| 1 | The preier of Abacuk, the profete, for vnkunnynge men. Lord, Y herde thin heryng, and Y dredde; |
| 2 | Lord, it is thi werk, in the myddil of yeeris quykene thou it. In the middil of yeeris thou schalt make knowun; whanne thou schalt be wrooth, thou schalt haue mynde of mercy. |
| 3 | God schal come fro the south, and the hooli fro the mount of Faran. The glorie of hym kyueride heuenes, and the erthe is ful of his heriyng. |
| 4 | The schynyng of hym schal be as liyt; hornes in hondis of hym. |
| 5 | There the strengthe of hym was hid, deth schal go bifore his face; the deuel schal go out bifore hise feet. |
| 6 | He stood, and mat the erthe; he bihelde, and vnboond folkis, and hillis of the world weren al to-brokun; the litle hillis of the world weren bowid doun, of the weies of his euerlastyngnesse. |
| 7 | For wickidnesse Y saiy the tentis of Ethiope, the skynnes of the lond of Madian schulen be troblid. |
| 8 | Lord, whether in floodis thou art wrooth, ether in floodis is thi strong veniaunce, ether in the see is thin indignacioun? Which shalt stie on thin horsis; and thi foure horsid cartis is saluacioun. |
| 9 | Thou reisynge schalt reise thi bouwe, othis to lynagis whiche thou hast spoke; thou schalt departe the floodis of erthe. |
| 10 | Watris saien thee, and hillis sorewiden, the goter of watris passide; depnesse yaf his vois, hiynesse reiside hise hondis. |
| 11 | The sunne and moone stoden in her dwellyng place; in the liyt of thin arowis thei schulen go, in the schynyng of thi spere glisnynge. |
| 12 | In gnastyng thou schalt defoule erthe, and in strong veniaunce thou schalt astonye folkis. |
| 13 | Thou art gon out in to helthe of thi puple, in to helthe with thi crist; thou hast smyte the heed of the hous of the vnpitouse man, thou hast maad nakid the foundement til to the necke. |
| 14 | Thou cursidist the ceptris, ether powers, of hym, the heed of hise fiyteris, to men comynge as whirlewynde for to scatere me; the ioiyng withoutforth of hem, as of hym that deuourith a pore man in hidlis. |
| 15 | Thou madist a weie in the see to thin horsis, in clei of many watris. |
| 16 | Y herde, and my wombe is troblid togidere; my lippis trembliden togidere of the vois. Rot entre in my boonys, and sprenge vndur me; that Y reste ayen in the dai of tribulacioun, and Y schal stie vp to oure puple gird togidere. |
| 17 | For the fige tre schal not floure, and buriownyng schal not be in vynyerdis; the werk of olyue tre schal lie, and feeldis schulen not brynge mete; a scheep schal be kit awei fro the fold, and droue schal not be in cratchis. |
| 18 | Forsothe Y schal haue ioye in the Lord, and Y schal make ioie with outforth in God my Jhesu. |
| 19 | God the Lord is my strengthe, and he schal putte my feet as of hertis; and on myn hiye thingis, the ouercomere schal lede forth me, syngynge in salmes. |
