[3] Lord, haue thou merci on me, for Y am sijk; Lord, make thou me hool, for alle my boonys ben troblid.

[5] Lord, be thou conuertid, and delyuere my soule; make thou me saaf, for thi merci.
[6] For noon is in deeth, which is myndful of thee; but in helle who schal knouleche to thee?
[7] I traueilide in my weilyng, Y schal waische my bed bi ech nyyt; Y schal moiste, `ether make weet, my bedstre with my teeris.
[8] Myn iye is disturblid of woodnesse; Y waxe eld among alle myn enemyes.
[9] Alle ye that worchen wickidnesse, departe fro me; for the Lord hath herd the vois of my wepyng.
[10] The Lord hath herd my bisechyng; the Lord hath resseyued my preier.
