Psalms 30
Psalms chapter 30 from the John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395)
1 Thou alargidist my paaces vndur me; and my steppis ben not maad vnstidefast.
2 Y schal pursue myn enemyes, and Y schal take hem; and Y schal not turne til thei failen.
3 I schal al to-breke hem, and thei schulen not mowe stonde; thei schulen falle vndur my feet.
4 And thou hast gird me with vertu to batel; and thou hast supplauntid, ether disseyued, vndur me men risynge ayens me.</span> <span class="verse" data-verse="5"><sup>5</sup> And thou hast youe myn enemyes abac to me; and thou hast distried men hatynge me.
6 Thei crieden, and noon was that maad hem saaf; `thei crieden to the Lord, and he herde not hem.
7 And Y schal al to-breke hem, as dust bifor the face of wynd; Y schal do hem awei, as the cley of stretis.
8 Thou schalt delyuere me fro ayenseiyngis of the puple; thou schalt sette me in to the heed of folkis.
9 The puple, which Y knewe not, seruede me; in the herynge of eere it obeiede to me.
10 Alien sones lieden to me, alien sones wexiden elde; and crokiden fro thi pathis.
11 The Lord lyueth, and my God be blessid; and the God of myn helthe be enhaunsid.
12 God, that yauest veniaunces to me, and makist suget puplis vndur me; my delyuerere fro my wrathful enemyes.
