1Heriað naman Drihtenes, neode swylce
herigen hine his scealcas swiðe ealle.
2Ge þe on Godes huse gleawe standað
and on cafertunum Cristes huses
þæs gōdan Godes gearwe syndan,
3Lofiað ge Drihten, for þon he lungre is
fæstræd and fremsum fira æghwam;
weorðiað his naman, for þon he wyrðe is.
4For ðon him gōdne geceas Iacob Drihten
and on agene æht Israeles cynn.
5Ic þæt gearwe ongeat, þæt is god and mycel
Drihten ure; for þon him dom standeð
ofer ealle godu eorðbuendra.
6Ealle þa þe wolde, worhte Drihten
on heofonrice and her on eorðan,
on sidum sæ swylce on eallum,
þær he dyrne wat deorce grundas.
7And he fram þysse eorðan ende lædeð
wolcen wræclicu, wind and liget,
and þa to regne recene wyrceð,
Þe forð lædeð fægere windas
of his goldhordum godra manegum;
8se Ægipta sloh æðele frumbearn
æghwylc ealra oð þa nytenu.
9He sigetacen sende manegum
forebeacn fæle folce Ægipta,
and þa Pharaones folce gecyðde
and his scealcum samed ætgædere.
10Se sloh þeode folc þearle manige,
and eac acwealde cyningas strange.
11Wæs Seon efne sum þara kynincga,
and Og kyning, se þe æror wæs
on Basane breme and mære.
12Sealde heora eardland eall Israhelum
and heora yrfe eac his folce.
13Ys þin nama, Drihten, nemned ece,
and þin gemynd, mihtig Drihten,
on ealra worulda woruld wynnum standeð.
14For þon his folc demeð fægere Drihten,
and he bið on his esnum agenum frefriend.
15Beoð deofolgyld dysigra þeoda
gold and seolfur, þe her geotað menn,
and mid heora folmum fægere wyrceað.
16Þa muð habbað, and ne meldiað wiht,
fægere eagan, ne magon feor geseon.
17Earan habbað, ne hi awiht magon
holdes gehyran, þeah ðe him hleoðrige,
and nose habbað, nawiht gestincað.
Handa hi habbað, ne hi hwæðere magon
gegrapian godes awiht;
habbað fet swylce, ne magon feala gangan.
Ne hi on hracan awiht hlude ne cleopiað,
ne him gast warað gomum on muðe.
18Synt anlice þæm þe hi ær worhtan,
and ealle þa ðe on hi æfre getreowað.
19Hus Israela holdne Drihten
bletsien bealde, biddan swylce
þæt Aarones hus ecne Drihten
bliðe bletsien; beornas ealle,
20þa on Lifes hus leof eardiað,
bletsien Drihten bliðe mode.
Þa þe him ondræden Drihtnes egsan,
bletsien Drihten beornas ealle;
21se Drihten is deore gebletsad
of Sion sniome, þe soðfæst ær
on Hierusalem god eardode.
