Dauid meke and symple made this salm, whanne Palesteyns helden hym in Geth.
[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 fiyteris weren ayens me.
[4]Of the hiynesse 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; ayens me alle her thouytis weren in to yuel.
[7]Thei schulen dwelle, and schulen hide; thei schulen aspie myn heele.
[8]As thei abiden my lijf, for nouyt 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 siyt. 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 yelde heriyngis to thee.
[13]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.
