Wycliffe - Psalms - 21

21:1  The `title of the oon and twentithe salm. To ouercome, for `the morewtid hynd; the salm of Dauid.

21:2  God, my God, biholde thou on me, whi hast thou forsake me? the wordis of my trespassis ben fer fro myn helthe.

21:3  Mi God, Y schal crye bi dai, and thou schalt not here; and bi nyyt, and not to vnwisdom to me.

21:4  Forsothe thou, the preisyng of Israel, dwellist in holynesse;

21:5  oure fadris hopiden in thee, thei hopiden, and thou delyueridist hem.

21:6  Thei crieden to thee, and thei weren maad saaf; thei hopiden in thee, and thei weren not schent.

21:7  But Y am a worm, and not man; the schenschip of men, and the outcastyng of the puple.

21:8  Alle men seynge me scorneden me; thei spaken with lippis, and stiriden the heed.

21:9  He hopide in the Lord, delyuere he hym; make he hym saaf, for he wole hym.

21:10  For thou it art that drowist me out of the wombe, thou art myn hope fro the tetis of my modir;

21:11  in to thee Y am cast forth fro the wombe. Fro the wombe of my modir thou art my God; departe thou not fro me.

21:12  For tribulacioun is next; for noon is that helpith.

21:13  Many calues cumpassiden me; fatte bolis bisegiden me.

21:14  Thei openyden her mouth on me; as doith a lioun rauyschynge and rorynge.

21:15  I am sched out as watir; and alle my boonys ben scaterid. Myn herte is maad, as wex fletynge abrood; in the myddis of my wombe.

21:16  Mi vertu driede as a tiyl stoon, and my tunge cleuede to my chekis; and thou hast brouyt forth me in to the dust of deth.

21:17  For many doggis cumpassiden me; the counsel of wickid men bisegide me. Thei delueden myn hondis and my feet;

21:18  thei noumbriden alle my boonys. Sotheli thei lokiden, and bihelden me;

21:19  thei departiden my clothis to hem silf, and thei senten lot on my cloth.

21:20  But thou, Lord, delaie not thin help fro me; biholde thou to my defence.

21:21  God, delyuere thou my lijf fro swerd; and delyuere thou myn oon aloone fro the hond of the dogge.

21:22  Make thou me saaf fro the mouth of a lioun; and my mekenesse fro the hornes of vnycornes.

21:23  I schal telle thi name to my britheren; Y schal preise thee in the myddis of the chirche.

21:24  Ye that dreden the Lord, herie hym; alle the seed of Jacob, glorifie ye hym.

21:25  Al the seed of Israel drede hym; for he forsook not, nethir dispiside the preier of a pore man. Nethir he turnede awei his face fro me; and whanne Y criede to hym, he herde me.

21:26  Mi preisyng is at thee in a greet chirche; Y schal yelde my vowis in the siyt of men dredynge hym.

21:27  Pore men schulen ete, and schulen be fillid, and thei schulen herie the Lord, that seken hym; the hertis of hem schulen lyue in to the world of world.

21:28  Alle the endis of erthe schulen bithenke; and schulen be conuertid to the Lord. And alle the meynees of hethene men; schulen worschipe in his siyt.

21:29  For the rewme is the Lordis; and he schal be Lord of hethene men.

21:30  Alle the fatte men of erthe eeten and worschipiden; alle men, that goen doun in to erthe, schulen falle doun in his siyt.

21:31  And my soule schal lyue to hym; and my seed schal serue him.

21:32  A generacioun to comyng schal be teld to the Lord; and heuenes schulen telle his riytfulnesse to the puple that schal be borun, whom the Lord made.
