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.

God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

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

God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

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

because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

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

But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

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

He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

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

Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

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

you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.
