Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, when I contend with thee; yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?
Forsoþe, Lord, thou art iust; if Y dispute with þee, neþeles Y schal speke iust thingis to þee. Whi hath þe weie of wickid men prosperite? It is wel to alle men þat breken þe lawe, and doen wickidli?
