[5] I wolde that my weies be dressid; to kepe thi iustifiyngis.
[6] Thanne Y schal not be schent; whanne Y schal biholde perfitli in alle thin heestis.

[8] I schal kepe thi iustifiyngis; forsake thou not me on ech side.
[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.
[14] I delitide in the weie of thi witnessingis; as in alle richessis.
[15] I schal be ocupied in thin heestis; and Y schal biholde thi weies.
[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.
[19] I am a comeling in erthe; hide thou not thin heestis fro me.
[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.
[28] Mi soule nappide for anoye; conferme thou me in thi wordis.
[29] Remoue thou fro me the weie of wickidnesse; and in thi lawe haue thou merci on me.
