1For hwan Ăľu us, ece God,     Âæfre woldest
æt ende fram Ăľe     Âahwær drifan?
is Ăľin yrre strang     Âand egesa mycel
ofer Ăľin agen     Âeowde sceapa.
2Gemun Ăľin mannweorod,     Âþæt Ăľu, mihtig god,
æt fruman ærest     Âfægere geworhtest.
Ăžu Ăľines yrfes     Âæþele gyrde
sylfa alysdest     Âand Sione byrig,
on Ăľam ilcan Ăľu     Âeard gename;
3hefe Ăľu Ăľine handa     Âand hyn hiora oferhygd;
feala wyrgnessa     ÂwraĂ°e feondas
Ăľinum Ăľam halgum     Âhefige brohtan;
4gylpaĂ° gramhydige, Â Â Â Â ÂĂľa Ăľin geo ehtan
and on Ăľinra wica     ÂwuniaĂ° midle.
Settan hiora tacen, Â Â Â Â Â 5soĂľe ne ongeaton,
swa hi on wege     Âwyrcean sceoldon
wundorbeacen, Â Â Â Â Âswa hi on wudu dydan.
6Hi mid æxum duru     Âelne curfan,
and mid twyecgum     Âteoledan georne
þæt hi mid adesan     Âealle towurpan.
7Ăža hi þæt Ăľin fægere hus     Âfyre forbærndan
and on eorĂ°stede     Âeac gewemdan,
þæt Ăľinum naman gewearĂľ     Âniode cenned.
8Cwædan on heortan:     Â“Wutan cuman ealle
and ure magas mid us; Â Â Â Â Âwutun Ăľyder gemot habban
and symbeldagas     Âswylce Drihtnes
on eorĂ°wege     Âealle towurpan.
9Ne we sweotul tacen     Âus geseoĂ° ænig,
ne we on ænige wisan     Âwitegan habbaĂ°,
þæt us andgytes ma     Âæfre secgen.”
10Wilt Ăľu hu lange, Â Â Â Â Âwealdend Drihten,
edwit Ăľolian     Âyfelum feondum
and naman Ăľinne     Ânu bysmriaĂ°
Ăľa wiĂľerweardan     ÂwraĂľe wiĂ° ende?
11For hwan awendest Ăľu     Âwuldres ansyne
æfre fram us,     Âeac Ăľa swyĂ°ran hand
of Ăľinum sceate     Âsylfa wiĂ° ende?
12Usser god kynincg, Â Â Â Â Âgeara Ăľu worhtest,
ær woruld wære,     Âwise hælu
on Ăľisse eorĂľan     Âefenmidre.
13Ăžu on Ăľines mægenes     Âmihte spedum
sæ gesettest,     Âswylce gebræce
þæt dracan heafod     Âdeope wætere.
14Ăžu þæs myclan dracan     Âmihtum forcome
and his þæt hearde     Âheafod gescændest,
sealdest Siglhearwum     ÂsyĂ°Ă°an to mose.
15Ăžu sylfa eac     Âtoslite wyllas
and hlynnende     Âhlude streamas
on Æthane     Âealle adrigdest.
16Ăžu dæg settest     Âand deorce niht,
swylce Ăľu gesettest     Âsunnan and monan;
17ealle Ăľu geworhtest     ÂeorĂ°an gemæru,
sumor Ăľu and lencten     Âswylce geworhtest.
18Wes Ăľu gemyndig     Âmanna bearna,
þæra gesceafta     ÂĂľe Ăľu gesceope Ă°e;
fynd ætwitaĂ°     Âfæcne Drihtne,
unwis folc ne wat     ÂĂľinne wyr'Ă°ne naman.
19Ne syle Ăľu unscyldigra     Âsawla deorum
Ăľe Ăľe andettaĂ° Â Â Â Â Âearme Ăľearfan;
Ăľara Ăľu on ealdre ne forgit, Â Â Â Â Âece Drihten.
20Geseoh Ăľu nu sylfa, god, Â Â Â Â ÂsoĂ° is gecyĂ°ed,
nu Ăľin gewitnes ys     Âwel gefylled,
hu deorce beoĂ° Â Â Â Â Âdagas on eorĂ°an
Ăľam Ăľe unrihtes     Âæghwær wyrceaĂ°.
21Ne byĂ° se eadmoda     Âæfre gecyrred,
Ăľeah Ăľe wædla     Âand Ăľearfa he wyle
naman Ăľinne     Âneode herian.
22Aris, Drihten God, Â Â Â Â Âdem Ăľine nu
ealde intingan; Â Â Â Â Âeac wes gemyndig,
hu Ăľe unwise     Âedwita fela
Ăľurh ealne dæg     Âoft aspræcon.
23Ne forgit huru     ÂgĹŤdra manna
soĂ°ra stefna, Â Â Â Â ÂĂľa Ăľe seceaĂ° Ăľe;
fyll Ăľa oferhydigan, Â Â Â Â ÂĂ°a Ă°e feogeaĂ° Ăľe,
and eft to Ăľe     Âealle stigaĂ°.
