Which commeth forth as a bridegrome out of his chamber, and reioyceth like a mightie man to runne his race.
6 a summo caelo egressio eius: Et occursus eius usque ad summum eius: nec est qui se abscondat a calore eius.

10 Desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum: et dulciora super mel et favum.

11 Etenim servus tuus custodit ea, in custodiendis illis retributio multa.
Moreouer by them is thy seruant made circumspect, and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Delicta quis intelligit? ab occultis meis munda me:
Who can vnderstand his faultes? clense me from secret fautes.
13 et ab alienis parce servo tuo. Si mei non fuerint dominati, tunc immaculatus ero: et emundabor a delicto maximo.
Keepe thy seruant also from presumptuous sinnes: let them not reigne ouer me: so shall I be vpright, and made cleane from much wickednes.
14 Et erunt ut complaceant eloquia oris mei: et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo semper. Domine adiutor meus, et redemptor meus.
Let the wordes of my mouth, and the meditation of mine heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
