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.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy 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 have 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 will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy 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 thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good.

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

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen [its desire] upon my enemies.
