PSALM CIV. [Alleluia, Alleluia.]

[verse 1] Knoulecheth to the Lord, and inwardly clepeth his name; telleth out among Jen|tilis his werkis. [verse 2] Singeth to hym, and doth salm to hym, and tellith alle his [verse 3] merueilis; be ȝee preisid in his holi name. Glade the herte of ȝou sechende [verse 4] the Lord; secheth the Lord, and beth confermed; secheth his face euermor.

[verse 18] Thei mekeden in stockis his feet, iren passide thurȝ hys [verse 19] lif; to the time that his woord shulde come.

[verse 28] He sente dercnessis, and made derc; and vntymely he fullfilde not his woordis. [verse 29] And he turnede the watris of hem in to blod; and sloȝ the fisshis of hem. [verse 30] And the lond of hem ȝaf froggis; in the preue chaumbris of ther kingus. [verse 31] He seide, and ther cam an hound fleeȝe; and gnattis in alle the coostis of hem. [verse 32] And he putte the reynes of hem hayl; fyr brennende in the lond of hem. [verse 33] And he smot the vynes of hem, and the fige placis of hem; and he to-broside the wode of the coostis of hem.
