2. Et in vmbra alarum tuarum sperabo: donec transeat iniquitas. ¶ And in shadow of thi wengis .i. sall hope: til wickidnes pass. ¶ That is, in hilynge and kolynge of thi goednes and thi pite. fra the het of vices, .i. sall hope to be safe, til wickidnes pass. that is enterly at the endynge fulfild, for ay til than wickidnes angirand will not want.
3. Clamabo ad deum altissimum: deum qui benefecit michi. ¶ I sall cry til god heghest: til god that wele did til me. ¶ I sall not be ydell, bot .i. sall cry with all the myght of my hert. til god heghest. forthi me bihoues nede cry. bot .i. hafe proued his goednes, for he did wele til me, that he herd me criand.
4. Misit de celo & liberauit me: dedit in obprobrium conculcantes me. ¶ He sent fra heuen & he delyuerd me: and he gaf in reproue tredand me. ¶ He sent his sun fra heuen, & thurgh him he delyuerd me of the deuels prison. and he gafe in reproue of endles pyne tredand me, that is, the deuel and his lymmes, that pynes rightwismen.
5. Misit deus miserecordiam suam & veritatem suam: & eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum, dormiui conturbatus. ¶ God sent his mercy and his soth|fastnes: and he toke out my saule fra the myddis of whelpis of leouns, .i. slepe druuyd. ¶ God sent his mercy til my saule, forgifand my syn, and his sothfastnes, punysand me mercyfully. and swa he toke out my saule, that was bunden in bandis of syn, fra the myddis of whelpis of lyouns, that is, fra the comun life of warldis lufers, that ere the whelpis of deuels: amange thaim .i. slepe, that is, .i. ristid me in vices and filth of syn. bot .i. was druuyd of thaim, that is, tourmentid, that gart me the sonere depart fra thaim, and haste me til god.
