1Synd me wic Ăľine     Âweorðe and leofe,

Heorte min and flæsc     Âhyhtað georne

3him eac spedlice     Âspearuwa hus begyteð,
and tidlice     Âturtle nistlað,
þær hio afedeð     Âfugelas geonge.
Wærun wigbedu Ăľin,     Âweoruda Drihten;
Ăľu eart Drihten min     Âand deore cynincg.
4Eadige weorðað,     ÂĂľa Ăľe eardiað
on Ăľinum husum, Â Â Â Â Âhalig Drihten,
and Ăľe on worulda woruld,     Âwealdend, heriað.
5Þæt byð eadig wer,     Âse Ăľe him oðerne
fultum ne seceð     ÂnymĂľe fælne God,
and þæt on heortan hige     Âhealdeð fæste,
6geseteð him þæt sylfe     Âon ðisse sargan dene,
þær hi teara     Âteonan cnyssað

7Brohte him bletsunge     Âse ðe him beorhte æ
soðe sette;     Âsyþþan eodan
of mægene on mægen;     Âþær wæs miht gesawen
on Sionbeorge     Âsoðes Drihtnes.
8Gehyr min gebed, Â Â Â Â Âhalig Drihten,
Ăľu eart mære God,     Âmildum earum,
and Iacobes     ÂGod se mæra.
9Beseoh Drihten nu, Â Â Â Â Âscyldend usser;

10Betere is micle     Âto gebidanne
anne dæg mid Ăľe     ÂĂľonne oðera
on Ăľeodstefnum     ÂĂľusend mæla.
Ic me þæs wyrce     Âand wel ceose,
þæt ic hean gange     Âon hus Godes,
Ăľonne ic on fyrenfulra     Âfolce eardige.
11For Ăľon God lufað     Âgeornast ealles,
þæt man si mildheort     Âmode soðfæst,
Ăľonne him God gyfeð     Âgyfe and wuldur.
Nele God æfre     ÂgĹŤde bedælan,
Ăľa ðe heortan gehygd     Âhealdað clæne;
12þæt bið eadig mann,     Âse Ăľe him ecean Godes
to mundbyrde     Âmiht gestreoneð.
