1Ðu min gebed, mære Drihten,

3For ðon dagas mine gedroren syndan

4Ic eom hege gelic, þam þe hraðe weornað,

8Hwæt, me ealne dæg edwitspræce on

9For ðon ic anlic ætt æscean hlafe,

14For þon þæs þancunga þine scealcas

for ðon þe þu stiðlice stanum and eorðan

16Eft timbrade ece Drihten
and gesette Sion þurh his sylfes miht,

17Oft he þearfendra bene ðance gehyrde,
and he ne forhogode heora hold gebed.
18Ða wislice awriten standað
and on cneoressum cyðed syndan,
þæt he folc gesceop; fægere Drihten

19For ðon he fæstlice forð locade
of his þam hean halgan setle;

20He þa gehyrde heahgnornunge

and ða bealdlice bearn alysde

21Þonne byð on Sione sægd soð nama Drihtnes,
and his lof swylce, leoda bearnum,

22Cumað folc syððan feorran togædere
and ricu eac, þæt hraðe Drihtne
ful holdlice hyran syþþan.
23He him andwyrdeð eallum sona

24þæt þu me meaht on midle minra dagena

earon þines anes gear awa to feore.
25Æt fruman þu, Drihten, geworhtest

þæt is heahgeweorc handa þinra.
26Sweotule þa forweorðað and ðu sylf wunast;
eall forwisnað wædum anlice,
and ðu hi onwendest, swa man wrigels deð,
and hi beoð to worulde wended syþþan.
27Þu þonne byst se ilea, se þu ær wære;
ne beoð winter þin wiht ðe sæmran.
28Bearn þinra scealca her bu namon,
and þær eardedan ealle þrage,
and heora sylfra cynn syððan to feore
on worulda woruld well gerehtest.
