¹ Therfor alle the sones of Israel yeden, and weren gaderid togidere as o man, fro Dan `til to Bersabee, and fro the lond of Galaad to the Lord in Maspha; and alle the `corneris of puplis;

²⁴ And men of Israel weren felouschipid to hem silf in that dai; forsothe Saul swoor to the puple, and seide, Cursid be the man, that etith breed `til to euentid, til `Y venge me of myn enemyes.

⁹ Therfor Saul bihelde Dauid not with `riytful iyen, `fro that dai and afterward.

³ And eft he swoor to Dauid. And Dauid seide, Treuli thi fadir woot, that Y haue founde grace `in thin iyen, and he schal seie, Jonathas wite not this, lest perauenture he be sory; certis the Lord lyueth, `and thi soule lyueth, for, that Y seie so, Y and deeth ben departid oneli bi o degree.

¹⁶ Therfor Jonathas made boond of pees with the hows of Dauid, and the Lord souyte of the hond of enemyes of Dauid. ¹⁷ And Jonathas addide to swere stedfastli to Dauid, for he louyde Dauid; for he louyde so Dauid, as his owne soule.

¹⁵ And Dauid seide to hym, Maist thou lede me to this cumpeny? Which seide, Swere thou to me bi God, that thou schalt not sle me, and schalt not bitake me in to the hondis of my lord; and Y schal lede thee to this cumpeny. And Dauid swoor to hym.

¹ Therfor Salomon, the sone of Dauid, was coumfortid in his rewme, and the Lord was with hym, and magnefiede hym an hiy.

⁶ Forsothe in the rewme of Assueris, he is Artaxersis, in the bigynnyng of his rewme, thei writiden accusing ayens the dwellers of Juda and of Jerusalem;

² Wrathfulnesse sleeth `a fonned man, and enuye sleeth a litil child.

¹² Forsothe the Lord blesside the laste thingis of Joob, more than the bigynnyng of hym; and fouretene thousynde of scheep weren maad to hym, and sixe thousinde of camels, and a thousynde yockis of oxis, and a thousynde femal assis.

¹ The title of the fourthe salm. `To the victorie in orguns; the salm of Dauid.

⁴ That my mouth speke not the werkis of men; for the wordis of thi lippis Y haue kept harde weies.

¹ The title of the seuen and twentithe salm. To Dauid. Lord, Y schal crye to thee; my God, be thou not stille fro me, be thou not stille `ony tyme fro me; and Y schal be maad lijk to hem, that goen doun in to the lake. ² Lord, here thou the vois of my bisechyng, while Y preie to thee; whyle Y reise myn hondis to thin hooli temple. ³ Bitake thou not me togidere with synneris; and leese thou not me with hem that worchen wickidnesse. Whyche speken pees with her neiybore; but yuels ben in her hertis.

⁸ Al erthe drede the Lord; sotheli alle men enhabitynge the world ben mouyd of hym.

¹ The title of the seuene and thrittithe salm. `The salm of Dauid, to bythenke on the sabat. ² Lord, repreue thou not me in thi strong veniaunce; nether chastice thou me in thin ire. ³ For thin arowis ben fitchid in me; and thou hast confermed thin hond on me.

³ For thin arowis ben fitchid in me; and thou hast confermed thin hond on me. ⁴ Noon helthe is in my fleisch fro the face of thin ire; no pees is to my boonys fro the face of my synnes. ⁵ For my wickidnessis ben goon ouer myn heed; as an heuy birthun, tho ben maad heuy on me. ⁶ Myn heelid woundis weren rotun, and ben brokun; fro the face of myn vnwisdom.

¹² But thou, Lord, make not fer thi merciful doyngis fro me; thi mercy and treuthe euere token me vp.

¹ The title of the sixte and fourtithe salm. To victorie, a salm to the sones of Chore. ² Alle ye folkis, make ioie with hondis; synge ye hertli to God in the vois of ful out ioiyng.

⁶ which is the fadir of fadirles and modirles children; and the iuge of widewis.

¹⁶ I gesside, that Y schulde knowe this; trauel is bifore me. ¹⁷ Til Y entre in to the seyntuarie of God; and vndurstonde in the last thingis of hem.

⁹ And he departide the reed see, and it was dried; and he lede forth hem in the depthis of watris as in deseert.

¹⁵ And he yaf to hem the axyng of hem; and he sente fulnesse in to the soulis of hem.

¹ The `title of the hundrid and twelfthe salm. Alleluya. Children, preise ye the Lord; preise ye the name of the Lord. ² The name of the Lord be blessid; fro this tyme now and til in to the world. ³ Fro the risyng of the sunne til to the goyng doun; the name of the Lord is worthi to be preisid.

⁵ I wolde that my weies be dressid; to kepe thi iustifiyngis.

¹ The `title of the hundrid and eiyte and twentithe `salm. The song of greces. Israel seie now; Ofte thei fouyten ayens me fro my yongth. ² Ofte thei fouyten ayens me fro my yongthe; and sotheli thei miyten not to me. ³ Synneris forgeden on my bak; thei maden long her wickidnesse. ⁴ The `iust Lord schal beete the nollis of synneris; ⁵ alle that haten Sion be schent, and turned abak. ⁶ Be thei maad as the hey of hous coppis; that driede vp, bifore that it be drawun vp.

¹³ Thi rewme is the rewme of alle worldis; and thi lordschipe is in al generacioun and in to generacioun. The Lord is feithful in alle hise wordis; and hooli in alle hise werkis. ¹⁴ The Lord liftith vp alle that fallen doun; and reisith alle men hurtlid doun.

⁴ if thou sekist it as money, and diggist it out as tresours; ⁵ thanne thou schalt vndirstonde the drede of the Lord, and schalt fynde the kunnyng of God.

¹⁸ Thi veyne be blessid; and be thou glad with the womman of thi yong wexynge age. ¹⁹ An hynde moost dereworthe; and an hert calf moost acceptable. Hir teetis fille thee in al tyme; and delite thou contynueli in the loue of hir.

²⁹ So he that entrith to the wijf of his neiybore; schal not be cleene, whanne he hath touchid hir.

⁶ For whi fro the wyndow of myn hous bi the latijs Y bihelde; and Y se litle children.

⁴ A slow hond hath wrouyt nedynesse; but the hond of stronge men makith redi richessis. Forsothe he that enforsith to gete `ony thing bi leesyngis, fedith the wyndis; sotheli the same man sueth briddis fleynge.

²² The blessing of the Lord makith riche men; and turment schal not be felowschipid to hem.

⁴ A slow man wole, and wole not; but the soule of hem that worchen schal be maad fat.

⁴ Ire hath no merci, and woodnesse brekynge out `hath no merci; and who mai suffre the fersnesse of a spirit stirid?

²⁵ He that dredith a man, schal falle soon; he that hopith in the Lord, shal be reisid.

⁴ Eft Y bihelde alle the trauelis of men, and bisynesses; and Y perseyuede that tho ben opyn to the enuye of neiybore; and therfor in this is vanyte, and superflu bisynesse.

⁴ and it is myche betere to make not a vowe, than aftir a vowe to yelde not biheestis.

⁹ Vse thou lijf with the wijf which thou louest, in alle the daies of lijf of thin vnstablenesse, that ben youun to thee vndur sunne, in al the tyme of thi vanyte; for this is thi part in thi lijf and trauel, bi which thou trauelist vndur the sunne.

⁶ Eerli sowe thi seed, and thin hond ceesse not in the euentid; for thou woost not, what schal come forth more, this ethir that; and if euer eithir cometh forth togidere, it schal be the betere.

⁹ My derlyng is lijk a capret, and a calf of hertis; lo! he stondith bihynde oure wal, and biholdith bi the wyndows, and lokith thorouy the latisis.

¹⁵ A welle of gardyns, a pit of wallynge watris, that flowen with fersnesse fro the Liban.

² Lo! God is my sauyour, Y schal do feithfuli, and Y schal not drede. For whi the Lord is my strengthe and my preysyng, and he is maad to me in to helthe.

¹⁰ Drede thou not, for Y am with thee; boowe thou not awei, for Y am thi God. Y coumfortide thee, and helpide thee; and the riythond of my iust man vp took thee.

¹³ For Y am thi Lord God, takynge thin hond, and seiynge to thee, Drede thou not, Y helpide thee. ¹⁴ Nyle thou, worm of Jacob, drede, ye that ben deed of Israel. Y helpide thee, seith the Lord, and thin ayen biere, the hooli of Israel. ¹⁵ Y haue set thee as a newe wayn threischynge, hauynge sawynge bilis; thou schalt threische mounteyns, and schalt make smal, and thou schalt sette litle hillis as dust.

¹ And now the Lord God, makynge of nouyt thee, Jacob, and formynge thee, Israel, seith these thingis, Nyle thou drede, for Y ayenbouyte thee, and Y clepide thee bi thi name; thou art my seruaunt. ² Whanne thou schalt go bi watris, Y schal be with thee, and floodis schulen not hile thee; whanne thou schalt go in fier, thou schalt not be brent, and flawme schal not brenne in thee.

² Whanne thou schalt go bi watris, Y schal be with thee, and floodis schulen not hile thee; whanne thou schalt go in fier, thou schalt not be brent, and flawme schal not brenne in thee.

⁵ Nyle thou drede, for Y am with thee; Y schal brynge thi seed fro the eest, and Y schal gadere thee togidere fro the west.

² The Lord makynge and foryyuynge thee, thin helpere fro the wombe, seith these thingis, My seruaunt, Jacob, nyle thou drede, and thou moost riytful, whom Y chees.

¹⁴ The Lord God seith these thingis, The trauel of Egipt, and the marchaundie of Ethiopie, and of Sabaym; hiy men schulen go to thee, and schulen be thine; thei schulen go aftir thee, thei schulen go boundun in manyclis, and schulen worschipe thee, and schulen biseche thee. God is oneli in thee, and with out thee is no God.

⁷ Ye puple, that knowen the iust man, here me, my lawe is in the herte of hem; nyle ye drede the schenschipe of men, and drede ye not the blasfemyes of hem.

¹² `Y my silf schal coumforte you; what art thou, that thou drede of a deedli man, and of the sone of man, that schal wexe drie so as hei?

¹⁴ And the sones of hem that maden thee lowe, schulen come lowe to thee, and alle that bacbitiden thee, schulen worschipe the steppis of thi feet; and schulen clepe thee A citee of the Lord of Sion, of the hooli of Israel.

⁶ But ye schulen be clepid the preestis of the Lord; it schal be seid to you, Ye ben mynystris of oure God. Ye schulen ete the strengthe of hethene men, and ye schulen be onourid in the glorie of hem.

⁹ And the seed of hem schal be knowun among folkis, and the buriownyng of hem in the myddis of puplis. Alle men that seen hem, schulen knowe hem, for these ben the seed, whom the Lord blesside.

⁵ For a yong man schal dwelle with a virgyn, and thi sones schulen dwelle in thee; and the spouse schal haue ioie on the spousesse, and thi God schal haue ioie on thee.

¹⁷ and Y schal take awei the names of Baalym fro hir mouth, and sche schal no more haue mynde of the name of tho.

²⁰ Thou schalt yyue treuthe to Jacob, merci to Abraham, whiche thou sworist to oure fadris fro elde daies.

⁸ For the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, After glorie he sente me to hethene men, whiche robbiden you; for he that schal touche you, schal touche the apple of myn iye.

¹² but seed of pees schal be; vyneyerd schal yyue his fruyt, and erthe schal yyue his buriownyng, and heuenes schulen yyue her dew; and Y schal make the relifs of this puple for to welde alle these thingis.

² And it schal be, in that dai, seith the Lord of oostis, Y schal distrie names of idols fro `the lond, and thei schulen no more be `thouyt on; and Y schal take awei fro erthe false profetis, and an vnclene spirit.

¹⁹ Therfor he that brekith oon of these leeste maundementis, and techith thus men, schal be clepid the leste in the rewme of heuenes; `but he that doith, and techith, schal be clepid greet in the kyngdom of heuenes.

⁷ Axe ye, and it schal be youun to you; seke ye, and ye schulen fynde; knocke ye, and it schal be openyd to you.

²⁴ Therfor ech man that herith these my wordis, and doith hem, schal be maad lijk to a wise man, that hath bildid his hous on a stoon.

²⁸ And nyle ye drede hem that sleen the bodi; for thei moun not sle the soule; but rather drede ye hym, that mai lese bothe soule and bodi in to helle.

⁸ But othere seedis felden in to good lond, and yauen fruyt; summe an hundrid foold, an othir sixti foold, an othir thritti foold.

²³ But he that is sowun in to good loond, is this that herith the word, and vnderstondeth, and bryngith forth fruyt. And summe makith an hundrid fold, treuli anothir sixti fold, and another thritti fold.

³² Y am God of Abraham, and God of Ysaac, and God of Jacob? he is not God of deede men, but of lyuynge men.

⁸ And other felde doun in to good loond, and yaf fruyt, springynge vp, and wexynge; and oon brouyte thretti foold, and oon sixti fold, and oon an hundrid fold.

³² Nile ye, litil flok, drede, for it pleside to youre fadir to yyue you a kyngdom.

¹⁰ Jhesus answerde, and seide to hir, If thou wistist the yifte of God, and who `he is, that seith to thee, Yyue me drynk, thou perauenture woldist haue axid of hym, and he schulde haue youun to thee quyk watir. ¹¹ The womman seith to him, Sire, thou hast not where ynne to drawe, and the pit is deep; wherof thanne hast thou quik watir?

³⁸ He that bileueth in me, as the scripture seith, Floodis of quyk watir schulen flowe fro his wombe.

²⁵ But ye ben the sones of prophetis, and of the testament, that God ordeynede to oure fadris, and seide to Abraham, In thi seed alle the meynes of erthe schulen be blessid.

⁹ And the patriarkis hadden enuye to Joseph, and selden hym in to Egipt.

¹⁴ And Joseph sente, and clepide Jacob, his fadir, and al his kynrede, seuenti and fyue men.

²⁷ But he that dide the wronge to his neiybore, puttide hym awey, and seide, Who ordeynede thee prince and domesman on vs?

³² and seide, Y am God of youre fadris, God of Abraham, God of Ysaac, God of Jacob. Moises was maad tremblynge, and durste not biholde.

³⁵ This Moises whom thei denyeden, seiynge, Who ordeynede thee prince and domesman on vs? God sente this prince and ayenbiere, with the hoond of the aungel, that apperide to hym in the busch.

³¹ What thanne schulen we seie to these thingis? If God for vs, who is ayens vs?

¹⁸ If it may be don, that that is of you, haue ye pees with alle men.

⁶ Y plauntide, Apollo moystide, but God yaf encreessyng.

² But for fornycacioun eche man haue his owne wijf, and ech womman haue hir owne hosebonde.

²⁵ For the hid thingis of his herte ben knowun, and so he schal falle doun on the face, and schal worschipe God, and schewe verili that God is in you.

⁵⁸ Therfore, my dereworthe britheren, be ye stidefast, and vnmouable, beynge plenteuouse in werk of the Lord, euere more witynge that youre trauel is not idel in the Lord.

¹⁰ And he that mynystrith seed to the sowere, schal yyue also breed to ete, and he schal multiplie youre seed, and make myche the encreessingis of fruytis of youre riytwisnesse; ¹¹ that in alle thingis ye maad riche waxen plenteuouse in to al symplenesse, which worchith bi vs doing of thankingis to God.

⁸ And the scripture seynge afer, that God iustifieth the hethene, of bileue told tofor to Abraham, That in thee alle the hethene schulen be blessid.

¹⁶ The biheestis weren seid to Abraham and to his seed; he seith not, In seedis, as in many, but as in oon, And to thi seed, that is, Crist.

⁶ For in Jhesu Crist nether circumcisioun is ony thing worth, nether prepucie, but the bileue that worchith bi charite.

⁷ Nyle ye erre, God is not scorned; ⁸ for tho thingis that a man sowith, tho thingis he schal repe. For he that sowith in his fleisch, of the fleisch he schal repe corrupcioun; but he that sowith in the spirit, of the spirit he schal repe euerelastynge lijf.

²⁵ Men, loue ye youre wyues, as Crist louyde the chirche, and yaf hym silf for it, to make it holi;

⁹ that also ye han lerud, and take, and heed, and seyn in me. Do ye these thingis, and God of pees schal be with you.

⁹ Nyle ye lie togidere; spuyle ye you fro the elde man with his dedes, and clothe ye the newe man,

¹⁶ For men sweren bi a grettere than hem silf, and the ende of al her ple is an ooth to confirmacioun. ¹⁷ In which thing God willynge to schewe plenteuouslier to the eiris of his biheest the sadnesse of his counsel,

² And in this feith elde men han gete witnessyng.

⁸ By feith he that is clepid Abraham, obeiede to go out in to a place, whiche he schulde take in to eritage; and he wente out, not witinge whidur he schulde go. ⁹ Bi feith he dwelte in the loond of biheest, as in an alien loond, dwellynge in litle housis with Ysaac and Jacob, euene heiris of the same biheest.

¹³ Bi feith alle these ben deed, whanne the biheestis weren not takun, but thei bihelden hem afer, and gretynge hem wel, and knoulechide that thei weren pilgryms, and herboryd men on the erthe. ¹⁴ And thei that sayn these thingis, signifien that thei sechen a cuntre. ¹⁵ `If thei hadden hadde mynde of the ilke, of which thei wenten out, thei hadden tyme of turnyng ayen; ¹⁶ but now thei desiren a betere, that is to seie, heuenli. Therfor God is not confoundid to be clepid the God of hem; for he made redi to hem a citee.

¹⁴ Sue ye pees with alle men, and holynesse, with out which no man schal se God.

¹⁶ that no man be letchour, ether vnhooli, as Esau, which for o mete seelde hise firste thingis.

⁵ Be youre maneres withoute coueitise, apaied with present thingis; for he seide, Y schal not leeue thee, ⁶ nether forsake, so that we seie tristily, The Lord is an helpere to me; Y schal not drede, what a man schal do to me.

²¹ Whether Abraham, oure fadir, was not iustified of werkis, offringe Ysaac, his sone, on the auter?

⁹ Holde ye hospitalite togidere with out grutching;

¹⁷ And whanne Y hadde seyn hym, Y felde doun at hise feet, as deed. And he puttide his riyt hond on me, and seide, Nyle thou drede; Y am the firste and the laste; and Y am alyue, and Y was deed;

⁹ Lo! Y schal yyue to thee of the synagoge of Sathanas, whiche seien that thei ben Jewis, and ben not, but lyen. Lo! Y schal make hem, that thei come, and worschipe byfor thi feet; and thei schulen wite,
