem; wite folkis, that thei ben men.
