Let thy hand be for my help; for I have chosen thy precepts.
174 Lord, Y coueitide thin heelthe; and thi lawe is my thenking.
I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and thy law is my delight.
175 Mi soule schal lyue, and schal herie thee; and thi domes schulen helpe me.
Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
176 I erride as a scheep that perischide; Lord, seke thi seruaunt, for Y foryat not thi comaundementis.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep: seek thy servant; for I have not forgotten thy commandments.
