[6] Lord, thi merci is in heuene; and thi treuthe is `til to cloudis.
[7] Thi riytfulnesse is as the hillis of God; thi domes ben myche depthe of watris. Lord, thou schalt saue men and beestis;
[8] as thou, God, hast multiplied thi merci. But the sones of men; schulen hope in the hilyng of thi wyngis.

[11] Lord, sette forth thi mercy to hem, that knowen thee; and thi ryytfulnesse to hem that ben of riytful herte.

[13] There thei felden doun, that worchen wickidnesse; thei ben cast out, and myyten not stonde.
