2 Blessid ben thei, that seken hise witnessingis; seken him in al the herte.
3 For thei that worchen wickidnesse; yeden not in hise weies.
4 Thou hast comaundid; that thin heestis be kept greetly.
5 I wolde that my weies be dressid; to kepe thi iustifiyngis.
6 Thanne Y schal not be schent; whanne Y schal biholde perfitli in alle thin heestis.
7 I schal knouleche to thee in the dressing of herte; in that that Y lernyde the domes of thi riytfulnesse.
8 I schal kepe thi iustifiyngis; forsake thou not me on ech side.
9 In what thing amendith a yong waxinge man his weie? in keping thi wordis.
10 In al myn herte Y souyte thee; putte thou me not awei fro thin heestis.
11 In myn herte Y hidde thi spechis; that Y do not synne ayens thee.
12 Lord, thou art blessid; teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
13 In my lippis Y haue pronounsid; alle the domes of thi mouth.
14 I delitide in the weie of thi witnessingis; as in alle richessis.
15 I schal be ocupied in thin heestis; and Y schal biholde thi weies.
16 I schal bithenke in thi iustifiyngis; Y schal not foryete thi wordis.
17 Yelde to thi seruaunt; quiken thou me, and Y schal kepe thi wordis.
18 Liytne thou myn iyen; and Y schal biholde the merueils of thi lawe.
19 I am a comeling in erthe; hide thou not thin heestis fro me.
20 Mi soule coueitide to desire thi iustifiyngis; in al tyme.
21 Thou blamedist the proude; thei ben cursid, that bowen awei fro thin heestis.
22 Do thou awei `fro me schenschipe and dispising; for Y souyte thi witnessingis.
23 For whi princis saten, and spaken ayens me; but thi seruaunt was exercisid in thi iustifiyngis.
24 For whi and thi witnessyngis is my thenkyng; and my counsel is thi iustifiyngis.
25 Mi soule cleuede to the pawment; quykine thou me bi thi word.
26 I telde out my weies, and thou herdist me; teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
27 Lerne thou me the weie of thi iustifiyngis; and Y schal be exercisid in thi merueils.
28 Mi soule nappide for anoye; conferme thou me in thi wordis.
29 Remoue thou fro me the weie of wickidnesse; and in thi lawe haue thou merci on me.
30 I chees the weie of treuthe; Y foryat not thi domes.
31 Lord, Y cleuede to thi witnessyngis; nyle thou schende me.
32 I ran the weie of thi comaundementis; whanne thou alargidist myn herte.
33 Lord, sette thou to me a lawe, the weie of thi iustifiyngis; and Y schal seke it euere.
34 Yyue thou vndurstonding to me, and Y schal seke thi lawe; and Y schal kepe it in al myn herte.
35 Lede me forth in the path of thin heestis; for Y wolde it.
36 `Bowe thou myn herte in to thi witnessingus; and not in to aueryce.
37 Turne thou awei myn iyen, that `tho seen not vanyte; quykene thou me in thi weie.
38 Ordeyne thi speche to thi seruaunt; in thi drede.
39 Kitte awey my schenschip, which Y supposide; for thi domes ben myrie.
40 Lo! Y coueitide thi comaundementis; quikene thou me in thin equite.
41 And, Lord, thi merci come on me; thin heelthe come bi thi speche.

43 And take thou not awei fro my mouth the word of treuthe outerli; for Y hopide aboue in thi domes.
44 And Y schal kepe thi lawe euere; in to the world, and in to the world of world.
45 And Y yede in largenesse; for Y souyte thi comaundementis.
46 And Y spak of thi witnessyngis in the siyt of kingis; and Y was not schent.
47 And Y bithouyte in thin heestis; whiche Y louede.
48 And Y reiside myn hondis to thi comaundementis, whiche Y louede; and Y schal be excercisid in thi iustifiyngis.
49 Lord, haue thou mynde on thi word to thi seruaunt; in which word thou hast youe hope to me.
50 This coumfortide me in my lownesse; for thi word quikenede me.
51 Proude men diden wickidli bi alle thingis; but Y bowide not awei fro thi lawe.
52 Lord, Y was myndeful on thi domes fro the world; and Y was coumfortid.
53 Failing helde me; for synneris forsakinge thi lawe.
54 Thi iustifiyngis weren delitable to me to be sungun; in the place of my pilgrimage.
55 Lord, Y hadde mynde of thi name bi niyt; and Y kepte thi lawe.
56 This thing was maad to me; for Y souyte thi iustifiyngis.

61 The coordis of synneris han biclippid me; and Y haue not foryete thi lawe.
62 At mydnyyt Y roos to knouleche to thee; on the domes of thi iustifiyngis.
63 I am parcener of alle that dreden thee; and kepen thin heestis.
64 Lord, the erthe is ful of thi merci; teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.

68 Thou art good; and in thi goodnesse teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
69 The wickidnesse of hem that ben proude, is multiplied on me; but in al myn herte Y schal seke thin heestis.
70 The herte of hem is cruddid as mylk; but Y bithouyte thi lawe.
71 It is good to me, that thou hast maad me meke; that Y lerne thi iustifiyngis.
72 The lawe of thi mouth is betere to me; than thousyndis of gold and of siluer.

86 Alle thi comaundementis ben treuthe; wickid men han pursued me, helpe thou me.
87 Almeest thei endiden me in erthe; but I forsook not thi comaundementis.
88 Bi thi mersi quikene thou me; and Y schal kepe the witnessingis of thi mouth.
