| [1]The `title of the hundrid and two and fourtithe salm. The salm of Dauid. Lord, here thou my preier, with eeris perseyue thou my biseching; in thi treuthe here thou me, in thi riytwisnesse. |
[1]I cried unto the Lord with my voice: with my voice I prayed unto the Lord. |
| [2]And entre thou not in to dom with thi seruaunt; for ech man lyuynge schal not be maad iust in thi siyt. |
[2]I poured out my meditation before him , and declared mine affliction in his presence. |
| [3]For the enemy pursuede my soule; he made lowe my lijf in erthe. He hath set me in derk placis, as the deed men of the world, |
[3]Though my spirit was in perplexity in me, yet thou knewest my path: in the way, wherein I walked, have they privily laid a snare for me. |
| [4]and my spirit was angwischid on me; myn herte was disturblid in me. |
[4]I looked upon my right hand, and beheld, but there was none that would know me: all refuge failed me, and none cared for my soul. |
| [5]I was myndeful of elde daies, Y bithouyte in alle thi werkis; Y bithouyte in the dedis of thin hondis. |
[5]Then cried I unto thee, O Lord, and said, Thou art mine hope, and my portion in the land of the living. |
| [6]I helde forth myn hondis to thee; my soule as erthe with out water to thee. |
[6]Hearken unto my cry, for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me. |
| [7]Lord, here thou me swiftli; my spirit failide. Turne thou not a wei thi face fro me; and Y schal be lijk to hem that gon doun in to the lake. |
[7]Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: then shall the righteous come about me, when thou art beneficial unto me. |
