Psalms 54

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.

To victorie in orguns, ether in salmes, the lernyng of Dauid, `whanne Zyfeys camen, and seiden to Saul, Whethir Dauid is not hid at vs? God, in thi name make thou me saaf; and in thi vertu deme thou me.

2 O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.

God, here thou my preier; with eeris perseyue thou the wordis of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

For aliens han rise ayens me, and stronge men souyten my lijf; and thei settiden not God bifor her siyt.

4 Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

For, lo! God helpith me; and the Lord is vptaker of my soule.

5 He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

Turne thou awei yuelis to myn enemyes; and leese thou hem in thi treuthe.

6 Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.

Wilfuli Y schal make sacrifice to thee; and, Lord, Y schal knouleche to thi name, for it is good.

7 For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.

For thou delyueridist me fro al tribulacioun; and myn iye dispiside on myn enemyes.
