[5]I wolde that my weies be dressid; to kepe thi iustifiyngis.

[9]In what thing amendith a yong waxinge man his weie? in keping thi wordis.
[10]In al myn herte Y souyte thee; putte thou me not awei fro thin heestis.
[11]In myn herte Y hidde thi spechis; that Y do not synne ayens thee.
[12]Lord, thou art blessid; teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
[13]In my lippis Y haue pronounsid; alle the domes of thi mouth.

[16]I schal bithenke in thi iustifiyngis; Y schal not foryete thi wordis.
[17]Yelde to thi seruaunt; quiken thou me, and Y schal kepe thi wordis.
[18]Liytne thou myn iyen; and Y schal biholde the merueils of thi lawe.

[20]Mi soule coueitide to desire thi iustifiyngis; in al tyme.
[21]Thou blamedist the proude; thei ben cursid, that bowen awei fro thin heestis.
[22]Do thou awei `fro me schenschipe and dispising; for Y souyte thi witnessingis.
[23]For whi princis saten, and spaken ayens me; but thi seruaunt was exercisid in thi iustifiyngis.
[24]For whi and thi witnessyngis is my thenkyng; and my counsel is thi iustifiyngis.
[25]Mi soule cleuede to the pawment; quykine thou me bi thi word.
[26]I telde out my weies, and thou herdist me; teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
[27]Lerne thou me the weie of thi iustifiyngis; and Y schal be exercisid in thi merueils.

[29]Remoue thou fro me the weie of wickidnesse; and in thi lawe haue thou merci on me.
