¹ Heare ye right (O LORDE) cosidre my coplaynte: herken vnto my prayer, that goeth not out of a fayned mouth.² Let my sentence come forth fro thy presence, and loke vpon the thinge that is equall.³ Thou hast proued & visited myne herte in the night season: thou hast tried me in the fyre, & hast founde no wickednes in me: for I vtterly purposed, that my mouth shulde not offende.⁴ Because of the wordes of thy lippes, I haue kepte me fro the workes of men, in ye waye off the murthurer.⁵ Oh ordre thou my goynges in thy pathes, that my fote steppes slippe not.⁶ For vnto the I crie, heare me o God: enclyne thine eares to me, and herke vnto my wordes.⁷ Shewe yi maruelous louinge kindnesse, thou that sauest them which put their trust in the, from soch as resist thy right honde.

⁸ Kepe me as the apple of an eye, defende me vnder the shadowe of thy wynges.⁹ From the vngodly that trouble me, fro myne enemies which compasse my soule rounde aboute.¹⁰ Which manteyne their owne welthynesse with oppression, & their mouth speaketh proude thinges.¹¹ They lye waytinge in or waye on euery syde, turnynge their eyes downe to the grounde.¹² Like as a lyon that is gredy of his pray, & as it were a lyons whelpe lurckynge in his denne.¹³ Vp LORDE, dispoynte him & cast him downe: delyuer my soule with thy swerde from the vngodly.¹⁴ Fro the men of thy honde (o LORDE) from the men off the worlde, which haue their porcion in this life: whose belies thou fyllest with thy treasure.¹⁵ They haue children at their desyre, and leaue the reste of their substauce for their babes. But as for me, I will beholde thy presence in rightuousnes: and when thy glory appeareth, I shal be satisfied.
