[1]The title of the fourtithe salm. For victorie, the song of Dauid.[2]Blessid is he that vndurstondith `on a nedi man and pore; the Lord schal delyuere hym in the yuel dai.[3]The Lord kepe hym, and quykene hym, and make hym blesful in the lond; and bitake not hym in to the wille of his enemyes.[4]The Lord bere help to hym on the bed of his sorewe; thou hast ofte turned al his bed stre in his sijknesse.[5]I seide, Lord, haue thou mercy on me; heele thou my soule, for Y synnede ayens thee.[6]Myn enemyes seiden yuels to me; Whanne schal he die, and his name schal perische?[7]And if he entride for to se, he spak veyn thingis; his herte gaderide wickidnesse to hym silf.[8]He yede with out forth; and spak to the same thing. Alle myn enemyes bacbitiden pryuyli ayens me; ayens me thei thouyten yuels to me.[9]Thei ordeineden an yuel word ayens me; Whether he that slepith, schal not leie to, that he rise ayen?[10]For whi the man of my pees, in whom Y hopide, he that eet my looues; made greet disseit on me.[11]But thou, Lord, haue merci on me, and reise me ayen; and Y schal yelde to hem.[12]In this thing Y knew, that thou woldist me; for myn enemye schal not haue ioye on me.[13]Forsothe thou hast take me vp for ynnocence; and hast confermed me in thi siyt with outen ende.[14]Blessid be the Lord God of Israel, fro the world and in to the world; be it doon, be it doon.[15][No verse][16][No verse][17][No verse]
