PSALM CXLIII.
1 The salm of Dauid; a&yogh;en Golie.
noteBlissed the Lord my God, that techeth
myn hondis to strif; and mi fingeris to
bataile.
2 My mercy, and my refut; myn
vndertakere, and my delyuerere. My defendere,
and in hym I hopide; that vndirpooteth
my puple vnder me.
3 Lord, what
is a man, for thou hast myche maad
knowen to hym; or the sone of man, for
thou eymest hym?
4 A man to vanyte is
maad lic; his da&yogh;is as shadewe passen.
5 Lord, bowe doun thin heuenes, and cum
doun; touche the monteynes, and thei
shuln smoken.
6 Leite thou leitingis, and
thou shalt scateren hem; send out thin
arewis, and thou shalt al disturbe them.
7 Send out thin hond fro an hei&yogh;, tac me
out, and deliuere me of many watris; and
fro the hond of alien sones.
8 Whos mouth
spac vanyte; and the ri&yogh;thalf of hem the
ri&yogh;thalf of wickidnesse.
9 God, a newe song
I shal singe to thee; in the ten cordid
sautre I shal do salm to thee.
10 That
&yogh;iuest helthe to kingis; that a&yogh;een bo&yogh;tist
Dauid, thi seruaunt, fro the malice doinge
swerd tac me awey.
11 And pull me
awei fro the hond of alienes sones, whos
mouth spac vanyte; and the ri&yogh;thalf of
hem the ri&yogh;thalf of wickidnesse.
12 Whos
sones; as newe plauntingis in ther &yogh;outhe.
The do&yogh;tris of hem maad semely; enhourned
13 aboute as the licnesse of the temple.
-- --
The celeris of hem fulle; bowende out
fro that into it. The shep of hem ful of
frut, aboundende in ther goingis;
14 the oxen
of hem fatte. Ther is not falling of wal,
ne passing ouer; ne cry in the stretis of
hem.
15 Blisful, thei seiden, the puple, to
whom these thingis ben; blisful the puple,
of the whiche the Lord is his God.
