| 1 | Yt anoieth my soule of my lijf; Y schal lete my speche ayens me, Y schal speke in the bitternesse of my soule. |
| 2 | Y schal seie to God, Nyle thou condempne me; schewe thou to me, whi thou demest me so. |
| 3 | Whether it semeth good to thee, if thou `falsli chalengist and oppressist me, the werk of thin hondis; and if thou helpist the counsel of wickid men? |
| 4 | Whethir fleischli iyen ben to thee, ethir, as a man seeth, also thou schalt se? |
| 5 | Whether thi daies ben as the daies of man, and `thi yeeris ben as mannus tymes; |
| 6 | that thou enquere my wickidnesse, and enserche my synne? |
| 7 | And wite, that Y haue do no `wickid thing; sithen no man is, that may delyuere fro thin hond? |
| 8 | Thin hondis han maad me, and han formed me al in cumpas; and thou castist me doun so sodeynli. |
| 9 | Y preye, haue thou mynde, that thou madist me as cley, and schalt brynge me ayen in to dust. |
| 10 | Whether thou hast not mylkid me as mylk, and hast cruddid me togidere as cheese? |
| 11 | Thou clothidist me with skyn and fleisch; thou hast ioyned me togidere with boonys and senewis. |
| 12 | Thou hast youe lijf and mercy to me, and thi visiting hath kept my spirit. |
| 13 | Thouy thou helist these thingis in thin herte, netheles Y woot, that thou hast mynde of alle thingis. |
| 14 | If Y dide synne, and thou sparidist me at an our; whi suffrist thou not me to be cleene of my wickidnesse? |
| 15 | And if Y was wickid, wo is to me; and if Y was iust, Y fillid with turment and wretchidnesse `schal not reise the heed. |
| 16 | And if Y reise `the heed for pride, thou schalt take me as a lionesse; and thou turnest ayen, and turmentist me wondirli. |
| 17 | Thou gaderist in store thi witnessis ayens me, and thou multipliest thin yre, `that is, veniaunce, ayens me; and peynes holden knyythod in me. |
| 18 | Whi hast thou led me out of the wombe? `And Y wolde, that Y were wastid, lest an iye `schulde se me. |
| 19 | That Y hadde be, as if Y were not, and `were translatid, ethir borun ouer, fro the wombe to the sepulcre. |
| 20 | Whether the fewnesse of my daies schal not be endid in schort? Therfor suffre thou me, that Y biweile `a litil my sorewe, |
| 21 | bifor that Y go, and turne not ayen, to the derk lond, and hilid with the derknesse of deth, to the lond of wrecchidnesse and of derknessis; |
| 22 | where is schadewe of deeth, and noon ordre, but euerlastynge hidousnesse dwellith. |
