1Gōd is þæt man Drihtne geara andette
and neodlice his naman asinge,
þone heahestan hæleða cynnes;
2And þonne on morgene mægene sæcge,
hu he milde wearð manna cynne,
and his soðe sæcge nihtes.
3Hwæt, ic on tyn strengum getogen hæfde,
hu ic þe on psalterio singan mihte
oððe þe mid hearpan hlyste cweman,
4forðon þu me on þinum weorcum wisum lufadest;
hihte ic to þinra handa halgum dædum.
5Hu micle synt þine mægenweorc, mihtig Drihten;
wærun þine geðancas þearle deope.
6Wonhydig wer þæs wiht ne cann,
ne þæs andgit hafað ænig dysigra.
7Þonne forð cumað fyrenfulra ðreat,
heap synnigra hige onlic;
ealle þær ætywað, þa ðe unrihtes
on weoruldlife worhtan geornast,
þæt hi forwordene weorðen syþþan
on worulda woruld and to widan feore.
8Þu on ecnesse awa, Drihten,
heahesta bist, heofonrices weard.
9Þi nu ðine feond fæcne, Drihten,
on eorðwege ealle forweorþað,
and weorðað towrecene wide ealle,
þa þe unrihtes æror worhtan.
10Þonne anhorna ealra gelicost,
min horn weorðeð ahafen swiðe
and mine yldo beoð æghwær genihtsum.
11And eage þin eac sceawode,
hwær fynd mine fæcne wæran,
and mine wergend wraðe gehyrde
efne þin agen eare swylce.
12Se soðfæsta samed anlicast
beorht on blædum bloweð swa palma,
and swa Libanes beorh lideð and groweð.
13Settað nu georne on Godes huse,
þæt ge on his wicum wel geblowan.
14Nu gyt syndan manige manna swylce,
þe hiom yldo gebidan ær to genihte,
and þa mid geþylde þenden sægdan,
15Cwædon, þæt wære soðfæst sylfa Drihten
and hine unrihtes awyht ne heolde.
