PSALM CVI. [Alleluia, Alleluia.]

[verse 1] Knoulecheth to the Lord, for good; for in to the world his mercy. [verse 2] Sei thei now, that ben aȝeen boȝt of the Lord, whom he aȝeen boȝte fro the hond of the enemy; fro regiouns he gederide hem. [verse 3] Fro the sunne rising, and the going doun; fro the north, and the se. [verse 4] Thei erreden in wildernesse, in vnwatri place; weie of dwelling place of a cite thei founde not. [verse 5] Hungrende and thirstende; the soule of hem in hem failide. [verse 6] And thei crieden to the Lord, whan thei weren

trublid; and fro the nedis of hem he toc hem out. [verse 7] And he broȝte hem thennus in to a riȝt weye; that thei shulde go in to the cite of wonyng. [verse 8] Knouleche to the Lord his mercies; and the merueilis of hym to the sones of men. [verse 9] For he fulfilde the idil soule; and the hungri soule he fulfilde with goodis. [verse 10] The sitteris in dercnessis, and in the [Om. AH.] vmbre of deth; and the bounden in beggeri and iren. [verse 11] For thei maden egre the spechis of God; and the counseil of the heȝest thei ter|reden. [verse 12] And mekid is in trauailes the herte of hem, and thei ben feblid; and ther was not that wolde helpe. [verse 13] And thei crieden to the Lord, whan thei weren trublid; and fro the nedis of hem he deliuerede hem. [verse 14] And he ladde hem out fro dercnessis, and the shadewe of deth; and the bondis of hem he to-brac. [verse 15] Knouleche [Knowlechith A.] to the Lord his mercies; and his merueilis to the sones of men. [verse 16] For he to-broside the irene ȝatis; and the irene barris he to-brac. [verse 17] He toc hem fro the weie of wickidnesse of hem; for [fro A.] ther vnriȝtwisnesses forsothe thei ben mekid. [verse 18] Alle mete the soule of hem wlatide; and they neȝheden to the ȝatis of deth. [verse 19] And thei crieden to the Lord, whan thei weren trublid; and fro the nedis of hem he delyuerede hem. [verse 20] He sente his woord, and helide hem; and deliuerede hem fro the dethis of hem. [verse 21] Knouleche to the Lord his mercies; and his merueilis to the sonus of men. [verse 22] And sacrifise thei a sacrifise of preising; and telle thei out his werkis in ful out ioȝing. [verse 23] That gon doun the se in shipis; doende werching in many watris. [verse 24] Thei seȝen the werkis of the Lord; and his mer|ueilis in depthe. [verse 25] He seide, and the spirit of tempest stod; and his flowingus ben enhauncid. [verse 26] Thei steȝen vp `vn to [in to AH.] heuenes, and gon doun `vn to [in to AH.] depnessis; and the soulis of hem in euelis failede. [verse 27] Thei ben

disturbid, and ben moued as a drunke man; and al the wisdam of hem is de|uourid. [verse 28] And thei crieden to the Lord, whan thei weren trublid; and of the nedis of hem he broȝte hem out. [verse 29] And he ordeynede his tempest in to fair [a fayre AH.] weder; and his flodis weren stille. [verse 30] And thei gladeden, for thei were stille; and he broȝte hem out in to the hauene of the wil of hem. [verse 31] Knouleche to the Lord his mercies; and his merueilis to the sonus of men. [verse 32] And enhaunce thei hym in the chirche of folc; and in the chaȝer of elderis preise thei hym. [verse 33] He sette the flodis of hem in to desert; and the [in the AH.] issue of watris in to thirst. [verse 34] The fructuous erthe in to briyn [salt making E pr. m.] ; fro the malice of men dwellende in it. [verse 35] He putte desert in to pondis [stremes E pr. m.] of watris; and the erthe withoute water in to the [Om. AEH.] issues of watris. [verse 36] And he sette there the hungry men; and thei ordeyneden a cite of wonyng. [verse 37] And thei seewen [soweden AEH.] feeldis, and plaunteden vines; and maden the frut off birthe. [verse 38] And he blisside to hem, and thei ben multiplied ful myche; and the bestis of hem he lasside not. [verse 39] And fewe thei ben maad, and ben ouertrauailid; fro tribulacioun of euelis and sorewe. [verse 40] Held out is strif vp on the princis; and to erren he made hem in withoute weye, and not in the weie. [verse 41] And he halp [helpede AEH.] the pore man fro myseise; and putte as shep meynes. [verse 42] Riȝt [Ȝit AH.] men shul seen, and gladen; and alle wickidnesse shal stoppe ther mouth. [verse 43] Who wis man, and shal kepe thes thingus; and shal vnderstonde the mer|cies of the Lord?
