1Ic andette ecum Drihtne,
georne ðam gleawan, forðan ic hine gōdne wat;
for þon he his mildheortnysse mannum cyðde,
on ðysse worulde wis gestandeð.
2Hwylc mæg æfre mihta Drihtnes
asprecan and aspyrian, oððe spedlice
eall his lofmægen leode gehyran
and his gehyrnesse her oncnawan?
3Eadige beoð æghwær, þa ðe a wyllað
soðe domas sylfe efnan,
on ealle tid æghwæs healdan
heora soðfæstnysse symble mid dædum.
4Gemune us, Drihten, on modsefan
forð hycgende folces þines,
and us mid hælo her geneosa.
5And us tidlice teala sceawige,
ceose mid gecorenum, þenden we cwice lifgen,
þæt we mid þinre ðeode þær blissian
and þæt yrfe þin æghwær herige.
6We gefyrnedan mid urum fæderum ær,
and we unsoðfæste ealle wæron
and unrihtes æghwær worhtan.
7Fæderas ure fæste ne oncneowan
ealle þa wundor þe ðu on Egyptum
worhtest wræclice, wundor unlytel;
næron hi gemyndige miltsa þinra,
þa ðu him on ðære mægðe manige cyðdest.
Hi bysmredan, þa hi on brad wæter
on þone readan sæ randas bæron,
8þær ðu hi alysdest, lifes ealdor,
and hi generedest on naman þinum,
þa ðu þine miht mycle cyðdest.
9Þær ðu readne sæ ricene geðywdest,
and þær wæron þa wareðas drige,
and hi betweonum wætera weallas læddest,
swa hi on westenne wæron on drigum.
10Swa hi alysde lifes ealdor
of heora feonda fæcnum handum,
and of feogendra folmum swylce,
11and heora feondas flod adrencte,
þæt þæra æfre ne com an spellboda.
12Syððan hi his wordon wel gelyfdan
and him lofsangum lustum cwemdan,
13and þæs eft hraðe ealle forgeaton,
weorca wræclicra; na hi wel syþþan

14Hi on westenne wraðe ongunnan

heora godes þær geare costedan.
15He him been sniome brohte and sealde,
sende on heora muþas mete to genihte.
16Ongunnon hi on þam wicum wraðe swylce

and Aaron mid eac þone halgan.
17Þa eorðe togaan and eall forswealh

and Abirones eall ætgædere.
18Þær fyr abarn frecne swylce
on heora gemetinge, and þær maansceaðan
þa synfullan sniome forbærnde
19Hi on Choreb swylce cealf ongunnan
him to godgylde georne wyrcean,
20onwendan heora wuldor on þæne wyrsan had
hæðenstyrces hig etendes.
21Godes hi forgeaton, þe hi of gramra ær
feonda folmum frecne generede,
þe on Egyptum æðele wundur
22and on Chananea cymu worhte
and recene wundur on þam readan sæ.
23Þa hi wolde toweorpan wuldres aldor,
þær heora Moyses mægene ne hulpe;
he þæt folc forstod feonda mægene;
forðon he him his yrre of acyrde,
þæt he hi ne towurpe geond werþeoda.
24Ne hi for awyht eorþan cyste
þa selestan geseon woldan,
ne his wordum eac woldan gelyfan;
25ac hi granedan and grame spræcan,
noldan his wordum wel gehyran.
26He his handa ahof and hi hraðe wolde
on þam westenne wide todrifan
27and heora swæs cynn sendan on wid land.
28Hi Belphegor bædon are,
æton deadra lac, swa hit gedefe ne wæs.
29And hi bysmredon bealde Drihten
on heora gemetincge mægene ealle,
and þær healicne on hryre gefremedan.
30Hi þæs feondætes Finees awerede,
þa he on þam folce feondgyld gebræc;
31he þæs hæl gehleat and helpe fand
of cynna gehwam and on cneorisse.
32Eac hi gefremedan oðer bysmer,
þær hi wiðercwyde wæteres hæfdon;
þær Moyses wearð mægene gebysgad
for heora yfelum, swa he oftor wæs,
33on his gaste gram; ne mihte him godes willan
mid his welerum wisne getæcean.
34Noldan hi toworpan wraðe þeode,
swa him Drihten ær dema sægde,
35ac hi wið mānfullum mengdan þeode
and leornedan lað weorc gode
36and sceuccgyldum swyþe guldan;
him þæt eall gewearð to æswyce.
37Ongunnan heora bearn blotan feondum,
sceuccum onsæcgean suna and dohter;
38agutan blod swylce bearna feala,
þa unscyldige ealle wærun,
syðþan hi gecuran Chananea god.
Þanon eorþe wearð eall mid blode
māne gemenged, misdædum fah.
39Eall hi forheoldan heahweorc godes;
40forðan him yrre wearð ece Drihten
and he his yrfe eall forhogode.
41He hi on handgeweald hæðenum sealde
and heora weoldan, þa him wyrrest ær
on feondscipe fæste gestodon.
42Heora costedan cuþe feondas
and under handum hynþe þoledan;
43hi alysde oft lifes ealdor.
Hi hine on geþeahte oft abylgdan;
wæron on unrihtum oft gehynde.
44Swa he furðum oncneow, þæt heora fynd ehtan,
he heora bene bealde gehyrde.
45Þonne he his wordgebeot well gemunde;
hreaw hine sona, þonne hi hynþa drugan,
æfter his miltsa menigu gōdes.
46Syððan he him sealde sona miltse,
þær hi on gesawon ealle ætgædere,
þe ehtend him ær gestodan.
47Do us hale nu, halig Drihten,
and us, se gōda God, georne gesamna
of widwegum, þær we wean dreogað,
þæt we þinne naman nede motan
þone halgestan her andettan
and we on lofe þinum lungre weorðan
ofer werðeode wuldre geherede.
48Wese Israhela God aa gebletsad
on worulda woruld, wealdend Drihten,
and þæt fægere becweðe folca æghwylc;
wese swa, wese swa þurh eall wide ferhð.
