2 et ait: Dominus petra mea, et robur meum, et salvator meus.

4 Laudabilem invocabo Dominum: et ab inimicis meis salvus ero.
Y schal inwardly clepe the Lord worthi to be preisid; and Y schal be saaf fro myn enemyes.
5 Quia circumdederunt me contritiones mortis: torrentes Belial terruerunt me.
For the sorewis of deeth cumpasside me; the strondis of Belial maden me aferd.
The coordis of helle cumpassiden me; the snaris of deeth camen bifor me. (Sheol h7585)
7 In tribulatione mea invocabo Dominum, et ad Deum meum clamabo: et exaudiet de templo sancto suo vocem meam, et clamor meus veniet ad aures eius.
In tribulacioun Y schal clepe, `that is, Y clepide thee, Lord, and Y schal crie to my God; and he herd fro his holi temple my vois, and my crye schal come to hise eeris.
8 Commota est et contremuit terra: fundamenta montium concussa sunt, et conquassata, quoniam iratus est eis.
The erthe was mouyd, and tremblide; the foundementis of hillis weren smytun and schakun togidere, for the Lord was wrooth to hem.
9 Ascendit fumus de naribus eius, et ignis de ore eius vorabit: carbones succensi sunt ab eo.

10 Inclinavit caelos, et descendit: et caligo sub pedibus eius.

11 Et ascendit super cherubim, et volavit: et lapsus est super pennas venti.

16 Et apparuerunt effusiones maris, et revelata sunt fundamenta orbis ab increpatione Domini, ab inspiratione spiritus furoris eius.
And the schedyngis out of the see apperiden, and the foundementis of the world weren schewid; fro the blamyng of the Lord, fro the brething of the spirit of his strong veniaunce.

20 Et eduxit me in latitudinem: liberavit me, quia complacui ei.
