| 1 | 68:2 God, make thou me saaf; for watris `entriden til to my soule. |
| 2 | 68:3 I am set in the sliym of the depthe; and `substaunce is not. I cam in to the depthe of the see; and the tempest drenchide me. |
| 3 | 68:4 I traueilide criynge, my cheekis weren maad hoose; myn iyen failiden, the while Y hope in to my God. |
| 4 | 68:5 Thei that hatiden me with out cause; weren multiplied aboue the heeris of myn heed. Myn enemyes that pursueden me vniustli weren coumfortid; Y paiede thanne tho thingis, whiche Y rauischide not. |
| 5 | 68:6 God, thou knowist myn vnkunnyng; and my trespassis ben not hid fro thee. |
| 6 | 68:7 Lord, Lord of vertues; thei, that abiden thee, be not aschamed in me. God of Israel; thei, that seken thee, be not schent on me. |
| 7 | 68:8 For Y suffride schenschipe for thee; schame hilide my face. |
| 8 | 68:9 I am maad a straunger to my britheren; and a pilgryme to the sones of my modir. |
| 9 | 68:10 For the feruent loue of thin hous eet me; and the schenschipis of men seiynge schenschipis to thee fellen on me. |
| 10 | 68:11 And Y hilide my soule with fastyng; and it was maad in to schenschip to me. |
| 11 | 68:12 And Y puttide my cloth an heire; and Y am maad to hem in to a parable. |
| 12 | 68:13 Thei, that saten in the yate, spaken ayens me; and thei, that drunken wien, sungen of me. |
| 13 | 68:14 But Lord, Y dresse my preier to thee; God, Y abide the tyme of good plesaunce. Here thou me in the multitude of thi mercy; in the treuthe of thin heelthe. |
| 14 | 68:15 Delyuer thou me fro the cley, that Y be not faste set in; delyuere thou me fro hem that haten me, and fro depthe of watris. |
| 15 | 68:16 The tempest of watir drenche not me, nethir the depthe swolowe me; nethir the pit make streit his mouth on me. |
| 16 | 68:17 Lord, here thou me, for thi merci is benygne; vp the multitude of thi merciful doyngis biholde thou in to me. |
| 17 | 68:18 And turne not awei thi face fro thi child; for Y am in tribulacioun, here thou me swiftli. |
| 18 | 68:19 Yyue thou tente to my soule, and delyuer thou it; for myn enemyes delyuere thou me. |
| 19 | 68:20 Thou knowist my schenschip, and my dispysyng; and my schame. |
| 20 | 68:21 Alle that troblen me ben in thi siyt; myn herte abood schendschipe, and wretchidnesse. And Y abood hym, that was sory togidere, and noon was; and that schulde coumforte, and Y foond not. |
| 21 | 68:22 And thei yauen galle in to my meete; and in my thirst thei yauen `to me drinke with vynegre. |
| 22 | 68:23 The boord of hem be maad bifore hem in to a snare; and in to yeldyngis, and in to sclaundir. |
| 23 | 68:24 Her iyen be maad derk, that thei se not; and euere bouwe doun the bak of hem. |
| 24 | 68:25 Schede out thin ire on hem; and the strong veniaunce of thin ire take hem. |
| 25 | 68:26 The habitacioun of hem be maad forsakun; and `noon be that dwelle in the tabernaclis of hem. |
| 26 | 68:27 For thei pursueden hym, whom thou hast smyte; and thei addiden on the sorewe of my woundis. |
| 27 | 68:28 Adde thou wickidnesse on the wickidnesse of hem; and entre thei not in to thi riytwisnesse. |
| 28 | 68:29 Be thei don awei fro the book of lyuynge men; and be thei not writun with iust men. |
| 29 | 68:30 I am pore and sorewful; God, thin heelthe took me vp. |
| 30 | 68:31 I schal herye the name of God with song; and Y schal magnefye hym in heriyng. |
| 31 | 68:32 And it schal plese God more than a newe calf; bryngynge forth hornes and clees. |
| 32 | 68:33 Pore men se, and be glad; seke ye God, and youre soule schal lyue. |
| 33 | 68:34 For the Lord herde pore men; and dispiside not hise boundun men. |
| 34 | 68:35 Heuenes and erthe, herye hym; the se, and alle crepynge bestis in tho, herye hym. |
| 35 | 68:36 For God schal make saaf Syon; and the citees of Juda schulen be bildid. And thei schulen dwelle there; and thei schulen gete it bi eritage. |
| 36 | 68:37 And the seed of hise seruauntis schal haue it in possessioun; and thei that louen his name, schulen dwelle ther ynne. |
