| 1 | 108:1 The title of the hundrid and eiytthe salm. To victorye, the salm of Dauid. |
| 2 | 108:2 God, holde thou not stille my preisyng; for the mouth of the synner, and the mouth of the gileful man is openyd on me. |
| 3 | 108:3 Thei spaken ayens me with a gileful tunge, and thei cumpassiden me with wordis of hatrede; and fouyten ayens me with out cause. |
| 4 | 108:4 For that thing that thei schulden loue me, thei bacbitiden me; but Y preiede. |
| 5 | 108:5 And thei settiden ayens me yuelis for goodis; and hatrede for my loue. |
| 6 | 108:6 Ordeyne thou a synner on him; and the deuel stonde on his riyt half. |
| 7 | 108:7 Whanne he is demed, go he out condempned; and his preier `be maad in to synne. |
| 8 | 108:8 Hise daies be maad fewe; and another take his bischopriche. |
| 9 | 108:9 Hise sones be maad faderles; and his wijf a widewe. |
| 10 | 108:10 Hise sones tremblinge be born ouer, and begge; and be cast out of her habitaciouns. |
| 11 | 108:11 An vsurere seke al his catel; and aliens rauysche hise trauelis. |
| 12 | 108:12 Noon helpere be to him; nether ony be that haue mercy on hise modirles children. |
| 13 | 108:13 Hise sones be maad in to perisching; the name of him be don awei in oon generacioun. |
| 14 | 108:14 The wickidnesse of hise fadris come ayen in to mynde in the siyt of the Lord; and the synne of his modir be not don awei. |
| 15 | 108:15 Be thei maad euere ayens the Lord; and the mynde of hem perische fro erthe. |
| 16 | 108:16 For that thing that he thouyte not to do merci, |
| 17 | 108:17 and he pursuede a pore man and beggere; and to slee a man compunct in herte. |
| 18 | 108:18 And he louede cursing, and it schal come to hym; and he nolde blessing, and it schal be maad fer fro him. And he clothide cursing as a cloth, and it entride as water in to hise ynnere thingis; and as oile in hise boonus. |
| 19 | 108:19 Be it maad to him as a cloth, with which he is hilyd; and as a girdil, with which he is euere gird. |
| 20 | 108:20 This is the werk of hem that bacbiten me anentis the Lord; and that speke yuels ayens my lijf. |
| 21 | 108:21 And thou, Lord, Lord, do with me for thi name; for thi merci is swete. |
| 22 | 108:22 Delyuere thou me, for Y am nedi and pore; and myn herte is disturblid with ynne me. |
| 23 | 108:23 I am takun awei as a schadowe, whanne it bowith awei; and Y am schakun awei as locustis. |
| 24 | 108:24 Mi knees ben maad feble of fasting; and my fleische was chaungid for oile. |
| 25 | 108:25 And Y am maad schenschipe to hem; thei sien me, and moueden her heedis. |
| 26 | 108:26 Mi Lord God, helpe thou me; make thou me saaf bi thi merci. |
| 27 | 108:27 And thei schulen wite, that this is thin hond; and thou, Lord, hast do it. |
| 28 | 108:28 Thei schulen curse, and thou schalt blesse, thei that risen ayens me, be schent; but thi seruaunt schal be glad. |
| 29 | 108:29 Thei that bacbiten me, be clothid with schame; and be thei hilid with her schenschipe as with a double cloth. |
| 30 | 108:30 I schal knouleche to the Lord greetli with my mouth; and Y schal herie hym in the myddil of many men. |
| 31 | 108:31 Which stood nyy on the riyt half of a pore man; to make saaf my soule fro pursueris. |
