3 Haue thou mercy on me; and here thou my preier. Sones of men, hou long ben ye of heuy herte? whi louen ye vanite, and seken a leesyng?
4 And wite ye, that the Lord hath maad merueilous his hooli man; the Lord schal here me, whanne Y schal crye to hym.
5 Be ye wrothe, and nyle ye do synne; `and for tho thingis whiche ye seien in youre hertis and in youre beddis, be ye compunct.
6 Sacrifie ye `the sacrifice of riytfulnesse, and hope ye in the Lord; many seien, Who schewide goodis to vs?
7 Lord, the liyt of thi cheer is markid on vs; thou hast youe gladnesse in myn herte.
8 Thei ben multiplied of the fruit of whete, and of wyn; and of her oile.
9 In pees in the same thing; Y schal slepe, and take reste.
10 For thou, Lord; hast set me syngulerli in hope.
