Wycliffe - Psalms - 9

9:1  The title of the nynthe salm. In to the ende, for the pryuytees of the sone, the salm of Dauid.

9:2  Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; Y schal telle alle thi merueils.

9:3  Thou hiyeste, Y schal be glad, and Y schal be fulli ioieful in thee; Y schal synge to thi name.

9:4  For thou turnest myn enemy abac; thei schulen be maad feble, and schulen perische fro thi face.

9:5  For thou hast maad my doom and my cause; thou, that demest riytfulnesse, `hast set on the trone.

9:6  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.

9:7  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;

9:8  and the Lord dwellith with outen ende. He made redi his trone in doom; and he schal deme the world in equite,

9:9  he schal deme puplis in riytfulnesse.

9:10  And the Lord is maad refuyt, `ether help, `to a pore man; an helpere in couenable tymes in tribulacioun.

9:11  And thei, that knowen thi name, haue hope in thee; for thou, Lord, hast not forsake hem that seken thee.

9:12  Synge ye to the Lord, that dwellith in Syon; telle ye hise studyes among hethene men.

9:13  God foryetith not the cry of pore men; for he hath mynde, and sekith the blood of hem.

9:14  Lord, haue thou merci on me; se thou my mekenesse of myn enemyes.

9:15  Which enhaunsist me fro the yatis of deeth; that Y telle alle thi preisyngis in the yatis of the douyter of Syon.

9:16  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.

9:17  The Lord makynge domes schal be knowun; the synnere is takun in the werkis of hise hondis.

9:18  Synneris be turned togidere in to helle; alle folkis, that foryeten God.

9:19  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.

9:20  Lord, rise thou vp, a man be not coumfortid; folkis be demyd in thi siyt.

9:21  Lord, ordeine thou a lawe makere on hem; wite folkis, that thei ben men.

9:22  Lord, whi hast thou go fer awei? thou dispisist `in couenable tymes in tribulacioun.

9:23  While the wickid is proud, the pore man is brent; thei ben taken in the counsels, bi whiche thei thenken.

9:24  Forwhi the synnere is preisid in the desiris of his soule; and the wickid is blessid.

9:25  The synnere `wraththide the Lord; vp the multitude of his ire he schal not seke.

9:26  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.

9:27  For he seide in his herte, Y schal not be moued, fro generacioun in to generacioun without yuel.

9:28  `Whos mouth is ful of cursyng, and of bitternesse, and of gyle; trauel and sorewe is vndur his tunge.

9:29  He sittith in aspies with ryche men in priuytees; to sle the innocent man.

9:30  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.

9:31  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.

9:32  For he seide in his herte, God hath foryete; he hath turned awei his face, that he se not in to the ende.

9:33  Lord God, rise thou vp, and thin hond be enhaunsid; foryete thou not pore men.

9:34  For what thing terride the wickid man God to wraththe? for he seide in his herte, God schal not seke.

9:35  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.

9:36  Al to-breke thou the arme of the synnere, and yuel willid; his synne schal be souyt, and it schal not be foundun.

9:37  The Lord schal regne with outen ende, and in to the world of world; folkis, ye schulen perische fro the lond of hym.

9:38  The Lord hath herd the desir of pore men; thin eere hath herd the makyng redi of her herte.

9:39  To deme for the modirles `and meke; that a man `leie to no more to `magnyfie hym silf on erthe.
