| 1 | Sotheli Joob answeride, and seide, |
| 2 | Now also my word is in bitternesse, and the hond of my wounde is agreggid on my weilyng. |
| 3 | Who yyueth to me, that Y knowe, and fynde hym, and come `til to his trone? |
| 4 | Y schal sette doom bifor hym, and Y schal fille my mouth with blamyngis; |
| 5 | that Y kunne the wordis, whiche he schal answere to me, and that Y vnderstonde, what he schal speke to me. |
| 6 | Y nyle, that he stryue with me bi greet strengthe, nether oppresse me with the heuynesse of his greetnesse. |
| 7 | Sette he forth equite ayens me, and my doom come perfitli to victorie. |
| 8 | If Y go to the eest, God apperith not; if Y go to the west, Y schal not vndurstonde hym; if Y go to the left side, |
| 9 | what schal Y do? Y schal not take hym; if Y turne me to the riyt side, Y schal not se hym. |
| 10 | But he knowith my weie, and he schal preue me as gold, that passith thorouy fier. |
| 11 | My foot suede hise steppis; Y kepte his weie, and Y bowide not awey fro it. |
| 12 | Y yede not awei fro the comaundementis of hise lippis; and Y hidde in my bosum the wordis of his mouth. |
| 13 | For he is aloone, and no man may turne awei hise thouytis; and what euer thing he wolde, his wille dide this thing. |
| 14 | Whanne he hath fillid his wille in me, also many othere lijk thingis ben redi to hym. |
| 15 | And therfor Y am disturblid of his face, and Y biholdynge hym am anguyschid for drede. |
| 16 | God hath maad neische myn herte, and Almyyti God hath disturblid me. |
| 17 | For Y perischide not for derknessis neiyynge; nethir myist hilide my face. |
