1Ahrede me, halig God, Â Â Â Â Âhefiges niĂ°es
feonda minra, Â Â Â Â ÂĂ°e me feohtaĂ° to;
alys me fram laĂ°um     ÂĂľe me lungre on
risan willaĂ°,     ÂnymĂ°e Ăľu me ræd geofe.
2Genere me fram niĂľe     Ânahtfremmendra
Ăľe her unrihtes     Âealle wyrceaĂ°,
and me wiĂ° blodhreowes weres     Âbealuwe gehæle.
3Ăži nu mine sawle     ÂswiĂľe bysige
feondas mine     Âfæcne ofĂľryhtun,
and me strange eac     Âstundum ongunnon;
4ne me unrihtes on     Âawiht wistan,
ne ic firene eac     Âfremde Drihtne.
Gif ic on unriht bearn,     Âic þæs eft geswac;
5on minne geanryne, Â Â Â Â Âaris Ă°u, Drihten, nu,
and Ă°u sylfa gesyhst,     Âþæt ic swa dyde;
Ăľu eart mægena God,     Âmihtig Drihten,
and Israela God     Âæghwær æt Ăľearfe.
Beheald holdlice, Â Â Â Â Âhu Ăľu hraĂ°e wylle
geneosian     ÂniĂ°a bearna
ealra Ă°eoda     Âæghwær landes;
ne Ăľu hweĂ°ere on mode     Âmilde weorĂ°est
eallum Ă°e unriht     Âelne wyrceaĂ°.
6Hi æt æfene eft     Âin gecyrraĂ°,
Ăľonne hy heardne     Âhungor ĂľoliaĂ°,
swa hundas ymbgaĂ° Â Â Â Â Âhwommas ceastre.
7Efne hi habbaĂ° on muĂ°e     Âmilde spræce,
is him on welerum     ÂwraĂ° sweord and scearp.
Ăžonne gehyreĂ° hwylc,     Âhwæt hyra hyge seceĂ°?
8and Ă°u hi, Drihten, dest     Âdeope to bysmre;
nafast Ăľu for awiht     Âealle Ăľeoda.
9Ic mine strengĂ°e on Ă°e     Âstrange gehealde,
forĂ°on Ăľu me God eart     Âgeara andfencgea,
10and mildheortnes     Âmines Drihtnes
me fægere becom,     Âþær me wæs freondes Ăľearf.
Min se gĹŤda God, ætyw me     ÂĂľin agen good
for minum feondum, Â Â Â Â ÂĂľe me feale syndun;
11ne do hy to deadan,     ÂĂľy læs hi dollice
Ăľinre æ geban     Âanforlæton.
Ac Ăľu hi wide todrif     ÂĂľurh Ăľines wordes mægen,
and hi wraĂ°e toweorp, Â Â Â Â Âwealdend min Drihten.
12Ys hyra muĂ°es scyld     Âmanworda feala,
Ă°a hi mid welerum     ÂwraĂ°e aspræcan;
wærun hi on oferhygde     Âealle gescende,
Ăľa hi on lige     Âlange feredon;
13forĂ°on hi on ende     Âyrre forgripeĂ°
and hi syþþan ne beoĂ°     Âsamod ætgædere.
SyĂ°Ă°an hi wisslice witon,     Âþætte wealdeĂ° God
ofer middangeard     Âmanna cynnes
and ealra eac     ÂeorĂ°an gemæru.
14Hi on æfenne     Âeft gecyrraĂ°
and heardne eac     Âhungor Ă°oliaĂ°,
swa hundas ymbgaĂ° Â Â Â Â Âhwommas ceastre.
15Efne hi to æte     Âut gewitaĂ°,
þær hi towrecene     Âwide hweorfaĂ°;
gif hi fulle ne beoĂ°, Â Â Â Â Âfela gnorniaĂ°.
16Ic Ăľonne Ă°ine strengĂľu     Âstundum singe
and Ă°in milde mod     Âmorgena gehwylce.
ForĂ°on Ăľu min andfengea     Âæghwær wære
and ic helpe æt Ă°e     Âhæfde symble,
Ăľonne me costunge     Âcnysedon geneahhige;
17Ăľu eart fultum min, Â Â Â Â Âic Ă°e fela singe.
ForĂ°on Ăľu me, God, eart     Âgeara andfengea
and mildheortnes, Â Â Â Â Âmihtig Drihten.
