1 `The titil of the hundrid and eiytenthe salm. Alleluia. Blessid ben men with out wem in the weie; that gon in the lawe of the Lord. 2 Blessid ben thei, that seken hise witnessingis; seken him in al the herte. 3 For thei that worchen wickidnesse; yeden not in hise weies. 4 Thou hast comaundid; that thin heestis be kept greetly. 5 I wolde that my weies be dressid; to kepe thi iustifiyngis. 6 Thanne Y schal not be schent; whanne Y schal biholde perfitli in alle thin heestis. 7 I schal knouleche to thee in the dressing of herte; in that that Y lernyde the domes of thi riytfulnesse. 8 I schal kepe thi iustifiyngis; forsake thou not me on ech side. 9 In what thing amendith a yong waxinge man his weie? in keping thi wordis. 10 In al myn herte Y souyte thee; putte thou me not awei fro thin heestis. 11 In myn herte Y hidde thi spechis; that Y do not synne ayens thee. 12 Lord, thou art blessid; teche thou me thi iustifiyngis. 13 In my lippis Y haue pronounsid; alle the domes of thi mouth. 14 I delitide in the weie of thi witnessingis; as in alle richessis. 15 I schal be ocupied in thin heestis; and Y schal biholde thi weies. 16 I schal bithenke in thi iustifiyngis; Y schal not foryete thi wordis. 17 Yelde to thi seruaunt; quiken thou me, and Y schal kepe thi wordis. 18 Liytne thou myn iyen; and Y schal biholde the merueils of thi lawe. 19 I am a comeling in erthe; hide thou not thin heestis fro me. 20 Mi soule coueitide to desire thi iustifiyngis; in al tyme. 21 Thou blamedist the proude; thei ben cursid, that bowen awei fro thin heestis. 22 Do thou awei `fro me schenschipe and dispising; for Y souyte thi witnessingis. 23 For whi princis saten, and spaken ayens me; but thi seruaunt was exercisid in thi iustifiyngis. 24 For whi and thi witnessyngis is my thenkyng; and my counsel is thi iustifiyngis. 25 Mi soule cleuede to the pawment; quykine thou me bi thi word. 26 I telde out my weies, and thou herdist me; teche thou me thi iustifiyngis. 27 Lerne thou me the weie of thi iustifiyngis; and Y schal be exercisid in thi merueils. 28 Mi soule nappide for anoye; conferme thou me in thi wordis. 29 Remoue thou fro me the weie of wickidnesse; and in thi lawe haue thou merci on me. 30 I chees the weie of treuthe; Y foryat not thi domes. 31 Lord, Y cleuede to thi witnessyngis; nyle thou schende me. 32 I ran the weie of thi comaundementis; whanne thou alargidist myn herte. 33 Lord, sette thou to me a lawe, the weie of thi iustifiyngis; and Y schal seke it euere. 34 Yyue thou vndurstonding to me, and Y schal seke thi lawe; and Y schal kepe it in al myn herte. 35 Lede me forth in the path of thin heestis; for Y wolde it. 36 `Bowe thou myn herte in to thi witnessingus; and not in to aueryce. 37 Turne thou awei myn iyen, that `tho seen not vanyte; quykene thou me in thi weie. 38 Ordeyne thi speche to thi seruaunt; in thi drede. 39 Kitte awey my schenschip, which Y supposide; for thi domes ben myrie. 40 Lo! Y coueitide thi comaundementis; quikene thou me in thin equite. 41 And, Lord, thi merci come on me; thin heelthe come bi thi speche. 42 And Y schal answere a word to men seiynge schenschipe to me; for Y hopide in thi wordis. 43 And take thou not awei fro my mouth the word of treuthe outerli; for Y hopide aboue in thi domes. 44 And Y schal kepe thi lawe euere; in to the world, and in to the world of world. 45 And Y yede in largenesse; for Y souyte thi comaundementis. 46 And Y spak of thi witnessyngis in the siyt of kingis; and Y was not schent. 47 And Y bithouyte in thin heestis; whiche Y louede. 48 And Y reiside myn hondis to thi comaundementis, whiche Y louede; and Y schal be excercisid in thi iustifiyngis. 49 Lord, haue thou mynde on thi word to thi seruaunt; in which word thou hast youe hope to me. 50 This coumfortide me in my lownesse; for thi word quikenede me. 51 Proude men diden wickidli bi alle thingis; but Y bowide not awei fro thi lawe. 52 Lord, Y was myndeful on thi domes fro the world; and Y was coumfortid. 53 Failing helde me; for synneris forsakinge thi lawe. 54 Thi iustifiyngis weren delitable to me to be sungun; in the place of my pilgrimage. 55 Lord, Y hadde mynde of thi name bi niyt; and Y kepte thi lawe. 56 This thing was maad to me; for Y souyte thi iustifiyngis. 57 Lord, my part; Y seide to kepe thi lawe. 58 I bisouyte thi face in al myn herte; haue thou merci on me bi thi speche. 59 I bithouyte my weies; and Y turnede my feet in to thi witnessyngis. 60 I am redi, and Y am not disturblid; to kepe thi comaundementis. 61 The coordis of synneris han biclippid me; and Y haue not foryete thi lawe. 62 At mydnyyt Y roos to knouleche to thee; on the domes of thi iustifiyngis. 63 I am parcener of alle that dreden thee; and kepen thin heestis. 64 Lord, the erthe is ful of thi merci; teche thou me thi iustifiyngis. 65 Lord, thou hast do goodnesse with thi seruaunt; bi thi word. 66 Teche thou me goodnesse, and loore, and kunnyng; for Y bileuede to thin heestis. 67 Bifor that Y was maad meke, Y trespasside; therfor Y kepte thi speche. 68 Thou art good; and in thi goodnesse teche thou me thi iustifiyngis. 69 The wickidnesse of hem that ben proude, is multiplied on me; but in al myn herte Y schal seke thin heestis. 70 The herte of hem is cruddid as mylk; but Y bithouyte thi lawe. 71 It is good to me, that thou hast maad me meke; that Y lerne thi iustifiyngis. 72 The lawe of thi mouth is betere to me; than thousyndis of gold and of siluer. 73 Thin hondis maden me, and fourmeden me; yyue thou vndurstondyng to me, that Y lerne thin heestis. 74 Thei that dreden thee schulen se me, and schulen be glad; for Y hopide more on thi wordis. 75 Lord, Y knewe, that thi domes ben equite; and in thi treuth thou hast maad me meke. 76 Thi merci be maad, that it coumforte me; bi thi speche to thi seruaunt. 77 Thi merciful doyngis come to me, and Y schal lyue; for thi lawe is my thenkyng. 78 Thei that ben proude be schent, for vniustli thei diden wickidnesse ayens me; but Y schal be exercisid in thin heestis. 79 Thei that dreden thee be turned to me; and thei that knowen thi witnessyngis. 80 Myn herte be maad vnwemmed in thi iustifiyngis; that Y be not schent. 81 Mi soule failide in to thin helthe; and Y hopide more on thi word. 82 Myn iyen failiden in to thi speche; seiynge, Whanne schalt thou coumforte me? 83 For Y am maad as a bowge in frost; Y haue not foryete thi iustifiyngis. 84 Hou many ben the daies of thi seruaunt; whanne thou schalt make doom of hem that pursuen me? 85 Wickid men telden to me ianglyngis; but not as thi lawe. 86 Alle thi comaundementis ben treuthe; wickid men han pursued me, helpe thou me. 87 Almeest thei endiden me in erthe; but I forsook not thi comaundementis. 88 Bi thi mersi quikene thou me; and Y schal kepe the witnessingis of thi mouth. 89 Lord, thi word dwellith in heuene; with outen ende. 90 Thi treuthe dwellith in generacioun, and in to generacioun; thou hast foundid the erthe, and it dwellith. 91 The dai lastith contynueli bi thi ordynaunce; for alle thingis seruen to thee. 92 No but that thi lawe was my thenking; thanne perauenture Y hadde perischid in my lownesse. 93 With outen ende Y schal not foryete thi iustifiyngis; for in tho thou hast quikened me. 94 I am thin, make thou me saaf; for Y haue souyt thi iustifiyngis. 95 Synneris aboden me, for to leese me; Y vndurstood thi witnessingis. 96 I siy the ende of al ende; thi comaundement is ful large. 97 Lord, hou louede Y thi lawe; al dai it is my thenking. 98 Aboue myn enemyes thou madist me prudent bi thi comaundement; for it is to me with outen ende. 99 I vndurstood aboue alle men techinge me; for thi witnessingis is my thenking. 100 I vndirstood aboue eelde men; for Y souyte thi comaundementis. 101 I forbeed my feet fro al euel weie; that Y kepe thi wordis. 102 I bowide not fro thi domes; for thou hast set lawe to me. 103 Thi spechis ben ful swete to my cheekis; aboue hony to my mouth. 104 I vnderstood of thin heestis; therfor Y hatide al the weie of wickidnesse. 105 Thi word is a lanterne to my feet; and liyt to my pathis. 106 I swoor, and purposide stidefastli; to kepe the domes of thi riytfulnesse. 107 I am maad low bi alle thingis; Lord, quykene thou me bi thi word. 108 Lord, make thou wel plesinge the wilful thingis of my mouth; and teche thou me thi domes. 109 Mi soule is euere in myn hondis; and Y foryat not thi lawe. 110 Synneris settiden a snare to me; and Y erride not fro thi comaundementis. 111 I purchasside thi witnessyngis bi eritage with outen ende; for tho ben the ful ioiyng of myn herte. 112 I bowide myn herte to do thi iustifiyngis with outen ende; for reward. 113 I hatide wickid men; and Y louede thi lawe. 114 Thou art myn helpere, and my `taker vp; and Y hopide more on thi word. 115 Ye wickide men, bowe awei fro me; and Y schal seke the comaundementis of my God. 116 Vp take thou me bi thi word, and Y schal lyue; and schende thou not me fro myn abydyng. 117 Helpe thou me, and Y schal be saaf; and Y schal bithenke euere in thi iustifiyngis. 118 Thou hast forsake alle men goynge awey fro thi domes; for the thouyt of hem is vniust. 119 I arettide alle the synneris of erthe brekeris of the lawe; therfor Y louede thi witnessyngis. 120 Naile thou my fleischis with thi drede; for Y dredde of thi domes. 121 I dide doom and riytwisnesse; bitake thou not me to hem that falsli chalengen me. 122 Take vp thi seruaunt in to goodnesse; thei that ben proude chalenge not me. 123 Myn iyen failiden in to thin helthe; and in to the speche of thi riytfulnesse. 124 Do thou with thi seruaunt bi thi merci; and teche thou me thi iustifiyngis. 125 I am thi seruaunt, yyue thou vndurstondyng to me; that Y kunne thi witnessingis. 126 Lord, it is tyme to do; thei han distried thi lawe. 127 Therfor Y louede thi comaundementis; more than gold and topazion. 128 Therfor Y was dressid to alle thin heestis; Y hatide al wickid weie. 129 Lord, thi witnessingis ben wondirful; therfor my soule souyte tho. 130 Declaring of thi wordis liytneth; and yyueth vnderstonding to meke men. 131 I openede my mouth, and drouy the spirit; for Y desiride thi comaundementis. 132 Biholde thou on me, and haue merci on me; bi the dom of hem that louen thi name. 133 Dresse thou my goyingis bi thi speche; that al vnriytfulnesse haue not lordschip on me. 134 Ayeyn bie thou me fro the false chalengis of men; that Y kepe thin heestis. 135 Liytne thi face on thi seruaunt; and teche thou me thi iustifiyngis. 136 Myn iyen ledden forth the outgoynges of watris; for thei kepten not thi lawe. 137 Lord, thou art iust; and thi dom is riytful. 138 Thou hast comaundid riytfulnesse, thi witnessingis; and thi treuthe greetli to be kept. 139 Mi feruent loue made me to be meltid; for myn enemys foryaten thi wordis. 140 Thi speche is greetli enflawmed; and thi seruaunt louede it. 141 I am yong, and dispisid; Y foryat not thi iustifiyngis. 142 Lord, thi riytfulnesse is riytfulnesse with outen ende; and thi lawe is treuthe. 143 Tribulacioun and angwische founden me; thin heestis is my thenking. 144 Thi witnessyngis is equite with outen ende; yyue thou vndirstondyng to me, and Y schal lyue. 145 I criede in al myn herte, Lord, here thou me; and Y schal seke thi iustifiyngis. 146 I criede to thee, make thou me saaf; that Y kepe thi comaundementis. 147 I bifor cam in ripenesse, and Y criede; Y hopide aboue on thi wordis. 148 Myn iyen bifor camen to thee ful eerli; that Y schulde bithenke thi speches. 149 Lord, here thou my vois bi thi merci; and quykene thou me bi thi doom. 150 Thei that pursuen me neiyden to wickidnesse; forsothe thei ben maad fer fro thi lawe. 151 Lord, thou art nyy; and alle thi weies ben treuthe. 152 In the bigynnyng Y knewe of thi witnessingis; for thou hast foundid tho with outen ende. 153 Se thou my mekenesse, and delyuere thou me; for Y foryat not thi lawe. 154 Deme thou my dom, and ayenbie thou me; quikene thou me for thi speche. 155 Heelthe is fer fro synners; for thei souyten not thi iustifiyngis. 156 Lord, thi mercies ben manye; quykene thou me bi thi dom. 157 Thei ben manye that pursuen me, and doen tribulacioun to me; Y bowide not awei fro thi witnessingis. 158 I siy brekers of the lawe, and Y was meltid; for thei kepten not thi spechis. 159 Lord, se thou, for Y louede thi comaundementis; quikene thou me in thi merci. 160 The bigynnyng of thi wordis is treuthe; alle the domes of thi riytwisnesse ben withouten ende. 161 Princes pursueden me with outen cause; and my herte dredde of thi wordis. 162 I schal be glad on thi spechis; as he that fyndith many spuylis. 163 I hatide and wlatide wickidnesse; forsothe Y louede thi lawe. 164 I seide heriyngis to thee seuene sithis in the dai; on the domes of thi riytfulnesse. 165 Miche pees is to hem that louen thi lawe; and no sclaundir is to hem. 166 Lord, Y abood thin heelthe; and Y louede thin heestis. 167 Mi soule kepte thi witnessyngis; and louede tho greetli. 168 I kepte thi `comaundementis, and thi witnessingis; for alle my weies ben in thi siyt. 169 Lord, my biseching come niy in thi siyt; bi thi speche yyue thou vndurstonding to me. 170 Myn axing entre in thi siyt; bi thi speche delyuere thou me. 171 Mi lippis schulen telle out an ympne; whanne thou hast tauyte me thi iustifiyngis. 172 Mi tunge schal pronounce thi speche; for whi alle thi comaundementis ben equite. 173 Thin hond be maad, that it saue me; for Y haue chose thin heestis. 174 Lord, Y coueitide thin heelthe; and thi lawe is my thenking. 175 Mi soule schal lyue, and schal herie thee; and thi domes schulen helpe me. 176 I erride as a scheep that perischide; Lord, seke thi seruaunt, for Y foryat not thi comaundementis.
