| [1]The title of the oon and seuentithe salm. `To Salomon. |
[1]In thee, O Lord, I trust: let me never be ashamed. |
| [2]God, yyue thi doom to the king; and thi riytfulnesse to the sone of a king. To deme thi puple in riytfulnesse; and thi pore men in doom. |
[2]Rescue me and deliver me in thy righteousness: incline thine ear unto me and save me. |
| [3]Mounteyns resseyue pees to the puple; and litle hillis resseyue riytfulnesse. |
[3]Be thou my strong rock, where unto I may alway resort: thou hast given commandment to save me: for thou art my rock, and my fortress. |
| [4]He schal deme the pore men of the puple, and he schal make saaf the sones of pore men; and he schal make low the false chalengere. |
[4]Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked: out of the hand of the evil and cruel man. |
| [5]And he schal dwelle with the sunne, and bifore the moone; in generacioun and in to generacioun. |
[5]For thou art mine hope, O Lord God, even my trust from my youth. |
| [6]He schal come doun as reyn in to a flees; and as goteris droppinge on the erthe. |
[6]Upon thee have I been stayed from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be always of thee. |
| [7]Riytfulnesse schal come forth in hise dayes, and the aboundaunce of pees; til the moone be takun awei. |
[7]I am become as it were a monster unto many: but thou art my sure trust. |
| [8]And he schal be lord fro the-see `til to the see; and fro the flood til to the endis of the world. |
[8]Let my mouth be filled with thy praise, and with thy glory every day. |
| [9]Ethiopiens schulen falle doun bifore hym; and hise enemyes schulen licke the erthe. |
[9]Cast me not off in the time of age: forsake me not when my strength faileth. |
| [10]The kyngis of Tarsis and ilis schulen offre yiftis; the kyngis of Arabie and of Saba schulen brynge yiftis. |
[10]For mine enemies speak of me, and they that lay wait for my soul, take their counsel together, |
| [11]And alle kyngis schulen worschipe hym; alle folkis schulen serue hym. |
[11]Saying, God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him. |
| [12]For he schal delyuer a pore man fro the miyti; and a pore man to whom was noon helpere. |
[12]Go not far from me, O God: my God, haste thee to help me. |
| [13]He schal spare a pore man and nedi; and he schal make saaf the soulis of pore men. |
[13]Let them be confounded and consumed that are against my soul: let them be covered with reproof and confusion, that seek mine hurt. |
| [14]He schal ayen bie the soulis of hem fro vsuris, and wickidnesse; and the name of hem is onourable bifor hym. |
[14]But I will wait continually, and will praise thee more and more. |
| [15]And he schal lyue, and me schal yyue to hym of the gold of Arabie; and thei schulen euere worschipe of hym, al dai thei schulen blesse hym. |
[15]My mouth shall daily rehearse thy righteousness, and thy salvation: for I know not the number. |
| [16]Stidefastnesse schal be in the erthe, in the hiyeste places of mounteyns; the fruyt therof schal be enhaunsid aboue the Liban; and thei schulen blosme fro the citee, as the hey of erthe doith. |
[16]I will go forward in the strength of the Lord God, and will make mention of thy righteousness , even of thine only. |
| [17]His name be blessid in to worldis; his name dwelle bifore the sunne. And all the lynagis of erthe schulen be blessid in hym; alle folkis schulen magnyfie hym. |
[17]O God, thou hast taught me from my youth even until now: therefore will I tell of thy wondrous works, |
| [18]Blessid be the Lord God of Israel; which aloone makith merueiylis. |
[18]Yea, even unto mine old age and gray head, O God: forsake me not, until I have declared thine arm unto this generation, and thy power to all them, that shall come. |
| [19]Blessid be the name of his maieste with outen ende; and al erthe schal be fillid with his maieste; be it doon, be it doon. |
[19]And thy righteousness, O God, I will exalt on high: for thou hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! |
| [20]`The preieris of Dauid, the sone of Ysay, ben endid. |
[20]Which hast showed me great troubles and adversities, but thou wilt return and revive me, and wilt come again, and take me up from the depth of the earth. |
| 21[No verse] |
[21]Thou wilt increase mine honor, and return and comfort me. |
| 22[No verse] |
[22]Therefore will I praise thee for thy faithfulness, O God, upon instrument and viol: unto thee will I sing upon the harp, O Holy One of Israel. |
| 23[No verse] |
[23]My lips will rejoice when I sing unto thee, and my soul, which thou hast delivered. |
| 24[No verse] |
[24]My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness daily: for they are confounded and brought unto shame, that seek mine hurt. |
