1 The title of the eiythe salm. To the ouercomere, for pressours, the salm of Dauid. 2 Lord, thou art oure Lord; thi name is ful wonderful in al erthe. For thi greet doyng is reisid, aboue heuenes. 3 Of the mouth of yonge children, not spekynge and soukynge mylk, thou madist perfitli heriyng, for thin enemyes; that thou destrie the enemy and avengere. 4 For Y schal se thin heuenes, the werkis of thi fyngris; the moone and sterris, whiche thou hast foundid. 5 What is a man, that thou art myndeful of hym; ethir the sone of a virgyn, for thou visitist hym? 6 Thou hast maad hym a litil lesse than aungels; thou hast corouned hym with glorie and onour, 7 and hast ordeyned hym aboue the werkis of thin hondis. 8 Thou hast maad suget alle thingis vndur hise feet; alle scheep and oxis, ferthermore and the beestis of the feeld; 9 the briddis of the eir, and the fischis of the see; that passen bi the pathis of the see. 10 Lord, `thou art oure Lord; thi name `is wondurful in al erthe. PALM 9 11 And thei, that knowen thi name, haue hope in thee; for thou, Lord, hast not forsake hem that seken thee. 12 Synge ye to the Lord, that dwellith in Syon; telle ye hise studyes among hethene men. 13 God foryetith not the cry of pore men; for he hath mynde, and sekith the blood of hem. 14 Lord, haue thou merci on me; se thou my mekenesse of myn enemyes. 15 Which enhaunsist me fro the yatis of deeth; that Y telle alle thi preisyngis in the yatis of the douyter of Syon. 16 Y schal `be fulli ioyeful in thin helthe; hethene men ben fast set in the perisching, which thei maden. In this snare, which thei hidden, the foot of hem is kauyt. 17 The Lord makynge domes schal be knowun; the synnere is takun in the werkis of hise hondis. 18 Synneris be turned togidere in to helle; alle folkis, that foryeten God. 19 For the foryetyng of a pore man schal not be in to the ende; the pacience of pore men schal not perische in to the ende. 20 Lord, rise thou vp, a man be not coumfortid; folkis be demyd in thi siyt. 21 Lord, ordeine thou a lawe makere on hem; wite folkis, that thei ben men.
