O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
Lord, riytfulnesse is to þee, forsoþe schenschipe of face is to vs, as is to dai to a man of Juda, and to þe dwelleris of Jerusalem, and to al Israel, to þese men þat ben niy, and to þese men þat ben afer in alle londis, to which thou castidist hem out for þe wickidnessis of hem, in whiche, Lord, þei synneden ayens þee.
