14Thei openyden her mouth on me; as doith a lioun rauyschynge and rorynge.
15I am sched out as watir; and alle my boonys ben scaterid. Myn herte is maad, as wex fletynge abrood; in the myddis of my wombe.
16Mi vertu driede as a tiyl stoon, and my tunge cleuede to my chekis; and thou hast brouyt forth me in to the dust of deth.
17For many doggis cumpassiden me; the counsel of wickid men bisegide me. Thei delueden myn hondis and my feet;
18thei noumbriden alle my boonys. Sotheli thei lokiden, and bihelden me;
19thei departiden my clothis to hem silf, and thei senten lot on my cloth.
20But thou, Lord, delaie not thin help fro me; biholde thou to my defence.
21God, delyuere thou my lijf fro swerd; and delyuere thou myn oon aloone fro the hond of the dogge.
22Make thou me saaf fro the mouth of a lioun; and my mekenesse fro the hornes of vnycornes.
23I schal telle thi name to my britheren; Y schal preise thee in the myddis of the chirche.
24Ye that dreden the Lord, herie hym; alle the seed of Jacob, glorifie ye hym.
25Al the seed of Israel drede hym; for he forsook not, nethir dispiside the preier of a pore man. Nethir he turnede awei his face fro me; and whanne Y criede to hym, he herde me.
26Mi preisyng is at thee in a greet chirche; Y schal yelde my vowis in the siyt of men dredynge hym.
27Pore men schulen ete, and schulen be fillid, and thei schulen herie the Lord, that seken hym; the hertis of hem schulen lyue in to the world of world.
28Alle the endis of erthe schulen bithenke; and schulen be conuertid to the Lord. And alle the meynees of hethene men; schulen worschipe in his siyt.
29For the rewme is the Lordis; and he schal be Lord of hethene men.
30Alle the fatte men of erthe eeten and worschipiden; alle men, that goen doun in to erthe, schulen falle doun in his siyt.
31And my soule schal lyue to hym; and my seed schal serue him.
32A generacioun to comyng schal be teld to the Lord; and heuenes schulen telle his riytfulnesse to the puple that schal be borun, whom the Lord made.
