| 1 | 58:2 Mi God, delyuer thou me fro myn enemyes; and delyuer thou me fro hem that risen ayens me. |
| 2 | 58:3 Delyuer thou me fro hem that worchen wickidnesse; and saue thou me fro menquelleris. |
| 3 | 58:4 For lo! thei han take my soule; stronge men fellen in on me. |
| 4 | 58:5 Nethir my wickidnesse, nether my synne; Lord, Y ran with out wickidnesse, and dresside `my werkis. |
| 5 | 58:6 Rise vp thou in to my meetyng, and se; and thou, Lord God of vertues, art God of Israel. Yyue thou tent to visite alle folkis; do thou not merci to alle that worchen wickidnesse. |
| 6 | 58:7 Thei schulen be turned at euentid, and thei as doggis schulen suffre hungir; and thei schulen cumpas the citee. |
| 7 | 58:8 Lo! thei schulen speke in her mouth, and a swerd in her lippis; for who herde? |
| 8 | 58:9 And thou, Lord, schalt scorne hem; thou schalt bringe alle folkis to nouyt. |

| 11 | 58:12 God schewide to me on myn enemyes, slee thou not hem; lest ony tyme my puples foryete. Scatere thou hem in thi vertu; and, Lord, my defender, putte thou hem doun. |
| 12 | 58:13 Putte thou doun the trespas of her mouth, and the word of her lippis; and be thei takun in her pride. And of cursyng and of leesyng; thei schulen be schewid in the endyng. |
| 13 | 58:14 In the ire of ending, and thei schulen not be; and thei schulen wite, that the Lord schal be Lord of Jacob, and of the endis of erthe. |
| 14 | 58:15 Thei schulen be turned at euentid, and thei as doggis schulen suffre hungur; and thei schulen cumpas the citee. |
| 15 | 58:16 Thei schulen be scaterid abrood, for to eete; sotheli if thei ben not fillid, and thei schulen grutche. |
| 16 | 58:17 But Y schal synge thi strengthe; and eerli Y schal enhaunse thi merci. For thou art maad myn vptaker; and my refuyt, in the dai of my tribulacioun. |
| 17 | 58:18 Myn helper, Y schal synge to thee; for thou art God, myn vptaker, my God, my mercy. |
