| 1 | The title of the eiythe salm. To the ouercomere, for pressours, the salm of Dauid. |
| 2 | Lord, thou art oure Lord; thi name is ful wonderful in al erthe. For thi greet doyng is reisid, aboue heuenes. |
| 3 | Of the mouth of yonge children, not spekynge and soukynge mylk, thou madist perfitli heriyng, for thin enemyes; that thou destrie the enemy and avengere. |
| 4 | For Y schal se thin heuenes, the werkis of thi fyngris; the moone and sterris, whiche thou hast foundid. |
| 5 | What is a man, that thou art myndeful of hym; ethir the sone of a virgyn, for thou visitist hym? |
| 6 | Thou hast maad hym a litil lesse than aungels; thou hast corouned hym with glorie and onour, |
| 7 | and hast ordeyned hym aboue the werkis of thin hondis. |
| 8 | Thou hast maad suget alle thingis vndur hise feet; alle scheep and oxis, ferthermore and the beestis of the feeld; |
| 9 | the briddis of the eir, and the fischis of the see; that passen bi the pathis of the see. |
| 10 | Lord, `thou art oure Lord; thi name `is wondurful in al erthe. PALM 9 |
| 11 | And thei, that knowen thi name, haue hope in thee; for thou, Lord, hast not forsake hem that seken thee. |
| 12 | Synge ye to the Lord, that dwellith in Syon; telle ye hise studyes among hethene men. |
| 13 | God foryetith not the cry of pore men; for he hath mynde, and sekith the blood of hem. |
| 14 | Lord, haue thou merci on me; se thou my mekenesse of myn enemyes. |
| 15 | Which enhaunsist me fro the yatis of deeth; that Y telle alle thi preisyngis in the yatis of the douyter of Syon. |
| 16 | Y schal `be fulli ioyeful in thin helthe; hethene men ben fast set in the perisching, which thei maden. In this snare, which thei hidden, the foot of hem is kauyt. |
| 17 | The Lord makynge domes schal be knowun; the synnere is takun in the werkis of hise hondis. |
| 18 | Synneris be turned togidere in to helle; alle folkis, that foryeten God. |
| 19 | For the foryetyng of a pore man schal not be in to the ende; the pacience of pore men schal not perische in to the ende. |
| 20 | Lord, rise thou vp, a man be not coumfortid; folkis be demyd in thi siyt. |
| 21 | Lord, ordeine thou a lawe makere on hem; wite folkis, that thei ben men. |
