A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
2 Kepe thou my lijf, for Y am holi; my God, make thou saaf thi seruaunt hopynge in thee.
Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant — who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.
3 Lord, haue thou merci on me, for Y criede al day to thee;
Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.
4 make thou glad the soule of thi seruaunt, for whi, Lord, Y haue reisid my soule to thee.
Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.
6 Lord, perseyue thou my preier with eeris; and yyue thou tente to the vois of my bisechyng.
Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the dai of my tribulacioun Y criede to thee; for thou herdist me.
In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.
8 Lord, noon among goddis is lijk thee; and noon is euene to thi werkis.
There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.
9 Lord, alle folkis, whiche euere thou madist, schulen come, and worschipe bifore thee; and thei schulen glorifie thi name.
All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.
11 Lord, lede thou me forth in thi weie, and Y schal entre in thi treuthe; myn herte be glad, that it drede thi name.
Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice 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 confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.
For Thy kindness [is] great 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 have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,
15 And thou, Lord God, doynge merci, and merciful; pacient, and of myche merci, and sothefast.
And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness 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.
Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine 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.
Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!
