| 1 | 36:1 The title of the sixe and thrittithe salm. To Dauith. Nile thou sue wickid men; nether loue thou men doynge wickidnesse. |
| 2 | 36:2 For thei schulen wexe drie swiftli as hey; and thei schulen falle doun soone as the wortis of eerbis. |
| 3 | 36:3 Hope thou in the Lord, and do thou goodnesse; and enhabite thou the lond, and thou schalt be fed with hise richessis. |
| 4 | 36:4 Delite thou in the Lord; and he schal yyue to thee the axyngis of thin herte. |
| 5 | 36:5 Schewe thi weie to the Lord; and hope thou in hym, and he schal do. |
| 6 | 36:6 And he schal lede out thi riytfulnesse as liyt, and thi doom as myddai; |
| 7 | 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. |
| 8 | 36:8 Ceese thou of ire, and forsake woodnesse; nyle thou sue, that thou do wickidli. |
| 9 | 36:9 For thei, that doen wickidli, schulen be distried; but thei that suffren the Lord, schulen enerite the lond. |
| 10 | 36:10 And yit a litil, and a synnere schal not be; and thou schalt seke his place, and schalt not fynde. |
| 11 | 36:11 But mylde men schulen enerite the lond; and schulen delite in the multitude of pees. |
| 12 | 36:12 A synnere schal aspie a riytful man; and he schal gnaste with hise teeth on hym. |
| 13 | 36:13 But the Lord schal scorne the synnere; for he biholdith that his day cometh. |
| 14 | 36:14 Synners drowen out swerd; thei benten her bouwe. To disseyue a pore man and nedi; to strangle riytful men of herte. |
| 15 | 36:15 Her swerd entre in to the herte of hem silf; and her bouwe be brokun. |
| 16 | 36:16 Betere is a litil thing to a iust man; than many richessis of synneris. |
| 17 | 36:17 For the armes of synneris schal be al to-brokun; but the Lord confermeth iust men. |
| 18 | 36:18 The Lord knowith the daies of vnwemmed; and her heritage schal be withouten ende. |
| 19 | 36:19 Thei schulen not be schent in the yuel tyme, and thei schulen be fillid in the dayes of hungur; |
| 20 | 36:20 for synneris schulen perische. Forsothe anoon as the enemyes of the Lord ben onourid, and enhaunsid; thei failynge schulen faile as smoke. |
| 21 | 36:21 A synnere schal borewe, and schal not paie; but a iust man hath merci, and schal yyue. |
| 22 | 36:22 For thei that blessen the Lord schulen enerite the lond; but thei that cursen hym schulen perische. |
| 23 | 36:23 The goyng of a man schal be dressid anentis the Lord; and he schal wilne his weie. |
| 24 | 36:24 Whanne he fallith, he schal not be hurtlid doun; for the Lord vndursettith his hond. |
| 25 | 36:25 I was yongere, and sotheli Y wexide eld, and Y siy not a iust man forsakun; nethir his seed sekynge breed. |
| 26 | 36:26 Al dai he hath merci, and leeneth; and his seed schal be in blessyng. |
| 27 | 36:27 Bouwe thou awei fro yuel, and do good; and dwelle thou in to the world of world. |
| 28 | 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. |
| 29 | 36:29 But iust men schulen enerite the lond; and schulen enabite theronne in to the world of world. |
| 30 | 36:30 The mouth of a iust man schal bithenke wisdom; and his tunge schal speke doom. |
| 31 | 36:31 The lawe of his God is in his herte; and hise steppis schulen not be disseyued. |
| 32 | 36:32 A synnere biholdith a iust man; and sekith to sle hym. |
| 33 | 36:33 But the Lord schal not forsake hym in hise hondis; nethir schal dampne hym, whanne it schal be demed ayens hym. |
| 34 | 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. |
| 35 | 36:35 I siy a wickid man enhaunsid aboue; and reisid vp as the cedris of Liban. |
| 36 | 36:36 And Y passide, and lo! he was not; Y souyte hym, and his place is not foundun. |
| 37 | 36:37 Kepe thou innocence, and se equite; for tho ben relikis to a pesible man. |
| 38 | 36:38 Forsothe vniust men schulen perische; the relifs of wickid men schulen perische togidere. |
| 39 | 36:39 But the helthe of iust men is of the Lord; and he is her defendere in the tyme of tribulacioun. |
| 40 | 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. |
