[[A song of degrees.]]
[1]The `title of the hundrid and twentithe salm. The song of greces. I reiside myn iyen to the hillis; fro whannus help schal come to me. [1]I called unto the Lord in my trouble, and he heard me.
[2]Myn help is of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe. [2]Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
[3]The Lord yyue not thi foot in to mouyng; nether he nappe, that kepith thee. [3]What doth thy deceitful tongue bring unto thee? Or what doth it avail thee?
[4]Lo! he schal not nappe, nether slepe; that kepith Israel. [4]It is as the sharp arrows of a mighty man, and as the coals of juniper.
[5]The Lord kepith thee; the Lord is thi proteccioun aboue thi riythond. [5]Woe is to me that I remain in Mesech, and dwell in the tents of Kedar.
[6]The sunne schal not brenne thee bi dai; nether the moone bi nyyt. [6]My soul hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
[7]The Lord kepe thee fro al yuel; the Lord kepe thi soule. [7]I seek peace, and when I speak thereof, they are bent to war.
