8 Lord, noon among goddis is lijk thee; and noon is euene to thi werkis.
There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
9 Lord, alle folkis, whiche euere thou madist, schulen come, and worschipe bifore thee; and thei schulen glorifie thi name.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify thy name.

Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 Mi Lord God, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; and Y schal glorifie thi name withouten ende.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify thy name for evermore.
For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 God, wickid men han rise vp on me; and the synagoge of myyti men han souyt my lijf; and thei han not set forth thee in her siyt.
O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them.

But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.
16 Biholde on me, and haue mercy on me, yyue thou the empire to thi child; and make thou saaf the sone of thin handmayden.
Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Make thou with me a signe in good, that thei se, that haten me, and be aschamed; for thou, Lord, hast helpid me, and hast coumfortid me.
Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.
