1Healdað his staðelas halige beorgas;
2lufude Sione duru symble Drihten
ofer Iacobes wic goode ealle.
3Wærun wuldurlice wið þe wel acweðene,
þæt þu si cymast ceastra Drihtnes;
4eac ic gemyndige þa mæran Raab
and Babilonis begea gehwæðeres.
Efne fremde cynn foran of Tyrum,
folc Sigelwara naman þær fæstne eard.
Modor Sion “man” cwæð ærest,
5and hire mære gewearð mann on innan,
and he hi þa hehstan her staðelade.
6Drihten þæt on gewritum dema sægde
þam þe frumsprecend folces wæron,
eallum swylce, þe hire on wæron.
7Swa ure ealra bliss eardhæbbendra
on anum þe ece standeð.
