1 The title of the oon and thrittithe salm. Lernyng to Dauid. Blessid ben thei, whose wickidnessis ben foryouun; and whose synnes ben hilid.
2 Blessid is the man, to whom the Lord arrettide not synne; nethir gile is in his spirit.
3 For Y was stille, my boonys wexiden elde; while Y criede al dai.
4 For bi dai and nyyt thin hond was maad greuouse on me; Y am turned in my wretchednesse, while the thorn is set in.
5 I made my synne knowun to thee; and Y hidde not my vnriytfulnesse. I seide, Y schal knouleche ayens me myn vnriytfulnesse to the Lord; and thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of my synne.
