loquuntur super me. ¶ Cled be thai in shame and drede: that grete spekis on me. ¶ That is, that spekis proudly on me, cled be thai in shame in hell.

31. Exultent & letentur qui volunt iusticiam meam: & dicant semper, magnificetur dominus, qui volunt pacem serui eius. ¶ Glade thai and fayn be that will my rightwisnes: and say thai ay, worschipid be lord, that will the pes of his seruaunt. ¶ Glade thai noght that is proude of thaire rightwisnes, bot that will folu my rightwisnes: and that will the pees of his seruaunt, that is crist, that biddis vs halde pees: and ioyand say thai, worschipid be oure lord ay. that is, swa be he worschipid til the ende of the warlde as he is now in conuersion of sum.

32. Et lingua mea meditabitur iusticiam tuam: tota die laudem tuam. ¶ And my tonge sall thynke thi rightwisnes: all day thi louynge. ¶ Thoght is of hert, noght of tonge: bot fore the voice of mouth aghe to acord hally to the hert. he says that his tonge sall thynke the rightwisnes of god. and all day his louynge. for in all wordis and dedis he louyd god. He louys all day that does all thynge wele. and he styntis not of louynge whils he haldis his rightwisnes, and erres not fra godis luf.

DIXIT iniustus ut delinquat in semet ipso: non est timor dei ante oculos eius. ¶ The vnrightwis sayd that he trespas in him self; the dred of god is not bifor his eghen. ¶ The vnright|wis, that is, the kynde of wickid men, sayd in him self. whare man sees noght: what. that he trespas, that is he syn at his will, as god rought noght what he did: and swa it is seen that the drede of god is not bifore his eghen. for if he drede god he durst not swa say.

2. Quoniam dolose egit in conspectu eius: vt inueniatur iniquitas eius ad odium. ffor tricherosly he wroght in syght of him: that funden be his wickidnes til hateredyn. ¶ He tricherosly wroght: that is he boghid [S wrought.] til his fleysse, not til god: thof his skil tald a nother: in syght of god: for that he sees: swa that his wickidnes be funden til hateredyn: that is, that he fynd that god hatis his wickidnes.

3. Verba oris eius iniquitas & dolus: noluit intelligere
