Psalms 54

1 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.

Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your strength.

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

Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

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

For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

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

He shall reward evil to my enemies: cut them off in your truth.

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

I will freely sacrifice to you: I will praise your name, O LORD; for it is good.

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

For he has delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye has seen his desire on my enemies.
