[1]O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory. |
| [2]God, holde thou not stille my preisyng; for the mouth of the synner, and the mouth of the gileful man is openyd on me. |
[2]Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early. |
| [3]Thei spaken ayens me with a gileful tunge, and thei cumpassiden me with wordis of hatrede; and fouyten ayens me with out cause. |
[3]I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to thee among the Gentiles. |
| [4]For that thing that thei schulden loue me, thei bacbitiden me; but Y preiede. |
[4]For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth reaches to the clouds. |
| [5]And thei settiden ayens me yuelis for goodis; and hatrede for my loue. |
[5]Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth. |
| [6]Ordeyne thou a synner on him; and the deuel stonde on his riyt half. |
[6]That thy beloved ones may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary; |
| [7]Whanne he is demed, go he out condempned; and his preier `be maad in to synne. |
[7]I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents. |
| [8]Hise daies be maad fewe; and another take his bischopriche. |
[8]Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king; |
| [9]Hise sones be maad faderles; and his wijf a widewe. |
[9]Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me. |
| [10]Hise sones tremblinge be born ouer, and begge; and be cast out of her habitaciouns. |
[10]Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea? |
| [11]An vsurere seke al his catel; and aliens rauysche hise trauelis. |
[11]Wilt not thou, O God, who hast rejected us? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? |
| [12]Noon helpere be to him; nether ony be that haue mercy on hise modirles children. |
[12]Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man. |
| [13]Hise sones be maad in to perisching; the name of him be don awei in oon generacioun. |
[13]Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nought our enemies. |
