Psalms 56

1 To the choirmaster - on yonath-elem-rechokim of David a miktam when seized him [the] Philistines in Gath. Show favor to me O God for he has crushed me man all the day [one who] fights he oppresses me.

`In Ebreu thus, To the ouercomyng on the doumb culuer of fer drawing awei, the comely song of Dauid, whanne Filisteis helden hym in Geth. `In Jeroms translacioun thus, To the ouercomer for the doumb culuer, for it yede awei fer. Dauid meke and symple made this salm, whanne Palesteyns helden hym in Geth. God, haue thou merci on me, for a man hath defoulid me; al dai he impugnyde, and troublide me.

2 They have crushed [me] enemies my all the day for many [people] [are] fighting to me height.

Myn enemyes defouliden me al dai; for manye fiyteris weren ayens me.

3 A day [when] I will fear I to you I will trust.

Of the hiynesse of dai Y schal drede; but God Y schal hope in thee.

4 In God I will praise word his in God I have trusted not I am afraid what? will it do flesh to me.

In God Y schal preise my wordis; Y hopide in God, Y schal not drede what thing fleisch schal do to me.

5 All the day words my they twist [are] on me all plans their for evil.

Al dai thei cursiden my wordis; ayens me alle her thouytis weren in to yuel.

6 They stir up trouble - (they lie hidden *Q(K)*) they heels my they watch for just as they have waited for life my.

Thei schulen dwelle, and schulen hide; thei schulen aspie myn heele.

7 Because of wickedness (not *X*) deliver them in anger peoples - bring down O God.

As thei abiden my lijf, for nouyt schalt thou make hem saaf; in ire thou schalt breke togidre puplis.

8 Wandering my you have taken account of you put! tear[s] my in skin-bottle your ¿ not [is it] in scroll your.

God, Y schewide my lijf to thee; thou hast set my teeris in thi siyt. As and in thi biheest, Lord;

9 Then they will turn back enemies my backwards on [the] day [when] I will call out this I know that God [is] for me.

thanne myn enemyes schulen be turned abak. In what euere dai Y schal inwardli clepe thee; lo! Y haue knowe, that thou art my God.

10 In God I will praise a word in Yahweh I will praise a word.

In God Y schal preise a word; in the Lord Y schal preyse a word.

11 In God I have trusted not I am afraid what? will he do anyone to me.

Y schal hope in God; Y schal not drede what thing a man schal do to me.

12 [are] on Me O God vows your I will pay thank-offerings to you.

God, thin auowis ben in me; whiche Y schal yelde heriyngis to thee.

13 For you have delivered life my from death ¿ not feet my from stumbling to go about before God in [the] light of life.

For thou hast delyuerid my lijf fro deth, and my feet fro slidyng; that Y pleese bifore God in the liyt of hem that lyuen.
