The Paris Psalter: Psalm 65
Verse Indeterminate Saxon


Ealle eorðbuend      ecne drihten

and his naman secgeað      neode mid sealmum
and him wuldres lof      wide syllað.

And gode secgeað,      hu his þa goodan weorc

and eac on menigeo      mægenes þines
þine feondas þe      fæcne leogað.
Geweorðie      wuldres ealdor

10

and þe singe eac,      secge geneahhie,
þæt þin nama is      ofer eall niða bearn

Cumað nu and geseoð,      hu cyme weorc

15

swiþe egeslice      ofer eall ylda bearn.
He mæg onwendan      wætera ðryðe,
þæt þas deopan sæ      drige weorðað,
and þa strangan mæg      streamas swylce

20

gefeterian,      þæt þu mid fote miht

and he ofer ealle þeode      eagum wliteð;

25

þonne man hit aseoðeð      swyðe mid fyre.

35

We þuruh fyr farað      and þuruh floda þrym,
and ðu us on colnesse      clæne gelæddest.

40

Ic on þin hus      halig gange

þæt ic ðe on tifrum      teala forgulde
ealle þa gehat,      þe ic æfre her

Gehyrað me      and her cumað;

50

55

Gif ic me unrihtes oncneow      awiht on heortan,
ne wite me þæt,      wealdend drihten.
Forðon me gehyrde      hælend drihten,
and minre stefne beheold      strange bene.
Drihten si gebletsad,      þe he ne dyde æfre

60

nymðe he mine bene      bealde gehyrde,
ne his milde mod      me dyde fremde.
