[Prologue on the book of Psalms [This prologue is from M.] .]

THIS book Sauter is clepid, that is to seie, the book of songis of Dauith, and of Asaph, the chauntour of the temple of the Lord; wherynne is conteyned profesie of the comynge of Crist, of his birthe, and of his power and teching; of his passioun and his rising aȝen fro deeth, and of his ascencioun and of his comynge aȝen in the laste doom; whiche songis ben red in holi cherche in to wurschiping and preising of the Lord, knoulechinge his heiȝ maieste, and hise grete werkis; and that he do merci to vs, whanne we trespasen aȝens him, brekinge hise comaundementis, that we perische not for oure synnes.

[Here bigynneth the Sauter, which is red comynly in chirchis [From ALOP. Here bigynneth first salm of the Sauter. M. Here biginneth the Sauter, the which ys red comunly in the chirche. S. Here bygynnyth the Psalmes of Dauith, that is clepid the Sauter. k. No initial rubric in the other Mss.] .] PSALM I. [The firste salm [Psalmus i. O. The psalm of David. V. Om. IMRS.] .]

[verse 1] Blessid is the man, that ȝede [gooth S.] not in the councel of wickid men; and stood not in the weie of synneris, and sat not in the chaier of pestilence. [verse 2] But his wille is in the lawe of the Lord; and he schal bi|thenke in the lawe of hym dai and nyȝt. [verse 3] And he schal be [be maad K sec. m.] as a tree, which [that I.] is plauntid bisidis the rennyngis of watris; which [the which I. that KS.] tre [Om IS.] schal ȝyue his fruyt in his tyme. And his leef schal not falle doun; and alle thingis which euere he schal do schulen haue prosperite. [verse 4] Not so wickid men, not so; but thei ben as dust, which the [Om. K.] wynd castith awei fro the face of erthe [the erthe CISik] . [verse 5] Therfor wickid men risen not aȝen in doom [doom, that is, to ther saluacion, but more to ther dampnacion K text. that is, to han saluacioun, but to dampna|cioun more V marg.] ; nethir synneres in the councel of iust men. [verse 6] For the Lord knowith [hath knowe I.] the weie of iust men; and the weie of wickid men schal perische.

PSALM II. [The secounde salm [Om. IK.] [A glos. The secounde salm, that hath no title in Ebreu, and in Jeromes translacioun, was maad of Dauith, as the postlis wit|nessen in iiij. chapitre of De|dis. C et alii. This secunde psalm is vndir|stondun of Crist, God and man. V.] .]

[verse 1] Whi gnastiden with teeth hethene men; and puplis thouȝten veyn thingis? [verse 2] The kyngis of erthe stoden togidere; and princes camen togidere aȝens the Lord, and aȝens his Crist? [verse 3] Breke we the bondis of hem; and cast we awei the ȝok of hem fro vs. [verse 4] He that dwellith in heuenes schal scorne hem; and the Lord schal bimowe hem. [verse 5] Thanne he schal speke to hem in his ire [wraththe I.] ; and he schal disturble hem in his stronge veniaunce. [verse 6] Forsothe [Sothely I.] Y am maad [ordeyned I.] of hym a kyng on [up on I.] Syon, his hooli hil; prechynge his comaundement.

[verse 7] The Lord seide to me, Thou art my sone; Y haue gendrid [goten I.] thee to dai. [verse 8] Axe thou of me, and Y schal ȝyue to thee hethene men thin [to thin S.] eritage; and thi possessioun the termes of erthe. [verse 9] Thou schalt gouerne hem in an yrun ȝerde; and thou schalt breke hem [hem to gidere I.] as the vessel of a pottere. [verse 10] And now, ȝe kyngis, vndurstonde; ȝe that demen the erthe, be [be ȝe IK.] lerud [lerned D et alii.] . [verse 11] Serue ȝe the Lord with [in I.] drede; and make ȝe ful [ful out K sec. m.] ioye to hym with tremblyng. [verse 12] Take ȝe lore [lore of chastisyng I.] ; lest the Lord be wrooth [wraththid I.] sumtyme, and lest [Om. I.] ȝe perischen fro iust [the iust I.] waie. [verse 13] Whanne his `ire brenneth [wraththe shal brenne I.] out in schort tyme; blessed ben alle thei, that tristen in hym.

PSALM III. [The title of the thridde salm. [verse 1] The salm [Om. I.] of Dauid, whanne he fledde fro the face of Absolon, his sone.]

[verse 2] Lord, whi ben thei multiplied that dis|turblen [verse 3] me? many men rysen aȝens me. Many men seien of [to I.] my soule, Noon helthe is [ther is I.] to hym in his God. [verse 4] But thou, Lord, art myn vptakere; my glorye, and en|haunsyng myn heed. [verse 5] With my vois Y criede to the Lord; and he herde me fro his hooli hil. [verse 6] I slepte, and `was quenchid [restide I.] , and Y roos vp; for the Lord resseyuede me. [verse 7] I schal not drede thousyndis of puple cumpassynge me; Lord, rise [arijse I.] thou vp [Om.

[verse 9] Helthe is of the Lord; and thi blessyng, Lord [Om. I.] , is on thi puple.

PSALM IV. [ [verse 1] The title of the fourthe salm. `To the vic|torie in orguns [the ouercomere in salmes V.] ; the salm of Dauid [A glos.

C et alii.] .]

[verse 2] Whanne Y inwardli clepid [clepid, that is, preiede V.] , God of my riȝtwisnesse [riȝtfulnesse ceteri.] herde [full out herde I.] me; in tribulacioun

thou hast alargid to me. [verse 3] Haue thou mercy on me; and here [full out here I.] thou my preier. Sones of men, hou long ben ȝe of heuy herte? whi louen ȝe vanite, and seken [seken ȝe S.] a [Om.

Da|uith made the fyuethe salm, for prestis and dekenes schul|den synge it, to gete Goddis help aȝenus enemyes of Goddis puple; and that God schulde de|fende his puple. C et alii.] .]

[verse 2] Lord, perseyue thou my wordis with eeris; vndurstonde [and vnderstonde I.] thou my cry. [verse 3] Mi kyng, and my God; ȝyue thou tent to the vois of my preier. [verse 4] For, Lord, Y schal preie to thee; here thou eerly my vois. [verse 5] Eerli Y schal stonde nyȝ thee [to thee I.] , and Y schal se; for thou art God not willynge [wilnynge IS.] wickidnesse. [verse 6] Nethir an yuel willid man schal dwelle bisidis thee; nethir vniust men schulen dwelle bifor thin iȝen. [verse 7] Thou hatist alle [alle hem I.] that worchen wickidnesse; thou schalt leese [leese hem I.] alle that speken leesyng. The Lord schal holde abhomynable a manquellere, and gileful [a gileful IK.] man. [verse 8] But [But I schal be IKOS.] , Lord [Om.

[verse 9] Lord, lede thou forth me in thi riȝtful|nesse [riȝtwisnesse I.] for myn enemyes; dresse thou my weie in thi siȝt. [verse 10] For whi [Om. I.] treuthe is not

in her mouth; her herte is veyn. [verse 11] Her throte [herte I.] is an opyn sepulcre, thei diden gilefuli with [in I.] her tungis; God, deme thou hem. Falle thei doun fro her thouȝtis, vp [vpe C. after I.] the multitude of her wickidnessis [vnpiteuousnessis I.] caste thou hem doun; for, Lord, thei han terrid thee to ire [wraththe IKS.] . And alle that hopen in thee, be [be thei I.] glad; thei schulen make fulli [ful out S.] ioye with outen ende, and thou schalt dwelle in hem.

A et alii.] .]

[verse 2] Lord, repreue thou not me in thi stronge veniaunce; nether chastice thou me in thin ire. [verse 3] Lord, haue thou merci on [of I.] me, for Y am sijk; Lord, make thou me hool, for alle my boonys ben troblid. [verse 4] And my soule is troblid greetli; but thou, Lord, hou long [long tariest I.] ? [verse 5] Lord, be thou conuertid [al to gidre turnid I.] , and delyuere my soule; make thou me saaf, for thi merci. [verse 6] For noon is [ther is I.] in deeth, which [that I.] is myndful of thee; but in helle who schal knouleche to thee? [verse 7] I traueilide in my weilyng, Y schal waische my bed [bed, or conscience I.] bi ech nyȝt; Y schal moiste, `ether make weet [Om. IV.] , my bedstre with my teeris. [verse 8] Myn iȝe is disturblid of woodnesse; Y waxe [haue wexe I. wexide K.] eld among alle myn enemyes. [verse 9] Alle ȝe that worchen wickidnesse, departe [departeth I. departe ȝe S.] fro me; for the Lord hath [hath graciously I.] herd the vois of my wepyng. [verse 10] The Lord hath herd my bi|sechyng; the Lord hath resseyued [vptaken I.] my preier [orisoun I.] .

That is, for the synne of the ignoraunce of Dauid, bi which he was occa|sioun of the deth of prestis slayn of Saul, and Doech, for the helpyng of Dauid. A et alii.] .]

[verse 2] Mi Lord God, Y haue hopid in thee; make thou me saaf fro [and fro I.] alle that pur|suen me, and [Om. I.] delyuere thou me. [verse 3] Lest ony tyme he as a lioun rauysche my soule; the [Om.

[verse 4] Mi Lord God, if Y dide [haue do I.] this thing [yuel I.] , if wickidnesse [wickidnesse, that is, wille to do wickidnesse K text.

[verse 7] Lord, rise thou vp in thin ire [wraththe I.] ; and be thou reysid [enhaunsid I.] in the coostis of myn enemyes. [verse 8] And, my Lord God, rise thou [thou up IKS.] in the co|maundement, which thou `hast comaund|id [comaundidist K.] ; and the synagoge of puplis schal cum|passe thee. [verse 9] And for this go thou aȝen [Om. C.] an hiȝ; the Lord demeth puplis. Lord, deme thou me bi [after I.] my riȝtfulnesse; and bi [aftir I.] myn innocence on [up on I.] me. [verse 10] The wickidnesse of synneris be endid; and thou, God, sekyng the hertis [hertis, that is, thouȝtis KV.] and [and the I.] reynes [reynes, that is, delitinges K.] , schalt dresse a iust man. [verse 11] Mi iust help is of the Lord; that makith saaf riȝtful men in herte. [verse 12] The Lord is a iust iuge, stronge and pacient; whether [wher ceteri passim.] he is [be I.] wrooth bi alle daies? [verse 13] If [But if I.] ȝe ben `not conuertid [alle to gidre turnid I.] , he schal florische [make briȝt I. florische, that is, make redi to smyte K text. V marg.] his swerd; he hath bent his bouwe, and made it redi. [verse 14] And ther|ynne he hath maad redi the vessels of deth; he [and he I.] hath fulli maad his arewis with brennynge thingis. [verse 15] Lo! he [the wickid hath I.] conseyuede sorewe; he peynfuli brouȝte [hath brouȝt I.] forth vnriȝt|fulnesse, and childide [he hath childid I.] wickidnesse. [verse 16] He

A et alii.] .]

[verse 2] Lord, thou art oure Lord; thi name is ful [Om. K pr. m. L.] wonderful in al erthe. For thi greet doyng is reisid [reisid up I.] , aboue heuenes. [verse 3] Of the mouth of ȝonge children, not spekynge and soukynge mylk, thou madist [hast maad I.] per|fitli [perfijt I.] heriyng, for thin enemyes; that thou destrie the [an S.] enemy and avengere [the avengere I.] . [verse 4] For Y schal se thin heuenes, the werkis of thi fyngris; the moone and sterris [the sterris IS.] , whiche thou hast foundid. [verse 5] What is a man [man, that is, mankinde, in comparison of aungelis kinde K text. V marg.] , that thou art myndeful of hym; ethir the sone of a virgyn, for thou visitist hym? [verse 6] Thou hast maad hym a litil lesse than aungels; thou hast corouned hym with glorie and [verse 7] onour, and hast [thou hast I.] ordeyned hym aboue the werkis of thin hondis.

[verse 2] Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; Y schal telle alle thi merueils. [verse 3] Thou hiȝeste [higheste Lord I.] , Y schal be glad, and Y schal be fulli ioieful in thee; Y [and Y I.] schal synge to thi name. [verse 4] For thou turnest myn enemy abac; thei schulen be maad feble,

and [and thei I.] schulen perische fro thi face. [verse 5] For thou hast maad my doom and my cause; thou, that demest riȝtfulnesse, `hast set [sittist up I. sittist K.] on the [a I.] trone. [verse 6] Thou blamedist [hast blamid I.] hethene men, and the wickid [wickid man I.] perischide; thou hast do awei the name of hem in to the world, and in to the world of world [worldis S.] .

The mynde of hem perischide [perische A. hath perischid I.] with [verse 8] sown; and the Lord dwellith with outen ende. He made [hath made I.] redi his trone in doom; [verse 9] and he schal deme the world in equite, he schal deme puplis in riȝtfulnesse. [verse 10] And the Lord is maad refuyt [the refuyt I.] , `ether help [Om. I.] , `to a [of the I.] pore man; an [and his I.] helpere in couenable tymes in tribulacioun. [verse 11] And thei, that knowen thi name, haue [haue thei IK.] hope in thee; for thou, Lord, hast not forsake hem that seken thee. [verse 12] Synge ȝe to the Lord, that dwellith in Syon; telle [and telle I.] ȝe hise studyes [studies, that is, the gospel K.] among hethene men. [verse 13] God forȝetith not the cry of pore men; for he hath mynde [mynde of hem I.] , and [and he I.] sekith the blood of hem. [verse 14] Lord, haue thou merci on [of I.] me; se [and se I.] thou my mekenesse of myn enemyes. [verse 15] Which enhaunsist me fro the ȝatis of deeth; that Y telle alle thi preisyngis in the ȝatis of the douȝter of Syon. [verse 16] Y schal `be fulli ioyeful [ioye fully I.] in thin helthe; hethene men ben fast set in the perisching, which [that I.] thei maden [han maad to oothere men I.] . In this snare, which thei hidden [han hid I.] , the foot of hem is kauȝt. [verse 17] The Lord makynge domes schal be knowun; the synnere is takun in the werkis of hise hondis.

[verse 1] Lord, whi hast thou go fer awei? thou dispisist [dispisist vs I.] `in couenable [couenably R.] tymes [tyme A.] in tribula|cioun. [verse 2] While the wickid [wickid man I.] is [wexith I.] proud, the pore man is brent; thei ben taken in the counsels [nickide counsels I.] , bi [Om. I.] whiche thei thenken. [verse 3] For|whi the synnere is preisid in the desiris of his soule; and the wickid is blessid. [verse 4] The synnere `wraththide the Lord [hath terrid the Lord to wraththe I.] ; vp [aftir I. on S.] the multitude of his ire [wraththe I.] he schal not seke. [verse 5] God is not in his siȝt; hise weies ben de|foulid in al tyme. God [Om. I.] , thi domes ben takun awei fro his face; he schal be lord of alle hise enemyes. [verse 6] For [Forsothe I.] he seide in his herte, Y schal not be moued, fro genera|cioun in to generacioun without yuel. [verse 7] `Whos mouth [The mouth of whom I.] is ful of cursyng, and of bitternesse, and of gyle; trauel [and trauel I.] and so|rewe is vndur his tunge. [verse 8] He sittith in aspies with ryche men in priuytees; to sle the innocent man.

He settith aspies, for to rauysche a [the I.] pore man; for to rauysche a pore man, while he drawith the [a I.] pore man [man to him I.] . [verse 10] In his snare he schal make [Om.

[verse 11] For [Forsothe I.] he seide in his herte, God hath forȝete [forȝete the pore man, and I.] ; he hath turned awei his face, that he se [se him I.] not in to the ende. [verse 12] Lord God, rise thou vp, and thin hond be enhaunsid; forȝete thou not pore men. [verse 13] For what thing terride [hath terrid I.] the wickid [vnpitous I.] man God to wraththe? for he seide in his herte, God schal not [not aȝen I.] seke. [verse 14] Thou seest, for thou biholdist trauel and sorewe; that thou take hem in to thin hondis. The pore man is left to thee; thou schalt be an helpere to the fadirles and modirles [moderles child S.] . [verse 15] Al to-breke thou the arme of the synnere, and yuel willid; his synne schal be souȝt, and it schal not be foundun. [verse 16] The Lord schal regne with outen ende, and in to the world of world; folkis, ȝe

Lord, hou long forȝetist thou me in to the ende? hou long turnest thou [Om. I.] awei thi face fro me? [verse 2] Hou long schal Y sette counsels [counceil S.] in my soule; sorewe in my herte bi dai?

Liȝtne thou myn [verse 5] iȝen, lest ony tyme Y slepe in deth; lest ony tyme myn enemye seie, Y hadde the maistri aȝens hym. Thei, that troblen me, schulen haue ioie, if Y schal be stirid; forsothe [but I.] Y hopide in thi merci. [verse 6] Myn herte schal fulli haue ioie in thin helthe [helthe ȝiuere, Crist I.] ; Y schal synge to the Lord, that ȝyueth goodis to me, and Y schal seie salm [a salm S.] to the name of the hiȝeste Lord.

PSALM XIII. [The `title of [Om. S.] the [Om. QRS.] threttenthe salm. [verse 1] To the victorie of Dauid.]

The vnwise man seide in his herte, God is not. Thei ben corrupt, and [and thei I.] ben maad abhomynable in her studies; noon is [ther is I.] that doith good, noon is til to oon. [verse 2] The Lord bihelde fro heuene on the sones of men; that he se, if ony [ony man S.] is [ther is I.] vndurstondynge, ethir sekynge [aȝen sekynge I.] God. [verse 3] Alle bowiden awei, togi|dere thei ben maad vnprofitable; noon is

that doth good, noon is [ther is I.] `til to [unto I.] oon. The throte of hem is an open sepulcre, thei diden gilefuli with her tungis; the venym of snakis is vndur [vndirnethe S.] her lippis. Whos mouth is ful of cursyng and [and of I.] bittirnesse; her feet ben swift to schede out blood. Sorewe and cursidnesse is in the weies of hem, and thei knewen not the weie of pees; the drede of God is not bifor her iȝen. [verse 4] Whether alle men that worchen wickid|nesse schulen not knowe; that [whiche I.] deuowren my puple, as mete of breed? [verse 5] Thei cle|peden [in clepeden A sec. m. clepen O.] not the Lord; thei trembliden there [verse 6] for dreed, where was no drede; for the Lord is in a riȝtful generacioun. Thou hast schent [confoundid I.] the counsel of a [the I.] pore man; for the Lord is his hope. [verse 7] Who schal ȝyue fro Syon helthe to Israel? Whanne the Lord hath turned awei the caitifte of his puple; Jacob schal `fulli be ioiful [ful out ioye I. fulli ioie K.] , and Israel schal be glad.

PSALM XIV. [The title of the [Om. Q.] fourtenthe salm. The salm of Dauid]

[verse 1] Lord, who schal dwelle in thi taber|nacle; ether who schal reste in thin hooli hil? [verse 2] He that entrith with out wem; and worchith riȝtfulnesse. [verse 3] Which [He that I.] spekith treuthe in his herte; which dide not gile in his tunge. Nethir [Ne I.] dide yuel to his neiȝbore; and took not schenschip [schenschipis D. repreef I.] aȝens [to V.] hise neiȝboris [neȝebore X.] . [verse 4] A wickid man is brouȝt to nouȝt in his siȝt; but he glorifieth hem that dreden the Lord. Which [He that I.] swerith to [verse 5] his neiȝbore, and disseyueth not [him not I.] ; which [the which I.] ȝaf not his money to vsure; and took not ȝiftis on [upon I.] the innocent. He, that doith these thingis, schal not be moued with outen ende.

[verse 1] Lord, kepe [to gidre kepe I.] thou me, for Y haue hopid [verse 2] in thee; Y seide to the Lord, Thou art my God, for thou hast no nede of my goodis. [verse 3] To the seyntis that ben in the lond of hym; he [he hath I.] made wondurful alle my willis in hem. [verse 4] The sikenessis of hem ben multiplied; aftirward [and aftirward I.] thei hastiden. I schal not gadire togidere the [Om. I.] conuen|ticulis, `ethir litle [or smale I.] couentis, of hem of bloodis; and Y schal not be myndeful of her names bi my lippis. [verse 5] The Lord is part of myn eritage, and of my passion; thou art [it art I.] , that schalt restore myn eritage to me. [verse 6] Coordis felden to me in ful clere thingis; for [forsothe I.] myn eritage is ful cleer to me. [verse 7] I schal blesse the Lord, that ȝaf [hath ȝouen I.] vndur|stondyng to me; ferthermore and my reynes blameden [han blamyd I.] me `til to [unto the I.] nyȝt. [verse 8] I pur|ueide [sawȝe bifore I.] euere the Lord in my siȝt; for he is on [at I.] the riȝthalf to me, that Y be not moued. [verse 9] For this thing [thing, that is, for my rising aȝen K text V marg.] myn herte was glad, and my tunge ioyede fulli; ferther|more and my fleisch schal reste in hope. [verse 10] For thou schalt not forsake [leue I.] my soule in helle; nether thou schalt ȝyue thin hooli to se corrupcioun. Thou hast maad knowun to me the weies of lijf; thou schalt fille [fulfille I.] me of [with S.] gladnesse with thi cheer; delit|yngis ben in thi riȝthalf `til in to [unto I. til to K.] the ende [eende, ether til to withouten eende K.] .

PSALM XVI. [The title of [on R.] the [Om. L.] sixtenthe salm. [verse 1] The [Om. R.] preier of Dauid.]

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 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.

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.

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 4] I schal preise, and yn|wardli clepe the Lord; and Y schal be saaf fro myn enemyes. [verse 5] The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the strondis of wick|idnesse disturbliden [han disturblid I.] me. [verse 6] The sorewis of helle cumpassiden [han cumpassid I.] me; the snaris of deeth `bifor ocupieden [han bifor ocupied I.] me. [verse 7] In my tribulacioun Y [Y haue I.] inwardli clepide the Lord; and Y criede to my God. And he herde my vois fro his hooli temple; and my cry in his siȝt entride in to hise eeris. [verse 8] The erthe was mouede togidere, and tremblede togidere [gretly I.] ; the foundementis of hillis weren troblid togi|dere, and weren [Om.

[verse 10] He bowide doun heuenes, and cam doun; and derknesse was vndur hise feet. [verse 11] And he stiede on cherubym, and flei [he flei I.] ; he fley ouer the pennes of wyndis.

[verse 50] Therfor, Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee among naciouns; and Y schal seie salm to thi name.

[verse 2] Lord, the kyng schal be glad in thi vertu; and he schal ful out haue [Om. I.] ioye greetli on [of I.] thin helthe. [verse 3] Thou hast ȝoue to hym the desire of his herte; and thou hast not defraudid [bigilid I.] hym of the [thin S.] wille of hise lippis. [verse 4] For thou hast [Om.

[verse 10] Thou schalt putte hem as a furneis of fier in the tyme of thi cheer; the Lord schal dis|turble hem in his ire, and fier schal de|uoure hem. [verse 11] Thou schalt leese the fruyt of hem fro erthe [the erthe I.] ; and `thou schalt leese [Om. V.] the seed of hem fro the sones of men.

[verse 6] Thei crieden to thee, and thei weren maad saaf; thei hopiden in thee, and thei weren not schent. [verse 7] But Y am a worm, and not man [a man I.] ; the schen|schip of men, and the outcastyng of the puple. [verse 8] Alle men seynge me scorneden me; thei spaken with lippis, and stiriden [waggiden I.] the heed [heed, and seiden I.] . [verse 9] He hopide in the Lord, dely|uere he hym; make he hym saaf, for he wole hym. [verse 10] For thou it art that drowist me out of the wombe, thou art myn hope [verse 11] fro the tetis of my modir; in to thee Y am cast forth fro the wombe. Fro the wombe of my modir thou art my God; departe thou not fro me. [verse 12] For tribulacioun is next; for noon is [ther is I.] that helpith. [verse 13] Many calues cumpassiden me; fatte bolis bi|segiden me. [verse 14] Thei openyden her mouth on me; as doith [Om. I.] a lioun rauyschynge and rorynge. [verse 15] I am sched [held I.] out as watir; and alle my boonys ben scaterid [scaterid abrood I.] . Myn herte is maad, as wex fletynge abrood; in the myddis of my wombe. [verse 16] Mi vertu driede as a tiyl stoon, and my tunge cleuede to my chekis; and thou hast brouȝt forth me in to the dust of deth. [verse 17] For many doggis cumpassiden me; the counsel of wickid men bisegide me. Thei delueden myn [verse 18] hondis and my feet; thei noumbriden alle my boonys. Sotheli thei lokiden, and bi|helden [verse 19] me; thei departiden my clothis to hem silf, and thei senten lot on my cloth.

[verse 20] But thou, Lord, delaie not thin help fro me; biholde thou to my defence. [verse 21] God, delyuere thou my lijf fro swerd; and dely|uere thou myn oon aloone fro the hond [hond, or power I.] of the dogge. [verse 22] Make thou me saaf fro the mouth of a lioun; and my mekenesse fro the hornes of vnycornes. [verse 23] I schal telle thi name to my britheren; Y schal preise thee in the myddis of the chirche. [verse 24] Ȝe that dreden the Lord, herie [herie ȝe I.] hym; alle the seed [seed, that is, swers in feith and werk K text V marg.] of Jacob, glorifie ȝe [Om. S.] hym.

Nethir he turnede awei his face fro me; and whanne Y criede to hym, he herde me. [verse 26] Mi preisyng is at [anentis I.] thee in a greet chirche; Y schal ȝelde my vowis in the siȝt of men dredynge hym.

[verse 29] For the rewme is the Lordis; and he schal be Lord of hethene men. [verse 30] Alle the fatte men of erthe eeten and worschipiden; alle men, that goen doun in to erthe, schulen falle doun in his siȝt.

[verse 11] But the counsel of the Lord dwellith with outen ende; the thouȝtis of his herte dwellen in generacioun and into genera|cioun.

[verse 12] Blessid is the folk, whose Lord is his God; the puple which [that I.] he checs into eritage to hym silf. [verse 13] The Lord bihelde fro heuene; he siȝ alle the sones of men.

[verse 16] A kyng is not sauyd bi myche vertu [vertu, that is, strengthe K text V marg.] ; and a giaunt schal not be sauyd in the mychilnesse of his vertu. [verse 17] An hors is false to helthe; forsothe he schal not be sauyd in the [Om. C.] habundaunce, `ether plentee [Om. IR.] , of his vertu. [verse 18] Lo! the iȝen of the Lord ben on men dredynge hym; and in hem that hopen on [in S.] his merci. [verse 19] That he delyuere her soules fro deth; and feede hem in hungur.

Nile thou sue wickid men; nether loue thou men doynge wickidnesse. [verse 2] For thei schulen wexe drie swiftli as hey; and thei schulen falle doun soone as the wortis of eerbis. [verse 3] Hope thou in the Lord, and do thou goodnesse; and enhabite thou the lond, and thou schalt be fed with hise richessis.

[verse 23] The goyng of a man schal be dressid anentis the Lord; and he schal wilne his weie. [verse 24] Whanne he fallith, he schal not be hurtlid [hurlid I.] doun; for the Lord vndursettith [under puttith I.] his hond. [verse 25] I was ȝongere, and sotheli Y wexide eld, and Y siȝ not a iust man forsakun; nethir his seed sekynge breed. [verse 26] Al dai he hath merci, and leeneth; and his seed schal be in blessyng. [verse 27] Bouwe thou awei fro yuel, and do good; and dwelle thou in to the [Om. I.] world of world. [verse 28] For the Lord loueth doom, and schal [he wil I.] not forsake hise seyntis; thei schulen be kept with outen ende. Vniust men schulen be punyschid; and the seed of wickid men schal perische. [verse 29] But iust men schulen enerite the lond; and [and thei I.] schulen enabite theronne in to the world of world. [verse 30] The mouth of a iust man schal bithenke wisdom; and his tunge schal speke doom [riȝt doom I.] . [verse 31] The lawe of his God is in his herte; and hise steppis schulen not be disseyued. [verse 32] A synnere biholdith a iust man; and [and he I.] sekith to sle hym. [verse 33] But the Lord schal not forsake hym in hise hondis; nethir schal [he schal I.] dampne hym, whanne it schal be demed aȝens hym. [verse 34] Abide thou

the Lord, and kepe thou his weie, and he schal enhaunse thee, that bi eritage thou take the lond; whanne synneris schulen perische, thou schalt se. [verse 35] I siȝ a [the DEGIKLMPQbi. the a S.] wickid man enhaunsid aboue; and reisid vp as the cedris of Liban. [verse 36] And Y passide [passide aboue C.] , and lo! he was not; Y souȝte hym, and his place is [was I.] not foundun.

[verse 19] For Y schal telle my wickid|nesse; and Y schal thenke for my synne. [verse 20] But myn enemyes lyuen, and ben [thei ben I.] con|fermed [confortid EL.] on me; and thei ben multiplyed, that haten [hatiden K sec. m.] me wickidli. [verse 21] Thei that ȝelden yuels for goodis, backbitiden me; for Y suede goodnesse. [verse 22] My Lord God, forsake thou not me; go thou not awei fro me.
