Lord, thou hast knowe alle thingis, the laste thingis and elde; thou hast formed me, and hast set thin hond on me. ⁶ Thi kunnyng is maad wondirful of me; it is coumfortid, and Y schal not mowe to it. ⁷ Whidir schal Y go fro thi spirit; and whider schal Y fle fro thi face? ⁸ If Y schal stie in to heuene, thou art there; if Y schal go doun to helle, thou art present. ⁹ If Y schal take my fetheris ful eerli; and schal dwelle in the last partis of the see. ¹⁰ And sotheli thider thin hond schal leede me forth; and thi riyt hond schal holde me. ¹¹ And Y seide, In hap derknessis schulen defoule me; and the nyyt is my liytnyng in my delicis. ¹² For whi derknessis schulen not be maad derk fro thee, aud the niyt schal be liytned as the dai; as the derknessis therof, so and the liyt therof. ¹³ For thou haddist in possessioun my reines; thou tokist me vp fro the wombe of my modir. ¹⁴ I schal knouleche to thee, for thou art magnefied dreedfuli; thi werkis ben wondirful, and my soule schal knouleche ful miche. ¹⁵ Mi boon, which thou madist in priuete, is not hyd fro thee; and my substaunce in the lower partis of erthe. ¹⁶ Thin iyen sien myn vnperfit thing, and alle men schulen be writun in thi book; daies schulen be formed, and no man is in tho. ¹⁷ Forsothe, God, thi frendis ben maad onourable ful myche to me; the princeheed of hem is coumfortid ful myche. ¹⁸ I schal noumbre hem, and thei schulen be multiplied aboue grauel; Y roos vp, and yit Y am with thee. ¹⁹ For thou, God, schalt slee synneris; ye menquelleris, bowe awei fro me. ²⁰ For ye seien in thouyt; Take thei her citees in vanite. ²¹ Lord, whether Y hatide not hem that hatiden thee; and Y failide on thin enemyes? ²² Bi perfite haterede Y hatide hem; thei weren maad enemyes to me. ²³ God, preue thou me, and knowe thou myn herte; axe thou me, and knowe thou my pathis. ²⁴ And se thou, if weie of wickidnesse is in me; and lede thou me forth in euerlastinge wei. ¹³⁹ ¹ The `title of the hundrid and nyne and thrittithe `salm. To victorie, the salm of Dauith. ² Lord, delyuere thou me fro an yuel man; delyuere thou me fro a wickid man. ³ Whiche thouyten wickidnesses in the herte; al dai thei ordeyneden batels. ⁴ Thei scharpiden her tungis as serpentis; the venym of snakis vndir the lippis of hem. ⁵ Lord, kepe thou me fro the hond of the synnere; and delyuere thou me fro wickid men. Which thouyten to disseyue my goyngis; ⁶ proude men hidden a snare to me.

Lord, Y criede to thee, here thou me; yyue thou tent to my vois, whanne Y schal crye to thee. ² Mi preier be dressid as encense in thi siyt; the reisyng of myn hondis be as the euentid sacrifice. ³ Lord, sette thou a keping to my mouth; and a dore of stonding aboute to my lippis. ⁴ Bowe thou not myn herte in to wordis of malice; to excuse excusingis in synne. With men worchinge wickidnesse; and Y schal not comyne with the chosun men of hem. ⁵ A iust man schal repreue me in mersi, and schal blame me; but the oile of a synner make not fat myn heed. For whi and yit my preier is in the wel plesaunt thingis of hem; ⁶ for the domesmen of hem ioyned to the stoon weren sopun vp. Here thei my wordis, ⁷ for tho weren myyti. As fatnesse is brokun out on the erthe; oure bonys ben scatered niy helle. Lord, Lord, ⁸ for myn iyen ben to thee, Y hopide in thee; take thou not awei my soule. ⁹ Kepe thou me fro the snare which thei ordeyneden to me; and fro the sclaundris of hem that worchen wickidnesse.

In this weie in which Y yede; proude men hidden a snare to me. ⁵ I bihelde to the riyt side, and Y siy; and noon was that knew me. Fliyt perischide fro me; and noon is that sekith my soule. ⁶ Lord, Y criede to thee, Y seide, Thou art myn hope; my part in the lond of lyueris. ⁷ Yyue thou tent to my biseching; for Y am maad low ful greetli.
