1Ic me to Drihtne deorum cleopode,
þonne me costunga cnysdon geneahhe,
and he me gehyrde holde mode.
2Alys mine sawle, lifes Drihten,
of þam welerum þe wom cweðen,
and from þære tungan þe teosu wylle.
3Hwæt bið þe ealles seald oþþe eced swa
from þære inwitfullan yflan tungan?
4Strele beoð scearpe, strange and mihtige,
syððan of gledon wesað gearwe ahyrde.
5Wa me þære wyrde, þæt min wynn alæg
and min bigengea gewat bryce on feorweg;
sceal ic eard niman, swa me eðe nis,
mid Cedaringum; 6nis min cyð þær,

7Mid þam þe hi sibbe swyþost feodan,
ic sibbe mid him soðe hæfde;
þonne ic him spedlice to spræce and hi lærde,
ðonne me earwunga ealle onfuhtan.
