O Jehovah, why dost thou make us to err from thy ways, and hardenest our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
Þou, Lord, art oure fadir, and oure ayenbiere; thi name is fro þe world. Lord, whi hast thou maad vs to erre fro thi weies? thou hast made hard oure herte, þat we dredden not þee? be thou conuertid, for thi seruauntis, þe lynages of thin eritage.
