1God wæs geara cuð mid Iudeum,
and his æþele nama mid Israelum.
2Is on sibbe his stow soþe behealden,
and he on Sione swylce eardað.
3Þær he hornbogan hearde gebendeð,
and sweord and sceld æt gescotfeohta.
4Þu wræclice wundrum onlyhtest
fram þam eceum hider æðelum beorgum;
5ealle synt yrre, þa þe unwise
heora heortan hige healdað mid dysige;
hi slæp hiora swæfun unmurne;
ne þær wiht fundan, þa þe welan sohtan,
þæs þe hi on handum hæfdan gōdes.
6For þinre þrea þriste ongunnon,
Iacobes God, georne slepan,
þa þe on horsum hwilon wæron;
7is þin egesa mycel; hwylc mæg æfre þe,
gif þu yrre byst, ahwær wiðstandan?
8Þonne þu of heofenum dom hider on eorþan
mid gescote sendest, þonne hio swyþe beofað;
9ðonne to dome Drihten ariseð,
þæt he on eorðan do ealle hale
þe he mildheorte meteð and findeð.
10For þon ðe mannes geþoht mægen andetteð,
and þonne þa lafe lustum þence,
þæt ic þe symbeldæg sette and gyrwe.
11Gehatað nu Drihtne, and him hraðe gyldað
eowrum þam gōdan gode georne;
ealle þe on ymbhwyrfte ahwær syndan,
him gyfe bringen gōde and clæne.
To þam egsan sceal æghwylc habban,
12þe wera gastum wealdeð and healdeð;
eorðcynincgum se ege standeð.
