1Nymþe us on wese ece Drihten,
cweþað Israhelas ealle nu ða,
2nymþe us eardige on awa Drihten,
Þonne us manfulle menn onginnað;
3wen is, þæt hi us lifigende lungre wyllen
sniome forsweolgan, gif hi swa magon.
Þonne us ðara manna mod yrsade,
and us wiðerwearde wæron geneahhe;
4wen is, þæt hi us woldan wætre gelice
sona gesupan, gif hit swa wolde.
5Oft ure sawl swyþe frecne
hlimman gedegde hludes wæteres;
wene ic for þon, þæt heo wel mæge
þæt swyðre mægen, sawel usser,
wæteres wenan ðæs wel gedegean.
6Drihten si gebletsad, þe þæt ne dyde æfre,
þæt us on hearde hæftnyd sealde
þam þe us mid toðum toteon woldan.
7Wærun ure sawla samod anlice
niþa generede, swa swa neodspearuwa
of grames huntan gryne losige.
Grin bið on sadan grame torænded,
and we synd alysde lifes wyrðe;
8we us naman Drihtnes neode habbað
on fultume fæstne and strangne,
þæs þe heofon worhte, hrusan swylce.
