1 I bileuede, for which thing Y spak; forsoth Y was maad low ful myche.

2 I seide in my passing; Ech man is a lier.

3 What schal Y yelde to the Lord; for alle thingis which he yeldide to me?

4 I schal take the cuppe of heelthe; and Y schal inwardli clepe the name of the Lord.

5 I schal yelde my vowis to the Lord bifor al his puple;

6 the deth of seyntis of the Lord is precious in his siyt.

7 O! Lord, for Y am thi seruant; Y am thi seruaunt, and the sone of thi handmaide. Thou hast broke my bondys,

8 to thee Y schal offre a sacrifice of heriyng; and Y schal inwardli clepe the name of the Lord.

9 I schal yelde my vowis to the Lord, in the siyt of al his puple;

10 in the porchis of the hous of the Lord, in the myddil of thee, Jerusalem.
