He fulli ioyede, as a giaunt, to renne his weie;[7]his goynge out was fro hiyeste heuene. And his goyng ayen was to the hiyeste therof; and noon is that hidith hym silf fro his heet.[8]The lawe of the Lord is with out wem, and conuertith soulis; the witnessyng of the Lord is feithful, and yyueth wisdom to litle children.[9]The riytfulnessis of the Lord ben riytful, gladdynge hertis; the comaundement of the Lord is cleere, liytnynge iyen.[10]The hooli drede of the Lord dwellith in to world of world; the domes of the Lord ben trewe, iustified in to hem silf.[11]Desirable more than gold, and a stoon myche preciouse; and swettere than hony and honycoomb.[12]`Forwhi thi seruaunt kepith thoo; myche yeldyng is in tho to be kept.[13]Who vndurstondith trespassis? make thou me cleene fro my priuy synnes;[14]and of alien synnes spare thi seruaunt. `If the forseid defautis ben not, Lord, of me, than Y schal be with out wem; and Y schal be clensid of the mooste synne.[15]And the spechis of my mouth schulen be, that tho plese; and the thenkynge of myn herte euere in thi siyt.
