| title | 17:1 The title of the seuenetenthe salm. To victorie, the word of the Lord to Dauid; which spak the wordis of this song, in the dai in which the Lord delyuerede hym fro the hond of alle hise enemyes, and fro the hond of Saul; and he seide: |
| 1 | 17:2 Lord, my strengthe, Y schal loue thee; the Lord is my stidfastnesse, and my refuyt, and mi deliuerere. |
| 2 | 17:3 Mi God is myn helpere; and Y schal hope in to hym. My defendere, and the horn of myn helthe; and myn vptakere. |
| 3 | 17:4 I schal preise, and ynwardli clepe the Lord; and Y schal be saaf fro myn enemyes. |
| 4 | 17:5 The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the strondis of wickidnesse disturbliden me. |
| 5 | 17:6 The sorewis of helle cumpassiden me; the snaris of deeth `bifor ocupieden me. |
| 6 | 17:7 In my tribulacioun Y inwardli clepide the Lord; and Y criede to my God. And he herde my vois fro his hooli temple; and my cry in his siyt entride in to hise eeris. |
| 7 | 17:8 The erthe was mouede togidere, and tremblede togidere; the foundementis of hillis weren troblid togidere, and weren moued togidere; for he was wrooth to hem. |
| 8 | 17:9 Smoke stiede in the ire of hym, and fier brente out fro his face; coolis weren kyndlid of hym. |
| 9 | 17:10 He bowide doun heuenes, and cam doun; and derknesse was vndur hise feet. |
| 10 | 17:11 And he stiede on cherubym, and flei; he fley ouer the pennes of wyndis. |
| 11 | 17:12 And he settide derknesses his hidyng place, his tabernacle `in his cumpas; derk water was in the cloudes of the lowere eir. |
| 12 | 17:13 Ful cleer cloudis passiden in his siyt; hail and the coolis of fier. |
| 13 | 17:14 And the Lord thundrid fro heuene; and the hiyeste yaf his vois, hail and the coolis of fier `camen doun. |
| 14 | 17:15 And he sente hise arowis, and distriede tho men; he multipliede leytis, and disturblide tho men. |
| 15 | 17:16 And the wellis of watris apperiden; and the foundementis of the erthe weren schewid. Lord, of thi blamyng; of the brething of the spirit of thin ire. |
| 16 | 17:17 He sente fro the hiyeste place, and took me; and he took me fro many watris. |
| 17 | 17:18 He delyuerede me fro my strongeste enemyes; and fro hem that hatiden me, fro thei weren coumfortid on me. |
| 18 | 17:19 Thei camen bifor me in the dai of my turment; and the Lord was maad my defendere. |
| 19 | 17:20 And he ledde out me in to breede; he maad me saaf, for he wolde me. |
| 20 | 17:21 And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and he schal yelde to me bi the clennesse of myn hondis. |
| 21 | 17:22 For Y kepte the weies of the Lord; and Y dide not vnfeithfuli fro my God. |
| 22 | 17:23 For alle hise domes ben in my siyt; and Y puttide not awei fro me hise riytfulnessis. |
| 23 | 17:24 And Y schal be vnwemmed with hym; and Y schal kepe me fro my wickidnesse. |
| 24 | 17:25 And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi the clennesse of myn hondis in the siyt of hise iyen. |
| 25 | 17:26 With the hooli, thou schalt be hooli; and with `a man innocent, thou schalt be innocent. |
| 26 | 17:27 And with a chosun man, thou schalt be chosun; and with a weiward man, thou schalt be weiward. |
| 27 | 17:28 For thou schalt make saaf a meke puple; and thou schalt make meke the iyen of proude men. |
| 28 | 17:29 For thou, Lord, liytnest my lanterne; my God, liytne thou my derknessis. |
| 29 | 17:30 For bi thee Y schal be delyuered fro temptacioun; and in my God Y schal `go ouer the wal. |
| 30 | 17:31 Mi God, his weie is vndefoulid, the speches of the Lord ben examyned bi fier; he is defendere of alle men hopynge in hym. |
| 31 | 17:32 For whi, who is God out takun the Lord? ethir who is God outakun oure God? |
| 32 | 17:33 God that hath gird me with vertu; and hath set my weie vnwemmed. |
| 33 | 17:34 Which made perfit my feet as of hertis; and ordeynynge me on hiye thingis. |
| 34 | 17:35 Which techith myn hondis to batel; and thou hast set myn armys as a brasun bouwe. |
| 35 | 17:36 And thou hast youe to me the kyueryng of thin helthe; and thi riythond hath vptake me. And thi chastisyng amendide me in to the ende; and thilke chastisyng of thee schal teche me. |
| 36 | 17:37 Thou alargidist my paaces vndur me; and my steppis ben not maad vnstidefast. |
| 37 | 17:38 Y schal pursue myn enemyes, and Y schal take hem; and Y schal not turne til thei failen. |
| 38 | 17:39 I schal al to-breke hem, and thei schulen not mowe stonde; thei schulen falle vndur my feet. |
| 39 | 17:40 And thou hast gird me with vertu to batel; and thou hast `supplauntid, ether disseyued, vndur me men risynge ayens me. |
| 40 | 17:41 And thou hast youe myn enemyes abac to me; and thou hast distried `men hatynge me. |
| 41 | 17:42 Thei crieden, and noon was that maad hem saaf; `thei crieden to the Lord, and he herde not hem. |
| 42 | 17:43 And Y schal al to-breke hem, as dust bifor the face of wynd; Y schal do hem awei, as the cley of stretis. |
| 43 | 17:44 Thou schalt delyuere me fro ayenseiyngis of the puple; thou schalt sette me in to the heed of folkis. |
| 44 | 17:45 The puple, which Y knewe not, seruede me; in the herynge of eere it obeiede to me. |
| 45 | 17:46 Alien sones lieden to me, alien sones wexiden elde; and crokiden fro thi pathis. |
| 46 | 17:47 The Lord lyueth, and my God be blessid; and the God of myn helthe be enhaunsid. |
| 47 | 17:48 God, that yauest veniaunces to me, and makist suget puplis vndur me; my delyuerere fro my wrathful enemyes. |
| 48 | 17:49 And thou schalt enhaunse me fro hem, that risen ayens me; thou schalt delyuere me fro a wickid man. |
| 49 | 17:50 Therfor, Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee among naciouns; and Y schal seie salm to thi name. |
| 50 | 17:51 Magnyfiynge the helthis of his kyng; and doynge merci to his crist Dauid, and to his seed til in to the world. |
