9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
1The title of the sixtenthe salm. The preier of Dauid. Lord, here thou my riytfulnesse; biholde thou my preier. Perseuye thou with eeris my preier; not maad in gileful lippis.
2Mi doom come `forth of thi cheer; thin iyen se equite.
3Thou hast preued myn herte, and hast visitid in niyt; thou hast examynyd me bi fier, and wickidnesse is not foundun in me.
4That my mouth speke not the werkis of men; for the wordis of thi lippis Y haue kept harde weies.
5Make thou perfit my goyngis in thi pathis; that my steppis be not moued.
6I criede, for thou, God, herdist me; bowe doun thin eere to me, and here thou my wordis.
7Make wondurful thi mercies; that makist saaf `men hopynge in thee.
8Kepe thou me as the appil of the iye; fro `men ayenstondynge thi riyt hond. Keuere thou me vndur the schadewe of thi wyngis;
9fro the face of vnpitouse men, that han turmentid me. Myn enemyes han cumpassid my soule;
10thei han closide togidere her fatnesse; the mouth of hem spak pride.
11Thei castiden me forth, and han cumpassid me now; thei ordeyneden to bowe doun her iyen in to erthe.
12Thei, as a lioun maad redi to prey, han take me; and as the whelp of a lioun dwellynge in hid places.
13Lord, rise thou vp, bifor come thou hym, and disseyue thou hym; delyuere thou my lijf fro the `vnpitouse,
14delyuere thou thi swerd fro the enemyes of thin hond. Lord, departe thou hem fro a fewe men of `the lond in the lijf of hem; her wombe is fillid of thin hid thingis. Thei ben fillid with sones; and thei leften her relifis to her litle children.
15But Y in riytfulnesse schal appere to thi siyt; Y schal be fillid, whanne thi glorie schal appere.
