The Paris Psalter: Psalm 62

God min, god min,      ic þe gearuwe to

On westene      and on wege swylce
and on wæterflodum      wene ic swiðe,
þæt ic ðe on halgum      her ætywe,
þæt ic þin wuldur and mægen      wis sceawige.
Ys þin milde mod      micele betere

10

þonne þis læne lif      þe we lifiað on;
weleras ðe mine      wynnum heriað.
Swa ic ðe on minum life      lustum bletsige
and ic on naman þinum      neode swylce

15

Ys sawl min      swetes gefylled,
swa seo fætte gelynd,      fægeres smeoruwes;
weleras mine      wynnum swylce
þinne naman nu ða      neode heriað.
Swa ic þin gemynd      on modsefan

35

forþon synt gemyrde      muðas ealle
