| [1]The `title of the sixte and seuentithe salm. `To the ouercomere on Yditum, `the salm of Asaph. |
[1]IN Judah is God known; his name is great in Israel. |
| [2]With my vois Y criede to the Lord; with my vois to God, and he yaf tent to me. |
[2]In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. |
| [3]In the dai of my tribulacioun Y souyte God with myn hondis; in the nyyt `to fore hym, and Y am not disseyued. Mi soule forsook to be coumfortid; |
[3]There broke he the arms of the bow, the shield, and the sword, in the battle. |
| [4]Y was myndeful of God, and Y delitide, and Y was exercisid; and my spirit failide. |
[4]Thou art all glorious and excellent from thy mighty mountain. |
| [5]Myn iyen bifore took wakyngis; Y was disturblid, and Y spak not. |

| [6]I thouyte elde daies; and Y hadde in mynde euerlastinge yeeris. |
[6]Their hands prevailed not because of thy rebuke, O God of Jacob; the horsemen are cast into a dead sleep. |
| [7]And Y thouyte in the nyyt with myn herte; and Y was exercisid, and Y clensid my spirit. |

| [8]Whether God schal caste awei with outen ende; ether schal he not lei to, that he be more plesid yit? |

[9]When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. |
| [10]Ethir schal God foryete to do mercy; ethir schal he withholde his mercies in his ire? |
[10]For the wisdom of man shall praise thee; the remainder of his wrath shalt thou restrain. |
| [11]And Y seide, Now Y bigan; this is the chaunging of the riythond of `the hiye God. |
[11]Vow and fulfil thy vows to the LORD thy God; let all that be round about him bring presents to him who is to be revered. |
| [12]I hadde mynde on the werkis of the Lord; for Y schal haue mynde fro the bigynnyng of thi merueilis. |
[12]He shall humble the pride of the rulers; he is dreaded by the kings of the earth. |
