| title | 37:1 The title of the seuene and thrittithe salm. `The salm of Dauid, to bythenke on the sabat. |
| 1 | 37:2 Lord, repreue thou not me in thi strong veniaunce; nether chastice thou me in thin ire. |
| 2 | 37:3 For thin arowis ben fitchid in me; and thou hast confermed thin hond on me. |
| 3 | 37:4 Noon helthe is in my fleisch fro the face of thin ire; no pees is to my boonys fro the face of my synnes. |
| 4 | 37:5 For my wickidnessis ben goon ouer myn heed; as an heuy birthun, tho ben maad heuy on me. |
| 5 | 37:6 Myn heelid woundis weren rotun, and ben brokun; fro the face of myn vnwisdom. |
| 6 | 37:7 I am maad a wretche, and Y am bowid doun til in to the ende; al dai Y entride sorewful. |
| 7 | 37:8 For my leendis ben fillid with scornyngis; and helthe is not in my fleisch. |
| 8 | 37:9 I am turmentid, and maad low ful greetli; Y roride for the weilyng of myn herte. |
| 9 | 37:10 Lord, al my desire is bifor thee; and my weilyng is not hid fro thee. |
| 10 | 37:11 Myn herte is disturblid in me, my vertu forsook me; and the liyt of myn iyen `forsook me, and it is not with me. |
| 11 | 37:12 My frendis and my neiyboris neiyiden; and stoden ayens me. And thei that weren bisidis me stoden afer; |
| 12 | 37:13 and thei diden violence, that souyten my lijf. And thei that souyten yuels to me, spaken vanytees; and thouyten gilis al dai. |
| 13 | 37:14 But Y as a deef man herde not; and as a doumb man not openynge his mouth. |
| 14 | 37:15 And Y am maad as a man not herynge; and not hauynge repreuyngis in his mouth. |
| 15 | 37:16 For, Lord, Y hopide in thee; my Lord God, thou schalt here me. |
| 16 | 37:17 For Y seide, Lest ony tyme myn enemyes haue ioye on me; and the while my feet ben mouyd, thei spaken grete thingis on me. |
| 17 | 37:18 For Y am redi to betyngis; and my sorewe is euere in my siyt. |
| 18 | 37:19 For Y schal telle my wickidnesse; and Y schal thenke for my synne. |
| 19 | 37:20 But myn enemyes lyuen, and ben confermed on me; and thei ben multiplyed, that haten me wickidli. |
| 20 | 37:21 Thei that yelden yuels for goodis, backbitiden me; for Y suede goodnesse. |
| 21 | 37:22 My Lord God, forsake thou not me; go thou not awei fro me. |
| 22 | 37:23 Lord God of myn helthe; biholde thou in to myn help. |
