1Ic andette ecum Dryhtne
þam gōdan Gode; ic hine gleawne wat;
ys his mildheortnys mycel to worulde.
2Þæt Israela cwæðan ealle nu ða,
þe he is se gōda God, and gearu standeð
his mildheortnys mære to worulde.
3Cweðe Aarones hus eac þæt sylfe;
he ys se gōda God, and gearu standeð
his mildheortnys mære to worulde.
4Cweðan ealle þæt unforcuðe,
þe him on standeð egsa Dryhtnes;
forðon he ys se gōda God, and gearu standeð
his mildheortnys mære on worulde.
5Ic on costunge cigde to Dryhtne,
and he me gehyrde on heare brædu.
6Nu me fultum is fæle Dryhten,
nis me ege mannes for ahwæðer.
7Nu me fultum ys fæle Dryhten,
ic fracuþe forseo feondas mine.
8Gōd ys on Dryhten georne to þenceanne,
þonne on mannan wese mod to treowianne.
9Gōd ys on Dryhten georne to hyhtanne,
þonne on ealdormen ahwær to treowianne.
10Ealle me ymbsealdon side þeode,
and ic wæs on Dryhtnes naman deorum gehæled.
11Me ymbstodan strange manige,
and me Godes nama on him georne gehælde.
12Þa hi me ymbsealdon samod anlice
swa beon bitere, oððe þu bærne eac
þornas þyre þicce fyre,
þær me nama Dryhtnes neode scylde.
13Ic wæs hearde cnyssed and ic me helpe fand,
þæt ic fæste ne feoll, ac ic me frofre begeat,
þa me Dryhten onfeng, swa hit gedefe wæs.
14Me wæs strengðu strang stiþ on Dryhtne
and herenes heah, and he me eac
ys a to worulde worden on hælu.
15A byð blisse stefn beorht gehyred
on soðfæstra swæsum muðe.
16Dyde gedefe mægen Dryhtnes swyðre,
and me seo swyðre swylce Drihtnes
ahof hrædlice æt heahþearfe.
17Ne swelte ic mid sare, ac ic gesund lifige
and weorc godes wide secge.
18Se#118:18 O'Neill suggests emendation to Me clænsude, se þe him clæne wæs;
Dryhten ælmihtig nolde to deaðe me
on ecnysse æfre gesyllan.
19Undoð me sniome duru soðfæstra eac,
þær ic gange inn, Gode andette;
20soðfæste on þa duru seceað inngang.
21Ic þe andette, ece Dryhten,
forðon þu me gehyrdest æt heahþearfe
and me þa gewurde wis on hælu.
22Þone sylfan stan þe hine swyðe ær
wyrhtan awurpan, nu se geworden is
hwommona heagost; 23halig Dryhten
to wealles wraðe wis teofrade;
þæt is urum eagum eall wundorlic.
24Þis ys se dæg þe hine Drihten us
wisfæst geworhte wera cneorissum,
eallum eorðtudrum eadgum to blisse.
25Eala þu Dryhten God, do me halne;
eala þu Dryhten min, do us gesunde.
26Gebletsad is, se þe com ofer bearna gehwylc
on Dryhtnes naman dædum mærum;
we eow æt Godes huse gearwe bletsiað,
27nu us Drihten God deore onlyhte.
Wutan us to symbeldæge settan georne,
and ðone gelome lustum healdan
oð wigbedes wræste hornas.
28Þu eart min Dryhten God,
and ic dædum þe ecne andette;
þu eart min hælend God, and ic herige ðe.
Ic ðe andette ecne Dryhten,
forðon þu me gehyrdest æt heahþearfe,
and þa wurde me wis to hælu.
29Eac ic andette eceum Dryhtne,
forðon he ys se gōda God, and ic ful geare wat,
þæt þin mildheortnyss ys mycel to worulde.
