Lord, here thou my riȝtfulnesse; biholde thou my preier. Perseuye [Parceyue I.] thou with eeris my preier; not maad [maad to me I.] in gileful lippis. [verse 2] Mi doom come [cometh CKM. come it I.] `forth of [bifore I.] thi cheer; thin iȝen se [see thei K.] equite. [verse 3] Thou hast preued myn herte, and [and thou I.] hast visitid [visited it I.] in niȝt; thou hast
examynyd [assaied I.] me [it I.] bi fier, and wickidnesse is not foundun in me. [verse 4] That my mouth speke not the werkis of men; for the wordis of thi lippis Y haue kept harde weies. [verse 5] Make thou perfit my goyngis in thi pathis; that my steppis be not moued. [verse 6] I criede, for thou, God, herdist [hast herd I.] me; bowe doun thin eere to me, and here thou my [verse 7] wordis. Make wondurful thi mercies; that makist saaf `men hopynge [hem that hopen I.] in thee. [verse 8] Kepe thou me as the appil of the [thin I.] iȝe; fro [and fro I.] `men aȝenstondynge [hem that aȝen|stonden I.] thi riȝt hond. Keuere [Hile I.] thou [verse 9] me vndur the schadewe of thi wyngis; fro the face of vnpitouse men, that han tur|mentid me. Myn enemyes han cumpassid [verse 10] my soule; thei han closide togidere her fat|nesse; the [and the I.] mouth of hem spak pride. [verse 11] Thei castiden [han cast I.] me forth [out I.] , and han cumpassid me now; thei [and thei I.] ordeyneden [han ordeyned I.] to bowe doun her iȝen in to erthe. [verse 12] Thei, as a lioun maad redi to prey [his prey I.] , han take me; and as the whelp of a lioun dwellynge in hid places. [verse 13] Lord, rise thou vp, bifor come thou hym [Om. I.] , and disseyue [ouerturne I.] thou hym; de|lyuere thou my lijf fro the `vnpitouse, [verse 14] delyuere [vnpitouse man, and delyuere I. vnpitouse man; delyuer S.] thou thi [the I.] swerd fro the ene|myes of thin hond. Lord, departe thou hem fro a fewe men [feithful men I.] of `the lond [erthe I.] in the lijf of hem; her wombe is fillid of thin hid thingis. Thei ben fillid [fulfillid I.] with sones; and thei leften [han left I.] her relifis [relifs ether residue V.] to her litle children. [verse 15] But Y in riȝtfulnesse schal ap|pere to thi siȝt; Y schal be fillid, whanne thi glorie schal appere.
