1Drihten is min onlyhtend and min hælend: hwæt þearf ic ondrædan?
Drihten is scyldend mines lifes: hwy sceal ic beon afærd?
2Þonne me to genealæhton mine fynd me to derianne,
swylce hi woldon fretan min flæsc,
þa þe me swencton, hi wæron sylfe geuntrumode and gefeollon.
3Þeah hi nu gyt wyrcen getruman and scyldridan wið me,
ne byð min heorte nawuht afæred;
þeah hi arisan ongean me to feohtanne,
to þam Gode ic hopie þe me ær gefreode.

and geseon Godes willan, and þone ongitan;
and he me gefriðie on his þam halgan temple.
5For þam he me gehydde on his temple
- on þam yflan dagum he me gefriðode on þam sceade his geteldes and his temples -
and he me ahof upp on heane stan,
6and huru nu hæfð min heafod uppahafen ofer mine fynd,
for þæm ic ymbhweorfe þin þæt halige tempel, Drihten,
and þær offrige on þinum huse þa offrunga;
sangas ic singe, and secge Gode lof.
7Gehyr, Drihten, mine stefne, mid þære ic clypige to þe;
gemiltsa me and gehyr me.
8To þe cwyð min heorte: “Ic sohte þine ansyne;
ic sece gyt symle, Drihten.”
9Ne awend þu þine ansyne fram me,
ne þe næfre yrringa acyr fram þinum þeowe.
Þu eart min fultumend, Drihten:
ne forlæt me, ne ne forseoh me, Drihten, min hælend.
10For þam min fæder and min modor me forleton,
ac Drihten me ne forlet.
11Gesete me æ, Drihten, on þinum wege,
and gerece me on rihtne pæð fore minum feondum,
12and ne syle me to þara modes willan þe min ehtað,
for ðam arison ongean me lease gewitnessa,
and heora leasung wæs gecyrred to heom sylfum.
13Ic gelyfe þæt ic geseo Godes good on libbendra lande.
14Hopa nu, min mod, to Drihtne, and gebid his willan, and do esnlice,
and gestaþela and gestranga þine heortan, and geþola Drihtnes willan.
