[1]The `title of the hundrid and sixte salm. Alleluya. Knouleche ye to the Lord, for he is good; for his merci is in to the world.
[2]Sei thei, that ben ayen bouyt of the Lord; whiche he ayen bouyte fro the hond of the enemye, fro cuntreis he gaderide hem togidere.
[3]Fro the risyng of the sunne, and fro the goyng doun; fro the north, and fro the see.
[4]Thei erriden in wildirnesse, in a place with out watir; thei founden not weie of the citee of dwellyng place.
[5]Thei weren hungri and thirsti; her soule failide in hem.
[6]And thei crieden to the Lord, whanne thei weren set in tribulacioun; and he delyuerede hem fro her nedynesses.
[7]And he ledde forth hem in to the riyt weie; that thei schulden go in to the citee of dwelling.
[8]The mercies of the Lord knouleche to hym; and hise merueilis knouleche to the sones of men.
[9]For he fillide a voide man; and he fillide with goodis an hungry man.
[10]God delyuerede men sittynge in derknessis, and in the schadowe of deth; and men prisoned in beggerye and in yrun.
[11]For thei maden bitter the spechis of God; and wraththiden the councel of the hiyeste.
[12]And the herte of hem was maad meke in trauelis; and thei weren sijk, and noon was that helpide.
[13]And thei crieden to the Lord, whanne thei weren set in tribulacioun; and he delyuerede hem from her nedynessis.
[14]And he ledde hem out of derknessis, and schadowe of deth; and brak the boondis of hem.
[15]The mercies of the Lord knouleche to hym; and hise merueils knouleche to the sones of men.
[16]For he al to-brak brasun yatis; and he brak yrun barris.
[17]He vptook hem fro the weie of her wickidnesse; for thei weren maad lowe for her vnriytfulnesses.
[18]The soule of hem wlatide al mete; and thei neiyeden `til to the yatis of deth.
[19]And thei crieden to the Lord, whanne thei weren set in tribulacioun; and he delyuerede hem fro her nedynessis.
[20]He sente his word, and heelide hem; and delyuerede hem fro the perischingis of hem.
[21]The mercies of the Lord knouleche to hym; and hise merueils to the sones of men.
[22]And offre thei the sacrifice of heriyng; and telle thei hise werkis in ful out ioiyng.
[23]Thei that gon doun in to the see in schippis; and maken worching in many watris.
[24]Thei sien the werkis of the Lord; and hise merueilis in the depthe.
[25]He seide, and the spirit of tempest stood; and the wawis therof weren arerid.
[26]Thei stien til to heuenes, and goen doun `til to the depthis; the soule of hem failide in yuelis.
[27]Thei weren troblid, and thei weren moued as a drunkun man; and al the wisdom of hem was deuourid.
[28]And thei crieden to the Lord, whanne thei weren set in tribulacioun; and he ledde hem out of her nedynessis.
[29]And he ordeynede the tempest therof in to a soft wynde; and the wawis therof weren stille.
[30]And thei weren glad, for tho weren stille; and he ladde hem forth in to the hauene of her wille.
[31]The mercies of the Lord knouleche to hym; and hise merueilis to the sones of men.
[32]And enhaunse thei him in the chirche of the puple; and preise thei him in the chaier of eldre men.
[33]He hath set floodis in to deseert; and the out goingis of watris in to thirst.
[34]He hath set fruytful lond in to saltnesse; for the malice of men dwellyng ther ynne.
[35]He hath set deseert in to pondis of watris; and erthe with out watir in to outgoyngis of watris.
[36]And he settide there hungri men; and thei maden a citee of dwelling.
[37]And thei sowiden feeldis, and plauntiden vynes; and maden fruyt of birthe.
[38]And he blesside hem, and thei weren multiplied greetli; and he made not lesse her werk beestis.
[39]And thei weren maad fewe; and thei weren trauelid of tribulacioun of yuelis and of sorewis.
[40]Strijf was sched out on princes; and he made hem for to erre without the weie, and not in the weie.
[41]And he helpide the pore man fro pouert; and settide meynees as a scheep bringynge forth lambren.
[42]Riytful men schulen se, and schulen be glad; and al wickidnesse schal stoppe his mouth.
[43]Who is wijs, and schal kepe these thingis; and schal vndirstonde the mercies of the Lord?
