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.

Psalmus, in finem, In hymnis intellectus David, cum venerunt Ziphaei, et dixerunt ad Saul: Nonne ecce David absconditus est apud nos? Deus in nomine tuo salvum me fac: et in virtute tua iudica me.

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

Deus exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe verba oris mei.

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

Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quaesierunt animam meam: et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.

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

Ecce enim Deus adiuvat me: et Dominus susceptor est animae meae.

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

Averte mala inimicis meis: et in veritate tua disperde illos.

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

Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, et confitebor nomini tuo Domine: quoniam bonum est:

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

Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me: et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
