PSALM CXXXVII. [The salm `to hym [of H.] Dauid.]
[verse 1] I shal knoulechen to thee, Lord, in al myn herte; for thou hast herd the [alle the C pr. m.] woordis of my mouth. In the siȝte of [verse 2] aungelis I shal don salm to thee, my God; I shal honoure at [in A.] thin holy temple, and knouleche to thi name [holy name E pr. m.] . Vp on thi mercy and thi treuthe; for thou hast magnefied thi seynt ouer alle name. [verse 3] In what euere day I shal inwardli clepe thee, ful out here me; thou shalt multeplie in my soule vertue. [verse 4] Knouleche to thee, Lord, alle the kingis of erthe; for thei han herd alle the woordys of thi mouth. [verse 5] And singe thei in the weyes of the Lord; for gret is the glorie of the Lord. [verse 6] For heiȝ the Lord, and meke thingis he beholdeth; and heȝe thingis fro a ferr he knowith. [verse 7] If I shul go in the myddel of tribulacioun, thou shalt quikene me; and vp on the wrathe of myn enemys thou hast straȝt out thin hond, and saf made me thi ryȝt hond. [verse 8] The Lord shal ȝelde for me, Lord, thi mercy in to the world; the werkis of thin hondis ne despise thou.
