1 Lede me forth in the path of thin heestis; for Y wolde it.
2 Bowe thou myn herte in to thi witnessingus; and not in to aueryce.</span> <span class="verse" data-verse="3"><sup>3</sup> Turne thou awei myn iyen, that tho seen not vanyte; quykene thou me in thi weie.
4 Ordeyne thi speche to thi seruaunt; in thi drede.
5 Kitte awey my schenschip, which Y supposide; for thi domes ben myrie.
6 Lo! Y coueitide thi comaundementis; quikene thou me in thin equite.
7 And, Lord, thi merci come on me; thin heelthe come bi thi speche.
8 And Y schal answere a word to men seiynge schenschipe to me; for Y hopide in thi wordis.
9 And take thou not awei fro my mouth the word of treuthe outerli; for Y hopide aboue in thi domes.
10 And Y schal kepe thi lawe euere; in to the world, and in to the world of world.
11 And Y yede in largenesse; for Y souyte thi comaundementis.
12 And Y spak of thi witnessyngis in the siyt of kingis; and Y was not schent.
13 And Y bithouyte in thin heestis; whiche Y louede.
14 And Y reiside myn hondis to thi comaundementis, whiche Y louede; and Y schal be excercisid in thi iustifiyngis.
15 Lord, haue thou mynde on thi word to thi seruaunt; in which word thou hast youe hope to me.
16 This coumfortide me in my lownesse; for thi word quikenede me.
17 Proude men diden wickidli bi alle thingis; but Y bowide not awei fro thi lawe.
18 Lord, Y was myndeful on thi domes fro the world; and Y was coumfortid.
