1 The title of the twelfthe salm. To the victorie of Dauid.Lord, hou long foryetist thou me in to the ende? hou long turnest thou awei thi face fro me?
2 Hou long schal Y sette counsels in my soule; sorewe in my herte bi dai?
3 Hou long schal myn enemy be reisid on me?
4 My Lord God, biholde thou, and here thou me. Liytne thou myn iyen, lest ony tyme Y slepe in deth;
5 lest ony tyme myn enemye seie, Y hadde the maistri ayens hym. Thei, that troblen me, schulen haue ioie, if Y schal be stirid; forsothe Y hopide in thi merci.
6 Myn herte schal fulli haue ioie in thin helthe; Y schal synge to the Lord, that yyueth goodis to me, and Y schal seie salm to the name of the hiyeste Lord.
