[1]O God the Lord of [all] auengeaunce: the Lorde of [all] auengeaunce shewe thy [glorious maiestie. |
| [2]Bifore ocupie we his face in knowleching; and hertli synge we to him in salmes. |
[2]Be exalted O thou iudge of the world: and rewarde the proude after their deseruyng |
| [3]For God is a greet Lord, and a greet king aboue alle goddis; for the Lord schal not putte awei his puple. |
[3]O God howe long shall the vngodly: howe long shall the vngodly triumph |
| [4]For alle the endis of erthe ben in his hond; and the hiynesses of hillis ben hise. |

[6]They murther the wyddowe and the straunger: & put the fatherlesse to death |
| [7]for he is oure Lord God. And we ben the puple of his lesewe; and the scheep of his hond. |

| [8]If ye han herd his vois to dai; nyle ye make hard youre hertis. |
[8]Understande ye vnwyse among the people: O ye fooles, when wyll ye be well aduised |
| [9]As in the terryng to wraththe; bi the dai of temptacioun in desert. Where youre fadris temptiden me; thei preueden and sien my werkis. |
[9]He that hath planted the eare, shall he not heare? yf he shapeth the eye, shall he not see |
| [10]Fourti yeer I was offendid to this generacioun; and Y seide, Euere thei erren in herte. |
[10]He that chasteneth the heathen, shall not he punishe? it is he that teacheth man knowledge |
| [11]And these men knewen not my weies; to whiche Y swoor in myn ire, thei schulen not entre in to my reste. |
[11]God knoweth the thoughtes of man: that they are but vanitie |
| 12[No verse] |
[12]Blessed is the man O Lorde, whom thou wylt chasten: and whom thou wylt instruct in thy lawe |
| 13[No verse] |
[13]That thou mayest geue hym patience in tyme of aduersitie: vntyll the pyt be digged vp for the vngodly |

| 21[No verse] |
[21]They flocke together agaynst the soule of the ryghteous: and condemne the innocent blood |

| 23[No verse] |
[23]And he wyll recompence them their wickednesse, and destroy them in their owne malice: God our Lorde wyll destroy them |
