1Me eardaĂ° æt     Âæþele fultum
þæs hehstan     Âheofonrices weard,
Ăľe me æt wunaĂ°     Âawa to feore.
2Ic to Drihtne cwæð:     Â“Þu me dyre eart
fæle fultum;     Âhæbbe ic freond on him,
min se gĹŤda God,     Âand ic on Ă°e geare hycge.”
3ForĂ°on he me alysde     Âof laĂ°um grine,
huntum unholdum, Â Â Â Â Âhearmum worde.
4He me mid his gesculdrum     Âsceade beĂľeahte;
for Ăľon ic under fiĂ°rum     Âfæle hihte.
5Hwæt, me soĂ°fæstnes min     Âscylde wiĂ° feondum,
ne Ă°u Ăľe nihtegsan     Ânede ondrædest.
6Ne forhtast Ăľu Ă°e on dæge     Âflan on lyfte,
þæt Ăľe Ăľurhgangan     Âgaras on Ă°eostrum,
oĂ°Ă°e on midne dæg     Âmære deoful.
7FealleĂ° Ăľe on Ăľa wynstran     Âwergra Ăľusend,
and eac geteledra     Âtyn Ăľusendo
on Ăľine Ăľa swiĂ°ran,     Âand Ăľe ne sceaĂ°eĂ° ænig.
8Hwæðere Ăľu ðæs eagan     Âeall sceawadest,
gesege fyrenfulra     Âfrecne wite.
9Ăžu me eart se hehsta hyht, Â Â Â Â Âhalig Drihten;
Ăľu me friĂ°stol on Ă°e     Âfæstne settest.
10Ne mæg Ăľe ænig yfel     Âegle weorĂ°an,
ne heard sweopu     Âhuse Ăľinum
on neaweste     Ânahwær sceþþan.
11For Ăľon he his englum bebead,     Âþæt hi mid earmum Ăľe
on heora handum     Âheoldan georne,
þæt Ăľu wilwega     Âwealdan mostest.
12And Ăľe on folmum     Âferedan swylce,
Ăľe læs Ăľu fræcne on stan     Âfote spurne.
13Ăžu ofer aspide miht     ÂeaĂ°e gangan,
and bealde nu     Âbasiliscan tredan,
and leon and dracan     Âliste gebygean.
14For Ă°on he hyhte to me, Â Â Â Â Âic hine hraĂ°e lyse,
niode hine scylde, Â Â Â Â Ânu he cuĂ°e naman minne.
15He cigde me, Â Â Â Â Âand ic hine cuĂ°lice
hold gehyrde,     Âand hine hraĂ°e syþþan
of earfoĂľum     Âut alysde.
16Ic hine generige     Âand his naman swylce
gewuldrige     Âgeond ealle werĂ°eoda,
and him lifdagas     Âlange sylle,
swylce him mine hælu     Âholde ætywe.
