[verse 2] I shal looue thee, Lord, my strengthe; the Lord my fastnyng, and my refut,
and my delyuerere. [verse 3] My God, myn help|ere; I shal hope in to hym. My de|fendere, and the horn of myn helthe; and myn vndertakere. [verse 4] Preisende I shal in|wardly clepe the Lord; and fro myn enemys I shal be saf. [verse 5] The sorewis of deth enuyrounden me; and the stremes of wickidnesse togidere sturbiden me. [verse 6] The sorewis of helle wenten aboute me; befor ocupieden me the grenes of deth. [verse 7] In my tribulacioun I inwardly clepide the Lord; and to my God I criede. And he ful out herde fro his holi temple my vois; and my cry in his siȝte wente in to the eris of hym. [verse 8] Moued is togidere, and togidere tremblide the erthe; the founde|mens of mounteynes ben togidere sturbid, and togidere moued [ben moued E.] , for he wrathide to them. [verse 9] Ther steȝede vp smoke in his wrathe, and fyr fro his face ful out brente; and colis ben vndertend of hym. [verse 10] He ful bowide heuenes, and cam doun; and dercnesse [darknessis AH.] vnder his feet. [verse 11] And he steȝede vpon cherubyn, and fleiȝ; he fleiȝ on the pennes of windis. [verse 12] And he putte dercnesses his hiding place, in the cum|pas of hym his tabernacle; derk watir [watris A.] in [Om. A.] the cloudis of the eir. [verse 13] Fro the liȝting in the siȝte of hym cloudis passeden; hail and the colis of fyr. [verse 14] And in thun|drede fro heuene the Lord; and the heȝest ȝaf his vois, hail and colis of fyr. [verse 15] And he sente his arewis, and scaterede hem; leitis he multipliede, and togidere sturbide hem. [verse 16] And ther apereden the wellis of watris; and ben opened the foundemens of the roundnesse of erthis. Of thi blamyng, Lord; of the inbrething of the spirit of thi wrathe. [verse 17] He sente fro the heȝest, and toc me; and caȝte me fro many watris. [verse 18] He toc me out fro my most strong enemys; and fro hem that hatiden me, for thei ben coumfortid vpon me. [verse 19] Thei befor camyn me in the dai of my tormenting; and the Lord is maad my defendere. [verse 20] And he ladde out me in
to brodnesse; he made me saf, for he wolde [welde E.] me [Om. H.] . [verse 21] And the Lord shal ȝelde to me after my riȝtwisnesse; and after the clennesse of myn hondis he shall ȝelde to me. [verse 22] For I kepte the weies of the Lord; ne vnpitously I dide fro my God. [verse 23] For alle the domys of hym in my siȝte; and the riȝtwisnesses of hym I putte not fro me awey. [verse 24] And I shal ben vndefoulid with hym; and al abouten kepe me fro my wickidnesse. [verse 25] And the Lord shal ȝelde to me after my riȝtwisnesse; and after the clennesse of myn hondis in the siȝte of the eȝen of hym. [verse 26] With the holy, holy thou shalt be; and with the innocent man, an innocent thou shalt be. [verse 27] And with the chosen, chosen thou shalt be; and with the peruertid, thou shalt be per|uertid. [verse 28] For thou a meke puple shalt make saf; and the eȝen of proude men thou shalt lowen. [verse 29] For thou liȝtist my lanterne; Lord, my God, liȝte [liȝtne AEH.] my derc|nessis. [verse 30] For in thee I shal be pullid out fro temptacioun; and in my God I shal gon ouer the wal. [verse 31] My God, vndefoulid the weie of hym, the spechis of the Lord bi fyr examyned; the defendere he is of alle hoperis in hym. [verse 32] For who God but the Lord? or who God but oure God? [verse 33] God that befor girte [girde AH.] me with vertue; and sette my weye vndefoulid. [verse 34] That par|fitli made my feet as of hertes; and vp on heȝe thingus settende me. [verse 35] That techeth myn hondis to bataile; and thou [Om. A.] settist as a brasene bowe myn armys. [verse 36] And thou ȝeue to me the proteccioun of thin [myn AH.] helthe; and thi riȝthond vndertoc me. And thi discipline amendede me in to the ende; and that thi discipline shal teche me. [verse 37] Thou madest large my goingus vnder me; and my steppis ben not feblid. [verse 38] I shal pursue myn enemys, and taken hem; and I shal not be turned, to the time thei failen. [verse 39] I shal breke them togi|dere, ne thei myȝten stonde; thei shul falle vnder my feet. [verse 40] And thou befor
girtist [girdist AH. girdedist E.] me with vertue to bataile; and thou supplauntidist men risende in me vnder me. [verse 41] And myn enemys thou ȝeue to me bac; and the hatende me thou scateredest. [verse 42] Thei crieden, and ther was not that shulde make saf; to the Lord, and he ful out herde them not. [verse 43] And I shal to-poone them into pouder befor the face of the wind; as clei of stretis I shal do them awei. [verse 44] Thou shalt take me out fro the aȝen seiyngus of the puple; thou shalt sette me in to the hed of Jentilis. [verse 45] The puple, that I knewe not, seruede to me; in heering [the heering AEH.] of ere it obeshede to me. [verse 46] Alienes sones han lied to me, alienes sonus ben elded; and haltiden [han haltid A.] fro thi pathis. [verse 47] The Lord liueth, and blessid my God; and God of myn helthe be en|hauncid. [verse 48] God, that giuest veniauncis to me, and sogetyst puplis vnder me; my deliuerere fro my wratheful enemys. [verse 49] And fro men risende in to me, thou shalt en|haunce me; fro the wicke [wickid H.] man thou shalt take me awei. [verse 50] Therfore, Lord, I shal knouleche to thee in naciouns; and to thi name a salm I shal seyn. [verse 51] Magnefiende the helthis of his king; and doende mercy to his crist Dauid, and to his sed vnto the world.
