| 1 | 72:1 The `title of the two and seuentithe salm. `The salm of Asaph. God of Israel is ful good; to hem that ben of riytful herte. |
| 2 | 72:2 But my feet weren moued almeest; my steppis weren sched out almeest. |
| 3 | 72:3 For Y louede feruentli on wickid men; seynge the pees of synneris. |
| 4 | 72:4 For biholdyng is not to the deth of hem; and stidefastnesse in the sikenesse of hem. |
| 5 | 72:5 Thei ben not in the trauel of men; and thei schulen not be betun with men. |
| 6 | 72:6 Therfore pride helde hem; thei weren hilid with her wickidnesse and vnfeithfulnesse. |
| 7 | 72:7 The wickidnesse of hem cam forth as of fatnesse; thei yeden in to desire of herte. |
| 8 | 72:8 Thei thouyten and spaken weiwardnesse; thei spaken wickidnesse an hiy. |
| 9 | 72:9 Thei puttiden her mouth in to heuene; and her tunge passide in erthe. |
| 10 | 72:10 Therfor my puple schal be conuertid here; and fulle daies schulen be foundun in hem. |
| 11 | 72:11 And thei seiden, How woot God; and whether kunnyng is an heiye, `that is, in heuene? |
| 12 | 72:12 Lo! thilke synneris and hauynge aboundance in the world; helden richessis. |
| 13 | 72:13 And Y seide, Therfor without cause Y iustifiede myn herte; and waischide myn hoondis among innocentis. |
| 14 | 72:14 And Y was betun al dai; and my chastisyng was in morutidis. |
| 15 | 72:15 If Y seide, Y schal telle thus; lo! Y repreuede the nacioun of thi sones. |
| 16 | 72:16 I gesside, that Y schulde knowe this; trauel is bifore me. |
| 17 | 72:17 Til Y entre in to the seyntuarie of God; and vndurstonde in the last thingis of hem. |
| 18 | 72:18 Netheles for gilis thou hast put to hem; thou castidist hem doun, while thei weren reisid. |
| 19 | 72:19 Hou ben thei maad into desolacioun; thei failiden sodeynli, thei perischiden for her wickidnesse. |
| 20 | 72:20 As the dreem of men that risen; Lord, thou schalt dryue her ymage to nouyt in thi citee. |
| 21 | 72:21 For myn herte is enflaumed, and my reynes ben chaungid; |
| 22 | 72:22 and Y am dryuun to nouyt, and Y wiste not. |
| 23 | 72:23 As a werk beeste Y am maad at thee; and Y am euere with thee. |
| 24 | 72:24 Thou heldist my riythond, and in thi wille thou leddist me forth; and with glorie thou tokist me vp. |
| 25 | 72:25 For whi what is to me in heuene; and what wolde Y of thee on erthe? |
| 26 | 72:26 Mi fleische and myn herte failide; God of myn herte, and my part is God withouten ende. |
| 27 | 72:27 For lo! thei that drawen awei fer hem silf fro thee, `bi deedli synne, schulen perische; thou hast lost alle men that doen fornycacioun fro thee. |
| 28 | 72:28 But it is good to me to cleue to God; and to sette myn hope in the Lord God. That Y telle alle thi prechyngis; in the yatis of the douyter of Syon. |
