[1]Thetitle of the seuenetenthe salm. To victorie, the word of the Lord to Dauid; which spak the wordis of this song, in the dai in which the Lord delyuerede hym fro the hond of alle hise enemyes, and fro the hond of Saul; and he seide:
[2]Lord,my strengthe, Y schal loue thee; the Lord is my stidfastnesse, and my refuyt, and mi deliuerere.
[3]MiGod is myn helpere; and Y schal hope in to hym. My defendere, and the horn of myn helthe; and myn vptakere.
[4]Ischal preise, and ynwardli clepe the Lord; and Y schal be saaf fro myn enemyes.
[5]Thesorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the strondis of wickidnesse disturbliden me.
[6]Thesorewis of helle cumpassiden me; the snaris of deeth `bifor ocupieden me.
[7]Inmy tribulacioun Y inwardli clepide the Lord; and Y criede to my God. And he herde my vois fro his hooli temple; and my cry in his siyt entride in to hise eeris.
[8]Theerthe was mouede togidere, and tremblede togidere; the foundementis of hillis weren troblid togidere, and weren moued togidere; for he was wrooth to hem.
[9]Smokestiede in the ire of hym, and fier brente out fro his face; coolis weren kyndlid of hym.
[10]Hebowide doun heuenes, and cam doun; and derknesse was vndur hise feet.
[11]Andhe stiede on cherubym, and flei; he fley ouer the pennes of wyndis.
[12]Andhe settide derknesses his hidyng place, his tabernacle `in his cumpas; derk water was in the cloudes of the lowere eir.
[13]Fulcleer cloudis passiden in his siyt; hail and the coolis of fier.
[14]Andthe Lord thundrid fro heuene; and the hiyeste yaf his vois, hail and the coolis of fier `camen doun.
[15]Andhe sente hise arowis, and distriede tho men; he multipliede leytis, and disturblide tho men.
