Wycliffe's English Translation (1388)
Wycliffe
Translated from the Latin in the 14th century
[1]The titil of the hundrid and fourtenthe salm. Alleluia. I louede `the Lord; for the Lord schal here the vois of my preier. [2]For he bowide doun his eere to me; and Y schal inwardli clepe in my daies. [3]The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the perelis of helle founden me. [4]I foond tribulacioun and sorewe; and Y clepide inwardli the name of the Lord. Thou, Lord, delyuere my soule; [5]the Lord is merciful, and iust; and oure God doith merci. [6]And the Lord kepith litle children; Y was mekid, and he delyuerede me. [7]Mi soule, turne thou in to thi reste; for the Lord hath do wel to thee. [8]For he hath delyuered my soule fro deth; myn iyen fro wepingis, my feet fro fallyng doun.
