PSALM LV.
1 The title of the fyue and fiftithe salm.
`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
&yogh;ede awei fer. Dauid meke and symple
made this salm, whanne Palesteyns
helden hym in Geth note.
2 God, haue thou merci on me, for a man
hath defoulid me; al dai he impugnyde,
and troublide me.
3 Myn enemyes defouliden
me al dai; for manye fi&yogh;teris weren
a&yogh;ens me.
4 Of the hi&yogh;nesse of dai Y schal
drede; but God Y schal hope in thee.
5 In
God Y schal preise my wordis; Y hopide
in God, Y schal not drede what thing
fleisch schal do to me.
6 Al dai thei cursiden
my wordis; a&yogh;ens me alle her thou&yogh;tis
weren in to yuel.
7 Thei schulen dwelle,
and schulen hide; thei schulen aspie myn
heele.
8 As thei abiden my lijf, for nou&yogh;t
schalt thou make hem saaf; in ire thou
schalt breke togidre puplis.
9 God, Y schewide
my lijf to thee; thou hast set my teeris
in thi si&yogh;t. As and in thi biheest, Lord;
10 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.
11 In God Y schal preise a
word; in the Lord Y schal preyse a word.
Y schal hope in God; Y schal not drede
what thing a man schal do to me.
12 God,
thin auowis ben in me; whiche Y schal
&yogh;elde heriyngis to thee.
13 For thou hast
delyuerid my lijf fro deth, and my feet
fro slidyng; that Y pleese bifore God in
the li&yogh;t of hem that lyuen.
