- 2 Who yyueth to me, that I be bisidis the elde monethis, bi the daies in whiche God kepte me?
- 3 Whanne his lanterne schynede on myn heed, and Y yede in derknessis at his liyt.
- 4 As Y was in the daies of my yongthe, whanne in priuete God was in my tabernacle.
- 5 Whanne Almyyti God was with me, and my children weren in my cumpas;
- 6 whanne Y waischide my feet in botere, and the stoon schedde out to me the stremes of oile;
- 7 whanne Y yede forth to the yate of the citee, and in the street thei maden redi a chaier to me.
- 8 Yonge men, `that is, wantoun, sien me, and weren hid, and elde men risynge vp stoden;
- 9 princes ceessiden to speke, and puttiden the fyngur on her mouth;
- 10 duykis refreyneden her vois, and her tunge cleuyde to her throte.
- 11 An eere herynge blesside me, and an iye seynge yeldide witnessyng to me;
- 12 for Y hadde delyueride a pore man criynge, and a fadirles child, that hadde noon helpere.
- 13 The blessyng of a man `to perische cam on me, and Y coumfortide the herte of a widewe.
- 14 Y was clothid with riytfulnesse; and Y clothide me as with a cloth, and with my `doom a diademe.

- 16 Y was a fadir of pore men; and Y enqueride most diligentli the cause, which Y knew not.
- 17 Y al tobrak the grete teeth of the wickid man, and Y took awei prey fro hise teeth.
- 18 And Y seide, Y schal die in my nest; and as a palm tre Y schal multiplie daies.
- 19 My roote is openyde bisidis watris, and deew schal dwelle in my repyng.
- 20 My glorie schal euere be renulid, and my bouwe schal be astorid in myn hond.
- 21 Thei, that herden me, abiden my sentence; and thei weren ententif, and weren stille to my counsel.
- 22 Thei dursten no thing adde to my wordis; and my speche droppide on hem.
- 23 Thei abididen me as reyn; and thei openyden her mouth as to the softe reyn `comynge late.
- 24 If ony tyme Y leiyide to hem, thei bileueden not; and the liyt of my cheer felde not doun in to erthe.
- 25 If Y wolde go to hem, Y sat the firste; and whanne Y sat as kyng, while the oost stood aboute, netheles Y was comfortour of hem that morenyden.

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
