1Ic on ðyssum eom eallum bliðe,
þæt me cuðlice to acweden syndon,
and on Godes hus gange syððan.
2Wæron fæststealle fotas mine
on þinum cafertunum, þær ure cyðð wæs,
on Hierusalem geara ærest.
3Hierusalem, geara ðu wære
swa swa cymlic ceaster getimbred,
þær syndon dælas on sylfre hire.
4Þær cneorisse cende wæron
cynn æfter cynne; cuðan þa Drihten
and on þære gewitnesse wæran Israelas,
þe his naman neode sceoldon
him andetnes æghwær habban.
5Oft hi þær on seldon sæton æt domum;
þu eart ðonne dema, Dauides hus,
þæt on heofenum siteþ heah gestaðelod.
6Biddað eow bealde beorhtere sibbe,
ða ðe on Hierusalem gōde syndan;
and geniht agun, þa þe neode þe
on heora lufun lustum healdað.
7Si þe on þinum mægene sib mæst and fyrmest,
and on þinum torrum wese tidum genihtsum.
8For mine broðru ic bidde nu,
and mine þa neahstan nemne swylce
þæt we sibbe on ðe symble habbon.
9And ic for mines Godes huse georne þingie,
and to minum Drihtne deorum sece,
þæt ic gōd æt him begitan mote.
