1Heriað Drihten, he is heah and good;

and hine wlitegum wordum herigeað.
2Eft Hierusalem georne Drihten

3Se hæleð eac heortan geðræste
and heora unrotnesse ealle gewriðeð.
4He recene mæg riman steorran
and þa neodlice be naman sona

5Micel is ure mihtig Drihten,
and his mægen is micel and mihtum strang;
ne his snytru mæg secgean ænig,

6Milde mode and manþwære

7Onginnað ge Drihtne geare andettan,
singað gode urum gleawe be hearpan,
8Se þe heofen þeceð hadrum wolcnum
and regn þanon recene sendeð

9He of beorgum ut blæde lædeð,

10Nafast ðu to manna mægene willan,
ne þe on þinum selegescotum swiðe licað,
þeah þe weras wyrcean wræst on eorðan.
11Ac wel licað wuldres Drihtne,
þa þe hine him ondrædað dædum and wordum,
and on his milde mod mægene gewenað.
12Herige Hierusalem georne Drihten,
here þu, Sion, swylce þinne soðne god.
13For þon he getrymede wið teonhete,
þæt þu þine doru mihtest bedon fæste,
and gebletsade bearna æghwylc

14He þine gemæru gemiclade,

and þe gesadade mid þy selestan
hwætecynnes holde lynde.
15He his spræce hider spowendlice
on þas eorðan ærest sendeð,
and his word yrneð wundrum sniome.
16He snaw sendeð samed anlice
swa þu wulle flys wolcnum bringe,
and þone toweorpeð wide swa æscean.
17He his cristallum cynnum sendeð
swylc swa hlafgebrece of heofon wolcnum;
for andwlitan celes þær ænig ne mæg
him standan stiðe mode.
18He his word sendeð þuruh windes gast;
blaweð beorhtlice, burnan floweð
and to wætere weorðeð sniome.
19He his word eac ær mid wisdome
godum Iacobe geara foresægde,
and Israhele eac his domas.
20Ne dyde he ahwær swa eldran cynne,
þæt he him his domas digle gecydde.
