1Hu gĹŤd is ece God     Âmid Israhelum,
Ăľam Ăľe mid heortan     ÂhycgeaĂ° rihte;
2me fornean syndon     Âlosode nu Ă°a
ealle on foldan     Âfota gangas.
3For Ăľon ic fæstlice     Âfyrenwyrcende
oft elnade; Â Â Â Â Ânoldun earme mid him
sibbe secean, Â Â Â Â Âsohton fyrene.
4For Ăľon hira deaĂ°es byĂ°     Âdeorc endestæf,
ne heora wites biĂ° Â Â Â Â Âwislic trymnes.
5Ne synd hi on miclum     Âmanna gewinnum,
and hi mid manna ne beoĂ°     Âmægene beswungene.
6For Ăľon hi oferhygd nam     Âungemete swyĂľe,
Ăľurh þæt hira unriht wearĂ°     Âeall untyned.
7Ăžanon forĂ° becom     Âfæcne unriht,
swa swa hit of gelynde     Âlungre cwome,
8and hi on heortan     Âhogedon and Ăľohton,
hu hi fyrmest     Âfacen and unriht
on hean huse     ÂhraĂ°ost acwædon.
9Hwæt, hi on heofon setton     Âhyge hyra muĂľes,
and hira tungan     Âtugon ofer eorĂ°an.
10For Ăľon min folc hider     Âfægere hweorfeĂ°,
þær hi fulle dagas     ÂfindaĂ° sona.
11And Ăľonne cwædon:     Â“Hu weorĂ°eĂ° Ăľis cuĂ° gode
oþþe Ăľeos gewitness     ÂweorĂ°eĂľ on heagum?”
12Ăži nu fyrenfulle     Âfoldan æhta
and Ăľysse worulde welan     Âwynnum namon.
13Ăža ic on mode cwæð     Âminum sona,
Ăľeah Ăľe ic on me ingcan     Âænne ne wiste,
hu ic mine heortan     Âheolde mid soĂ°e,
and mine handa Ăľwoh,     Âþær ic hete nyste,
14and ic wæs ealne dæg     Âeac geswungen,
wæs me leawfinger     Âbe leohtne dæg.
15Gif ic sylf cwæde     Âand sæcge eac,
swa Ăľe bearn weorĂ°aĂ°     Âgeboren syþþan,
Ăľa ylcan ic     Âær foreteode.
16Ic þæs wende,     Âþæt ic mid wisdome
full gleawlice     Âongitan mihte,
hu Ăľis gewinn     Âwolde gangan,
17oĂľ þæt ic on his hus     Âhalig gange
and ic Ăľa nehstan ongite     Âneode syþþan.
18Hwæðere Ăľu him for inwite     Âyfel befæle,
awurpe hi wraĂ°e,     ÂĂľa hi wendan ær,
þæt hi wæron alysde,     ÂlaĂ°um wiĂ°ferede.
19Nu syndon hi gewordene     ÂwraĂ°e tolysde,
and semninga     Âsneome forwurdon
for unrihte     ÂĂľe hi ær dydon,
20swa fram slæpe hwylc     Âswærum arise.
And hi on byrig Drihtnes     Âbealde habbaĂ°
hiora ansyne, Â Â Â Â Âand Ăľu hi eaĂ°e miht
to nawihte     Âfomiman sneome.
21Ys minre heortan hige     Âhluttor and clæne,
wærun mine ædra     Âealle tolysde,
22and ic to nawihte eom     Ânyde gebiged,
swa ic þæt be owihte     Âær ne wiste.
Ic eom anlic mid Ăľe     Âanum neate
and ic symble mid Ăľe     Âsyþþan hwæðere.
23Ăžu mine swyĂľran hand     Âsylfa gename,
24and me mid Ăľinon willan     Âwell gelæddest,
and me Ăľa mid wuldres     Âwelan gename.
25Hwæt mæg me wiĂ°erhabban     Âon heofonrice?
hwæt wolde ic fram Ăľe     Âwyrcean ofer eorĂľan?
26Me is heorte and flæsc     Âhearde geteorad;
ys me heortan gehygd     Âhyldu Drihtnes
and ece dæl     Âawa to worulde.
27ForĂľan Ăľa forweorĂľaĂ°, Â Â Â Â ÂĂľe hira wynne to Ăľe
habban noldan, Â Â Â Â Âne heora hyge settan;
huru Ăľu forleosest     ÂĂľa forhealdaĂ° Ăľe.
28Min is ætfele     Âmihtigum Drihtne;
good is swylce,     Âþæt ic on God Drihten
minne hiht sette,     Âhealde fæste.
And ic eall Ăľin lof     Âeft asecge
Sione dohtrum     Âon hire sylfre durum.
