< Psalms 120 >
1 The song of greces. Whanne Y was set in tribulacioun, Y criede to the Lord; and he herde me.
Na minha angústia clamei ao Senhor, e me ouviu.
2 Lord, delyuere thou my soule fro wickid lippis; and fro a gileful tunge.
Senhor, livra a minha alma dos lábios mentirosos e da língua enganadora.
3 What schal be youun to thee, ether what schal be leid to thee; to a gileful tunge?
Que te será dado, ou que te será acrescentado, língua enganadora?
4 Scharpe arowis of the myyti; with colis that maken desolat.
Flechas agudas do valente, com brazas vivas de zimbro.
5 Allas to me! for my dwelling in an alien lond is maad long, Y dwellide with men dwellinge in Cedar; my soule was myche a comelyng.
Ai de mim, que peregrino em Mesech, e habito nas tendas de Kedar.
6 I was pesible with hem that hatiden pees;
A minha alma bastante tempo habitou com os que detestam a paz.
7 whanne Y spak to hem, thei ayenseiden me with outen cause.
Pacífico sou, porém quando eu falo já eles procuram guerra.
