Psalmorum 56
1 In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth. Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me.
`In Ebreu thus, To the ouercomyng on the doumb culuer of fer drawing awei, the comely song of Dauid, whanne Filisteis helden hym in Geth. `In Jeroms translacioun thus, To the ouercomer for the doumb culuer, for it yede awei fer. Dauid meke and symple made this salm, whanne Palesteyns helden hym in Geth. God, haue thou merci on me, for a man hath defoulid me; al dai he impugnyde, and troublide me.
2 Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
Myn enemyes defouliden me al dai; for manye fiyteris weren ayens me.
3 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
Of the hiynesse of dai Y schal drede; but God Y schal hope in thee.
4 In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
In God Y schal preise my wordis; Y hopide in God, Y schal not drede what thing fleisch schal do to me.
5 Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
Al dai thei cursiden my wordis; ayens me alle her thouytis weren in to yuel.
6 Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
Thei schulen dwelle, and schulen hide; thei schulen aspie myn heele.
7 pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.
As thei abiden my lijf, for nouyt schalt thou make hem saaf; in ire thou schalt breke togidre puplis.
8 Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua:
God, Y schewide my lijf to thee; thou hast set my teeris in thi siyt. As and in thi biheest, Lord;
9 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
thanne myn enemyes schulen be turned abak. In what euere dai Y schal inwardli clepe thee; lo! Y haue knowe, that thou art my God.
10 In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem.
In God Y schal preise a word; in the Lord Y schal preyse a word.
11 In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
Y schal hope in God; Y schal not drede what thing a man schal do to me.
12 In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:
God, thin auowis ben in me; whiche Y schal yelde heriyngis to thee.
13 quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
For thou hast delyuerid my lijf fro deth, and my feet fro slidyng; that Y pleese bifore God in the liyt of hem that lyuen.
