| title | 39:1 The title of the nyne and threttithe salm. For victorie, the song of Dauid. |
| 1 | 39:2 Y abidynge abood the Lord; and he yaf tent to me. |
| 2 | 39:3 And he herde my preieris; and he ledde out me fro the lake of wretchidnesse, and fro the filthe of draft. And he ordeynede my feet on a stoon; and he dresside my goyngis. |
| 3 | 39:4 And he sente in to my mouth a newe song; a song to oure God. Many men schulen se, and schulen drede; and schulen haue hope in the Lord. |
| 4 | 39:5 Blessid is the man, of whom the name of the Lord is his hope; and he bihelde not in to vanitees, and in to false woodnesses. |
| 5 | 39:6 Mi Lord God, thou hast maad thi merueils manye; and in thi thouytis noon is, that is lijk thee. I teld, and Y spak; and thei ben multiplied aboue noumbre. |
| 6 | 39:7 Thou noldist sacrifice and offryng; but thou madist perfitli eeris to me. Thou axidist not brent sacrifice, and sacrifice for synne; |
| 7 | 39:8 thanne Y seide, Lo! Y come. In the heed of the book it is writun of me, |
| 8 | 39:9 that Y schulde do thi wille; my God, Y wolde; and thi lawe in the myddis of myn herte. |
| 9 | 39:10 I telde thi riytfulnesse in a greet chirche; lo! Y schal not refreine my lippis, Lord, thou wistist. |
| 10 | 39:11 I hidde not thi riytfulnesse in myn herte; Y seide thi treuthe and thin helthe. I hidde not thi mercy and thi treuthe; fro a myche counsel. |
| 11 | 39:12 But thou, Lord, make not fer thi merciful doyngis fro me; thi mercy and treuthe euere token me vp. |
| 12 | 39:13 For whi yuels, of whiche is no noumbre, cumpassiden me; my wickidnessis token me, and y myyte not, that Y schulde se. Tho ben multiplied aboue the heeris of myn heed; and myn herte forsook me. |
| 13 | 39:14 Lord, plese it to thee, that thou delyuere me; Lord, biholde thou to helpe me. |
| 14 | 39:15 Be thei schent, and aschamed togidere; that seken my lijf, to take awei it. Be thei turned abac, and be thei schamed; that wolen yuels to me. |
| 15 | 39:16 Bere thei her confusioun anoon; that seien to me, Wel! wel! `that is, in scorn. |
| 16 | 39:17 Alle men that seken thee, be fulli ioyful, and be glad on thee; and seie thei, that louen thin helthe, The Lord be magnyfied euere. |
| 17 | 39:18 Forsothe Y am a beggere and pore; the Lord is bisi of me. Thou arte myn helpere and my defendere; my God, tarie thou not. |
