Psalms 23
Psalms chapter 23 from the John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395)
1 Whiche seiden, We schulen magnyfie oure tunge, our lippis ben of vs; who is oure lord? 2 For the wretchednesse of nedy men, and for the weilyng of pore men; now Y schal ryse vp, seith the Lord. I schal sette inhelt he; Y schal do tristili in hym. 3 The spechis of the Lord ben chast spechis; siluer examynyd bi fier, preued fro erthe, purgid seuen fold. 4 Thou, Lord, schalt kepe vs; and thou `schalt kepe vs fro this generacioun with outen ende. 5 Wickid men goen in cumpas; bi thin hiynesse thou hast multiplied the sones of men.
