| 1 | Mi spirit schal be maad feble; my daies schulen be maad schort, and oneli the sepulcre is left to me. |
| 2 | Y have not synned, and myn iye dwellith in bittirnessis. |
| 3 | Lord, delyuere thou me, and sette thou me bisidis thee; and the hond of ech fiyte ayens me. |
| 4 | Thou hast maad the herte of hem fer fro doctryn, `ethir knowyng of treuthe; therfor thei schulen not be enhaunsid. |
| 5 | He bihetith prey to felowis, and the iyen of hise sones schulen faile. |
| 6 | He hath set as in to a prouerbe of the comyn puple, and his saumple bifor hem. |
| 7 | Myn `iye dasewide at indignacioun; and my membris ben dryuun as in to nouyt. |
| 8 | Iust men schulen wondre on this thing; and an innocent schal be reisid ayens an ypocrite. |
| 9 | And a iust man schal holde his weie, and he schal adde strengthe to clene hondis. |
| 10 | Therfor alle `ye be conuertid, and come ye; and Y schal not fynde in you ony wiys man. |
| 11 | My daies ben passid; my thouytis ben scaterid, turmentynge myn herte. |
| 12 | Tho han turned the nyyt `in to day; and eft aftir derknessis hope liyt. |
| 13 | If Y `susteyne, ether suffre pacientli, helle is myn hous; and Y haue arayede my bed in derknessis. |
| 14 | Y seide to rot, Thou art my fadur; and to wormes, Ye ben my modir and my sister. |
| 15 | Therfor where is now myn abidyng? and who biholdith my pacience? |
| 16 | Alle my thingis schulen go doun in to deppeste helle; gessist thou, whether reste schal be to me, nameli there. |
