1 The preier of Dauid. Lord, bowe doun thin eere, and here me; for Y am nedi and pore.
A Prayer. David’s. Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear—answer me, For, oppressed and needy, am I;
2 Kepe thou my lijf, for Y am holi; my God, make thou saaf thi seruaunt hopynge in thee.
O guard my life, For, a man of lovingkindness, am I, —Save thy servant, O thou my God, [Thy servant] who trusteth in thee;
3 Lord, haue thou merci on me, for Y criede al day to thee;
Show me favour, O My Lord, For, unto thee, do I cry, all the day;
4 make thou glad the soule of thi seruaunt, for whi, Lord, Y haue reisid my soule to thee.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant, For, unto thee, O My Lord, my soul, do I lift.
5 For thou, Lord, art swete and mylde; and of myche merci to alle men inwardli clepynge thee.
For, thou, O My Lord, art good and forgiving, And abundant in lovingkindness, to all who call upon thee.
6 Lord, perseyue thou my preier with eeris; and yyue thou tente to the vois of my bisechyng.
Give ear, O Yahweh, unto my prayer, And attend unto the voice of my supplications.
7 In the dai of my tribulacioun Y criede to thee; for thou herdist me.
In the day of my distress, will I call upon thee, For thou wilt answer me.
8 Lord, noon among goddis is lijk thee; and noon is euene to thi werkis.
There is none like unto thee, among the gods, O My Lord, And nothing like thy works.
9 Lord, alle folkis, whiche euere thou madist, schulen come, and worschipe bifore thee; and thei schulen glorifie thi name.
All nations whom thou hast made, Shall come in and bow down before thee, O My Lord, That they may glorify thy Name.
10 For thou art ful greet, and makinge merueils; thou art God aloone.
For great thou art, and doest wondrous things, Thou, O God, of thyself alone.
11 Lord, lede thou me forth in thi weie, and Y schal entre in thi treuthe; myn herte be glad, that it drede thi name.
Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, I will walk steadfastly in thy truth, My heart will rejoice to revere thy Name.
12 Mi Lord God, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; and Y schal glorifie thi name withouten ende.
I will give thee thanks, Adonay, my God, with all my heart, And will glorify thy Name unto times age-abiding.
For, thy lovingkindness, is great towards me, And thou hast rescued my soul from Hades beneath. (Sheol h7585)
14 God, wickid men han rise vp on me; and the synagoge of myyti men han souyt my lijf; and thei han not set forth thee in her siyt.
O God, the insolent, have arisen against me, And, the assembly of tyrants, have sought my life, And have not set thee before them.
15 And thou, Lord God, doynge merci, and merciful; pacient, and of myche merci, and sothefast.
But, thou, O My Lord, art, A God of compassion and favour, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness a faithfulness.
16 Biholde on me, and haue mercy on me, yyue thou the empire to thi child; and make thou saaf the sone of thin handmayden.
Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, —Give thy strength to thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Make thou with me a signe in good, that thei se, that haten me, and be aschamed; for thou, Lord, hast helpid me, and hast coumfortid me.
Perform with me a token for good, —That they who hate me may see and be ashamed, In that, thou, Yahweh, hast helped me and comforted me.
