Wycliffe - Psalms - 36

36:1  The title of the sixe and thrittithe salm. To Dauith. Nile thou sue wickid men; nether loue thou men doynge wickidnesse.

36:2  For thei schulen wexe drie swiftli as hey; and thei schulen falle doun soone as the wortis of eerbis.

36:3  Hope thou in the Lord, and do thou goodnesse; and enhabite thou the lond, and thou schalt be fed with hise richessis.

36:4  Delite thou in the Lord; and he schal yyue to thee the axyngis of thin herte.

36:5  Schewe thi weie to the Lord; and hope thou in hym, and he schal do.

36:6  And he schal lede out thi riytfulnesse as liyt, and thi doom as myddai;

36:7  be thou suget to the Lord, and preye thou hym. Nile thou sue hym, that hath prosperite in his weie; a man doynge vnriytfulnessis.

36:8  Ceese thou of ire, and forsake woodnesse; nyle thou sue, that thou do wickidli.

36:9  For thei, that doen wickidli, schulen be distried; but thei that suffren the Lord, schulen enerite the lond.

36:10  And yit a litil, and a synnere schal not be; and thou schalt seke his place, and schalt not fynde.

36:11  But mylde men schulen enerite the lond; and schulen delite in the multitude of pees.

36:12  A synnere schal aspie a riytful man; and he schal gnaste with hise teeth on hym.

36:13  But the Lord schal scorne the synnere; for he biholdith that his day cometh.

36:14  Synners drowen out swerd; thei benten her bouwe. To disseyue a pore man and nedi; to strangle riytful men of herte.

36:15  Her swerd entre in to the herte of hem silf; and her bouwe be brokun.

36:16  Betere is a litil thing to a iust man; than many richessis of synneris.

36:17  For the armes of synneris schal be al to-brokun; but the Lord confermeth iust men.

36:18  The Lord knowith the daies of vnwemmed; and her heritage schal be withouten ende.

36:19  Thei schulen not be schent in the yuel tyme, and thei schulen be fillid in the dayes of hungur;

36:20  for synneris schulen perische. Forsothe anoon as the enemyes of the Lord ben onourid, and enhaunsid; thei failynge schulen faile as smoke.

36:21  A synnere schal borewe, and schal not paie; but a iust man hath merci, and schal yyue.

36:22  For thei that blessen the Lord schulen enerite the lond; but thei that cursen hym schulen perische.

36:23  The goyng of a man schal be dressid anentis the Lord; and he schal wilne his weie.

36:24  Whanne he fallith, he schal not be hurtlid doun; for the Lord vndursettith his hond.

36:25  I was yongere, and sotheli Y wexide eld, and Y siy not a iust man forsakun; nethir his seed sekynge breed.

36:26  Al dai he hath merci, and leeneth; and his seed schal be in blessyng.

36:27  Bouwe thou awei fro yuel, and do good; and dwelle thou in to the world of world.

36:28  For the Lord loueth doom, and schal not forsake hise seyntis; thei schulen be kept with outen ende. Vniust men schulen be punyschid; and the seed of wickid men schal perische.

36:29  But iust men schulen enerite the lond; and schulen enabite theronne in to the world of world.

36:30  The mouth of a iust man schal bithenke wisdom; and his tunge schal speke doom.

36:31  The lawe of his God is in his herte; and hise steppis schulen not be disseyued.

36:32  A synnere biholdith a iust man; and sekith to sle hym.

36:33  But the Lord schal not forsake hym in hise hondis; nethir schal dampne hym, whanne it schal be demed ayens hym.

36:34  Abide thou the Lord, and kepe thou his weie, and he schal enhaunse thee, that bi eritage thou take the lond; whanne synneris schulen perische, thou schalt se.

36:35  I siy a wickid man enhaunsid aboue; and reisid vp as the cedris of Liban.

36:36  And Y passide, and lo! he was not; Y souyte hym, and his place is not foundun.

36:37  Kepe thou innocence, and se equite; for tho ben relikis to a pesible man.

36:38  Forsothe vniust men schulen perische; the relifs of wickid men schulen perische togidere.

36:39  But the helthe of iust men is of the Lord; and he is her defendere in the tyme of tribulacioun.

36:40  And the Lord schal helpe hem, and schal make hem fre, and he schal delyuere hem fro synneris; and he schal saue hem, for thei hopiden in hym.
