1Ic andette ecum Drihtne,
for ðon he gōd is, and ic ful gearwe wat,
þæt he to worulde byð wis and mildheort.
2Eac ic andette þam þe ece is
ealra gōdena God, for ðon ic hine gōdne wat.
3Andette ic swylce þam þe ealra is
drihtna Drihten dædum spedigast,
for ðon he gōd is, and ic gearwe wat,
þæt his mildheortnes is mycel to worulde.
4He wundur dyde weorþlic ana;
5se heofon worhte, hæleða andgit.
6He eorðan æfter wæter ærest sette.
7He leohtfatu leodum ana
micel geworhte manna bearnum,
8Sette on miht dæges mære sunnan,
9On miht nihte monan and steorran.
10He Ægyptas sloh and eall heora frumbearn,
11And he Israhelas ealle oðlædde
of Ægyptum ealle gesunde,
12On mihtigre mære handa
and on eallmihte earmes swylce.
13He readne sæ recene todælde,
14lædde Israhelas ealle þurh midne.
15Þær Pharaon gefeol, and his fæge werud
on þam readan sæ recene forwurdan.
16He gewealdendlice þuruh westen eft
his þæt leofe folc lædde swylce.
He of stanclife stearce burnan
leodum lædde on leofne þanc.
17Swylce he acwealde cyningas mycle.
18And he eac ofsloh æðele cyningas,
weras wræclice, þa þe weoruld heoldan.
19Þær Seon cyning swylt dreorig fornam,
þe Amorrea anweald hæfde,
20And Og swylce, þe æror wæs
swyþe breme cyning on Basane.
21Sealde heora eorþan on yrfeland,
22And þæt yrfe on Israele,
þe his esnas agene wæron.
23For þon ure eaðmedu ece Drihten
gemyndgade, and us mycel sealde.
24And he us aferede feondum of handa,
þa ðe wraðe wæron ealle.
25He eac afedeð flæscea æghwylc.
26Andetað nu ealle þam ecean Gode,
þe on heofonum is heah eardiende.
And ge ealra gōdena Gode geara andettað,
for þan his mildheortnes is mycel to worulde.
