1Oft me fuhtan to fynd on geoguðe,
cweðan Israhelas nu eac þæt sylfe;
2oft me fuhtan to fynd on geoguþe,
ne mihton hi awiht æt me æfre gewyrcean.
3Ofer minum bæce bitere ongunnon
þa firenfullan facen timbrian,
and heora unriht eft gelengdon.
4Drihten is soðfæst, and gedeð sniome,
þæt he firenfullra fæcne geðancas

and hiora scamiað swiþust ealles,

6Wesen hi hige her gelicast
þam þe on huses þæce heah aweaxeð,
þæt bið forwisnad wraðe sona,

7Of þam he ne gefylleð folme æfre,
þeah þe he hit mawe micle elne;

þeah þe he samnige swiðe georne.
8And þæt ne cweðan, þa his cwide weoldan

“us gebletsige bealde Drihten
and ofer eow wese eac his bletsung;
we eow neodlice on naman Drihtnes
swylce bletsiað bliðe mode.”
