1Ðu bletsadest, bliðe Drihten,
foldan fæle, and afyrdest eac
of Iacobe þa graman hæftned.
2Unriht þu forlete eallum þinum folce,
and heora fyrene fæste hæle.
3Eall þu þin yrre eðre gedydest,
na ðu ure gyltas egsan gewræce.
4Gehweorf us hraðe, hælend Drihten,
and þin yrre fram us eac oncyrre,
5þæt ðu us ne weorðe wrað on mode.
Ne wrec þu þin yrre wraðe mode
of cynne on cynn and on cneorisse;
6gecyr us georne to ðe, Crist ælmihtig,
and ðin folc on ðe gefeo swiðe.
7Æteow us milde mod, mihtig Drihten,
and us þine hæle syle her to genihte.
8Syþþan ic gehyre, hwæt me halig God

and swiðust to þam þe hine seceað.
9Hwæðere he is mid soðe forswiðe neah

and hine sybbe lufu swylce clyppeð.
11Up of eorðan cwom æþelast soða,

12Syleð us fremsum gōd fægere Drihten,
þonne us eorðe syleð æðele wæstmas.
13Hine soðfæstnes symble foregangeð
and on weg setteð wise gangas.
