Lord, Y hopide in thee, be Y not schent with outen ende;
2 in iustitia tua libera me, et eripe me. Inclina ad me aurem tuam, et salva me.
in thi riytwisnesse delyuere thou me, and rauysche me out. Bowe doun thin eere to me; and make me saaf.
3 Esto mihi in Deum protectorem, et in locum munitum: ut salvum me facias, Quoniam firmamentum meum, et refugium meum es tu.
Be thou to me in to God a defendere; and in to a strengthid place, that thou make me saaf. For thou art my stidefastnesse; and my refuit.
4 Deus meus eripe me de manu peccatoris, et de manu contra legem agentis et iniqui:
My God, delyuere thou me fro the hoond of the synner; and fro the hoond of a man doynge ayens the lawe, and of the wickid man.
5 Quoniam tu es patientia mea Domine: Domine spes mea a iuventute mea.
For thou, Lord, art my pacience; Lord, thou art myn hope fro my yongthe.
6 In te confirmatus sum ex utero: de ventre matris meae tu es protector meus: In te cantatio mea semper:

7 tamquam prodigium factus sum multis: et tu adiutor fortis.

10 Quia dixerunt inimici mei mihi: et qui custodiebant animam meam, consilium fecerunt in unum,
For myn enemyes seiden of me; and thei that kepten my lijf maden counsel togidere.
11 Dicentes: Deus dereliquit eum, persequimini, et comprehendite eum: quia non est qui eripiat.

12 Deus ne elongeris a me: Deus meus in auxilium meum respice.

14 Ego autem semper sperabo: et adiiciam super omnem laudem tuam.

and thi riytfulnesse, God, til in to the hiyeste grete dedis which thou hast do; God, who is lijk thee?
20 Quantas ostendisti mihi tribulationes multas, et malas: et conversus vivificasti me: et de abyssis terrae iterum reduxisti me:
Hou grete tribulaciouns many and yuele hast thou schewid to me; and thou conuertid hast quykenyd me, and hast eft brouyt me ayen fro the depthis of erthe.
21 Multiplicasti magnificentiam tuam: et conversus consolatus es me.
