- 1 The `title of the hundrid and eiyte and thrittithe salm. `To victorie, the salm of Dauith. Lord, thou hast preued me, and hast knowe me;
- 2 thou hast knowe my sitting, and my rising ayen.
- 3 Thou hast vndirstonde my thouytis fro fer; thou hast enquerid my path and my corde.
- 4 And thou hast bifor seien alle my weies; for no word is in my tunge.
- 5 Lo! Lord, thou hast knowe alle thingis, the laste thingis and elde; thou hast formed me, and hast set thin hond on me.
- 6 Thi kunnyng is maad wondirful of me; it is coumfortid, and Y schal not mowe to it.
- 7 Whidir schal Y go fro thi spirit; and whider schal Y fle fro thi face?
- 8 If Y schal stie in to heuene, thou art there; if Y schal go doun to helle, thou art present.
- 9 If Y schal take my fetheris ful eerli; and schal dwelle in the last partis of the see.
- 10 And sotheli thider thin hond schal leede me forth; and thi riyt hond schal holde me.
- 11 And Y seide, In hap derknessis schulen defoule me; and the nyyt is my liytnyng in my delicis.
- 12 For whi derknessis schulen not be maad derk fro thee, aud the niyt schal be liytned as the dai; as the derknessis therof, so and the liyt therof.
- 13 For thou haddist in possessioun my reines; thou tokist me vp fro the wombe of my modir.
- 14 I schal knouleche to thee, for thou art magnefied dreedfuli; thi werkis ben wondirful, and my soule schal knouleche ful miche.
- 15 Mi boon, which thou madist in priuete, is not hyd fro thee; and my substaunce in the lower partis of erthe.
- 16 Thin iyen sien myn vnperfit thing, and alle men schulen be writun in thi book; daies schulen be formed, and no man is in tho.
- 17 Forsothe, God, thi frendis ben maad onourable ful myche to me; the princeheed of hem is coumfortid ful myche.
- 18 I schal noumbre hem, and thei schulen be multiplied aboue grauel; Y roos vp, and yit Y am with thee.
- 19 For thou, God, schalt slee synneris; ye menquelleris, bowe awei fro me.
- 20 For ye seien in thouyt; Take thei her citees in vanite.
- 21 Lord, whether Y hatide not hem that hatiden thee; and Y failide on thin enemyes?
- 22 Bi perfite haterede Y hatide hem; thei weren maad enemyes to me.
- 23 God, preue thou me, and knowe thou myn herte; axe thou me, and knowe thou my pathis.
- 24 And se thou, if weie of wickidnesse is in me; and lede thou me forth in euerlastinge wei.

John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395) (wycliffe - 2.4.1)
2020-08-01English (enm)
The Holy Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, with the Apocryphal books, in the earliest English versions made from the Latin Vulgate by John Wycliffe and his followers, c.1395
Source text https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(Wycliffe)
John Wycliffe organized the first complete translation of the Bible into Middle English in the 1380s.
The translation from the Vulgate was a collaborative effort, and it is not clear which portions are actually Wycliffe's work.
Church authorities officially condemned the translators of the Bible into vernacular languages and called these heretics Lollards.
Despite their prohibition, revised versions of Wycliffite Bibles remained in use for about 100 years.
Wikisource attributes its source as the Wesley Center Online.
That in turn was derived from the Fedosov transcription on the Slavic Bibles site http://www.sbible.ru
The source text makes no use of archaic letters that were part of Middle English orthography.
The Latin letter Yogh [ȝ] was evidently replaced by the letter [y] in the Fedosov transcription.
The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.
Verse numbers were not used in either the earlier or later version of the Wycliffe Bible in the fourteenth century. Each chapter consisted of one unbroken block of text. There were not even any paragraphs. Hence whatever verse numbers we now have in modern editions have been added retrospectively by comparison with other English Bibles and the Latin Vulgate.
Two books found in the Vulgate, II Esdras and Psalm 151, were never part of the Wycliffe Bible.
Module build notes:
1. The Prayer of Manasseh has been separated from 2 Chronicles in order to avoid a critical versification issue.
cf. In Wikisource it was assigned as 2 Paralipomenon chapter 37.
2. The Letter of Jeremiah has been joined to Baruch as chapter 6 thereof.
3. The book order of Wycliffe's Bible differs from that of the Vulg versification used in this module.
4. There are now 313 notes in the Wikisource document.
5. The Wikisource text substantially matches that of the nine books in module version 1.0
6. Each of these five verses not in the Vulg versification was appended to the previous verse: Deut.27.27 Esth.5.15 Ps.38.15 Ps.147.10 Luke.10.43
7. There are also several verses without any text. Use Sword utility emptyvss to list these.- Encoding: UTF-8
