2 Myn help is of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.
3 The Lord yyue not thi foot in to mouyng; nether he nappe, that kepith thee.
4 Lo! he schal not nappe, nether slepe; that kepith Israel.
5 The Lord kepith thee; the Lord is thi proteccioun aboue thi riythond.
6 The sunne schal not brenne thee bi dai; nether the moone bi nyyt.
7 The Lord kepe thee fro al yuel; the Lord kepe thi soule.
8 The Lord kepe thi goyng in and thi goyng out; fro this tyme now and in to the world.
