The `title of the sixte and seuentithe salm. `To the ouercomere on Yditum, `the salm of Asaph.
2
With my vois Y criede to the Lord; with my vois to God, and he yaf tent to me.
3
In the dai of my tribulacioun Y souyte God with myn hondis; in the nyyt `to fore hym, and Y am not disseyued. Mi soule forsook to be coumfortid;
4
Y was myndeful of God, and Y delitide, and Y was exercisid; and my spirit failide.
5
Myn iyen bifore took wakyngis; Y was disturblid, and Y spak not.
6
I thouyte elde daies; and Y hadde in mynde euerlastinge yeeris.
7
And Y thouyte in the nyyt with myn herte; and Y was exercisid, and Y clensid my spirit.
8
Whether God schal caste awei with outen ende; ether schal he not lei to, that he be more plesid yit?
9
Ethir schal he kitte awei his merci into the ende; fro generacioun in to generacioun?
10
Ethir schal God foryete to do mercy; ethir schal he withholde his mercies in his ire?
11
And Y seide, Now Y bigan; this is the chaunging of the riythond of `the hiye God.
12
I hadde mynde on the werkis of the Lord; for Y schal haue mynde fro the bigynnyng of thi merueilis.
13
And Y schal thenke in alle thi werkis; and Y schal be occupied in thi fyndyngis.
14
God, thi weie was in the hooli; what God is greet as oure God?
15
thou art God, that doist merueilis. Thou madist thi vertu knowun among puplis;
16
thou ayenbouytist in thi arm thi puple, the sones of Jacob and of Joseph.
17
God, watris sien thee, watris sien thee, and dredden; and depthis of watris weren disturblid.
18
The multitude of the soun of watris; cloudis yauen vois.
19
For whi thin arewis passen; the vois of thi thundir was in a wheel. Thi liytnyngis schyneden to the world; the erthe was moued, and tremblid.
20
Thi weie in the see, and thi pathis in many watris; and thi steppis schulen not be knowun.
21
Thou leddist forth thi puple as scheep; in the hond of Moyses and of Aaron.
