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.

[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"] Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

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

Hear my prayer, God. Listen 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 have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)

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

Look, God is my helper. Jehovah is the one who sustains my soul.

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

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

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

With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, Jehovah, 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. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
