[1] `The nyntithe salm. He that dwellith in the help of the hiyeste God; schal dwelle in the proteccioun of God of heuene.
[2] He schal seie to the Lord, Thou art myn vptaker, and my refuit; my God, Y schal hope in him.
[3] For he delyuered me fro the snare of hunteris; and fro a scharp word.
[4] With hise schuldris he schal make schadowe to thee; and thou schalt haue hope vnder hise fetheris.
[5] His treuthe schal cumpasse thee with a scheld; thou schalt not drede of nyytis drede.
[6] Of an arowe fliynge in the dai, of a gobelyn goynge in derknessis; of asailing, and a myddai feend.
[7] A thousynde schulen falle doun fro thi side, and ten thousynde fro thi riytside; forsothe it schal not neiye to thee.
[8] Netheles thou schalt biholde with thin iyen; and thou schalt se the yelding of synneris.
[9] For thou, Lord, art myn hope; thou hast set thin help altherhiyeste.
[10] Yuel schal not come to thee; and a scourge schal not neiye to thi tabernacle.
[11] For God hath comaundid to hise aungels of thee; that thei kepe thee in alle thi weies.
[12] Thei schulen beere thee in the hondis; leste perauenture thou hirte thi foot at a stoon.
[13] Thou schalt go on a snake, and a cocatrice; and thou schalt defoule a lioun and a dragoun.
[14] For he hopide in me, Y schal delyuere hym; Y schal defende him, for he knew my name.
[15] He criede to me, and Y schal here him, Y am with him in tribulacioun; Y schal delyuere him, and Y schal glorifie hym.
[16] I schal fille hym with the lengthe of daies; and Y schal schewe myn helthe to him.
[17] [No verse.]
