Psalms 62

1 God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me [from my enemies].

To the victorie on Iditum, the salm of Dauid. Whether my soule schal not be suget to God; for myn heelthe is of hym.

2 Only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he will be [like] a shelter, [with the result that] I will never be defeated [MET].

For whi he is bothe my God, and myn heelthe; my `taker vp, Y schal no more be moued.

3 When will you, [my enemies], stop attacking me [RHQ]? I feel that I am [as useless against you as] a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence [MET].

Hou longe fallen ye on a man? alle ye sleen; as to a wal bowid, and a wal of stoon with out morter cast doun.

4 My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say [MTY], but in their inner beings they curse [those people].

Netheles thei thouyten to putte awei my prijs, Y ran in thirst; with her mouth thei blessiden, and in her herte thei cursiden.

5 God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect [to help me].

Netheles, my soule, be thou suget to God; for my pacience is of hym.

6 Only he is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he is [like] a shelter, and [as a result] I will never be defeated.

For he is my God, and my saueour; myn helpere, Y schal not passe out.

7 God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is [like an overhanging] strong rock under which I [can] find shelter [MET].

Myn helthe, and my glorie is in God; God is the yyuer of myn help, and myn hope is in God.

8 [You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].

Al the gaderyng togidere of the puple, hope ye in God, schede ye out youre hertis bifore hym; God is oure helpere with outen ende.

9 People who are considered to be unimportant are [as worthless/unreliable as] a breath of air; people who are considered to be important [also] really (amount to nothing/cannot be trusted [to help us)]. If you put them all on a scale, [it would be as if] they weighed less than a puff of air.

Netheles the sones of men ben veyne; the sones of men ben liers in balauncis, that thei disseyue of vanytee in to the same thing.

10 Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in [IDM] your money.

Nile ye haue hope in wickidnesse, and nyle ye coueyte raueyns; if ritchessis be plenteuouse, nyle ye sette the herte therto.

11 I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,

God spak onys, Y herde these twei thingis, that power is of God, and, thou Lord, mercy is to thee;

12 and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.

for thou schalt yelde to ech man bi hise werkis.
