[1]The title of the sixte and eiytetithe salm. `The salm of the song of the sones of Chore. [1]A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.
[2]the Lord loueth the yatis of Sion, more than alle the tabernaclis of Jacob. [2]Keep my soul, for I am godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.
[3]Thou citee of God, with outen ende; gloriouse thingis ben seide of thee. [3]Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto Thee do I cry all the day.
[4]I schal be myndeful of Raab, and Babiloyne; knowynge me. Lo! aliens, and Tyre, and the puple of Ethiopiens; thei weren there. [4]Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
[5]Whether a man schal seie to Sion, And a man is born ther ynne; and that man altherhiyeste foundide it? [5]For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to pardon, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.
[6]The Lord schal telle in the scripturis of puplis; and of these princis, that weren ther ynne. [6]Give ear, O ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, unto my prayer; and attend unto the voice of my supplications.
[7]As the dwellyng `of alle that ben glad; is in thee. [7]In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me.
8[No verse] [8]There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, and there are no works like Thine.
9[No verse] [9]All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify Thy name.
10[No verse] [10]For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things; Thou art God alone.
11[No verse] [11]Teach me, O ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth; make one my heart to fear Thy name.
12[No verse] [12]I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify Thy name for evermore.
13[No verse] [13]For great is Thy mercy toward me; and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lo nether-world.
14[No verse] [14]O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set Thee before them.
15[No verse] [15]But Thou, O Lord, art a God full o compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16[No verse] [16]O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thy handmaid.
17[No verse] [17]Work in my behalf a sign for good; that they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because Thou, ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, hast helped me, and comforted me.
