WYC PSA Chapter 108

108 The title of the hundrid and eiytthe salm. To victorye, the salm of Dauid. 2 God, holde thou not stille my preisyng; for the mouth of the synner, and the mouth of the gileful man is openyd on me. 3 Thei spaken ayens me with a gileful tunge, and thei cumpassiden me with wordis of hatrede; and fouyten ayens me with out cause. 4 For that thing that thei schulden loue me, thei bacbitiden me; but Y preiede. 5 And thei settiden ayens me yuelis for goodis; and hatrede for my loue. 6 Ordeyne thou a synner on him; and the deuel stonde on his riyt half. 7 Whanne he is demed, go he out condempned; and his preier `be maad in to synne. 8 Hise daies be maad fewe; and another take his bischopriche. 9 Hise sones be maad faderles; and his wijf a widewe. 10 Hise sones tremblinge be born ouer, and begge; and be cast out of her habitaciouns. 11 An vsurere seke al his catel; and aliens rauysche hise trauelis. 12 Noon helpere be to him; nether ony be that haue mercy on hise modirles children. 13 Hise sones be maad in to perisching; the name of him be don awei in oon generacioun. 14 The wickidnesse of hise fadris come ayen in to mynde in the siyt of the Lord; and the synne of his modir be not don awei. 15 Be thei maad euere ayens the Lord; and the mynde of hem perische fro erthe. 16 For that thing that he thouyte not to do merci, 17 and he pursuede a pore man and beggere; and to slee a man compunct in herte. 18 And he louede cursing, and it schal come to hym; and he nolde blessing, and it schal be maad fer fro him. And he clothide cursing as a cloth, and it entride as water in to hise ynnere thingis; and as oile in hise boonus. 19 Be it maad to him as a cloth, with which he is hilyd; and as a girdil, with which he is euere gird. 20 This is the werk of hem that bacbiten me anentis the Lord; and that speke yuels ayens my lijf. 21 And thou, Lord, Lord, do with me for thi name; for thi merci is swete. 22 Delyuere thou me, for Y am nedi and pore; and myn herte is disturblid with ynne me. 23 I am takun awei as a schadowe, whanne it bowith awei; and Y am schakun awei as locustis. 24 Mi knees ben maad feble of fasting; and my fleische was chaungid for oile. 25 And Y am maad schenschipe to hem; thei sien me, and moueden her heedis. 26 Mi Lord God, helpe thou me; make thou me saaf bi thi merci. 27 And thei schulen wite, that this is thin hond; and thou, Lord, hast do it. 28 Thei schulen curse, and thou schalt blesse, thei that risen ayens me, be schent; but thi seruaunt schal be glad. 29 Thei that bacbiten me, be clothid with schame; and be thei hilid with her schenschipe as with a double cloth. 30 I schal knouleche to the Lord greetli with my mouth; and Y schal herie hym in the myddil of many men. 31 Which stood nyy on the riyt half of a pore man; to make saaf my soule fro pursueris.
