Verse Indeterminate Saxon
Ic on þe, god drihten, gearuwe gewene;
ne weorðe ic on ealdre æfre gescended;

Ahyld me þin eare to holde mode,
5
and me lustum alys and me lungre weorð

and on trume stowe, þæt

Forþon þu me, god, wære geara trymmend,
freoða fultumiend; alys me feondum nu,
10
and me of folmum afere firenwyrcendra,
þe þine æ efnan nellað;

Forþon þu me eart fæle geþyld
fæste, drihten

15
Ic of modur hrife mundbyrd on þe

20
Sy min muð and min mod mægene gefylled,
þæt ic þin lof mæge lustum

and þe ealne dæg æghwær herian.
Ne aweorp þu me, wuldres ealdor,
25
þonne me ylde tid on gesige;
þonne me mægen and mod mylte on hreðre,
ne forlæt þu me, lifiende god.
Oft me feala cwædon feondas yfele,
and sætendan sawle minre
30
and on anre geþeaht eodan togædere.
Cweþað cuðlice: "Wuton cunnian,
hwænne hine god læte swa swa gymeleasne;
þonne we hine forgripen and his geara ehtan;
syþþan he ne hæbbe helpend ænne."
35
Ne ofgif þu me huru, god ælmihtig;
beseoh þu me, soð god, symble on fultum.
Beoð gedrette, eac gescende,
þa mine sawle ær swyþust tældun;
byð þam scand and sceamu þe me syrwedan
yfel.
40
Ic me symble on god swiðost getreowige,
ofer eall þin lof lengest hihte.
Min muð sægeð þine mægenspede
and þin soðfæst weorc swyþust
mæreð,
sægeð þe ealne dæg ece hælu.
45
Forþon ic ne ongeat grame ceapunga,
ac ic on þine þa myclan mihte gange.
Ic þine soðfæstnesse geman symble,
drihten;
þu me ara, god, ærest lærdest
of geoguðhade; nu ic eom gomel wintrum.
50
A ic wundor þin weorþlic sægde,
and ic þæt wið oryldu awa fremme;
ne forlæt þu me, lifigende god,
Oððæt ic þines earmes eall asecge
stiþe strencðe þisse cneorisse,
55
eallum þam teohhe, þe nu toweard ys,
þines mihtes þrym, and þæt
mære soð,
þæt ðu on heofenum, god, heah geworhtest
wundur wræclicu; nis þe, wuldres cyning,
ænig æfre gelic, ece drihten.
60
Oft þu me ætywdest earfoðes feala
on costunge cuðra manna,
and me yfela feala oft oncnyssedest;
þonne þu yrre þin eft oncyrdest
and me of neowelnesse eft neoðan alysdest
65

ðær þu þin soðfæst weorc

þonne þu gehwyrfdest and hulpe min,
and me getrymedest þæt ic teala mihte;
forþon ic þe andette, ece drihten,
70
and þe on sealmfatum singe be hearpan,
Israela god, ece and halig.
Mine weleras gefeoð, wynnum lofiað,
þonne ic þe singe, sigora wealdend,
and min sawl eac, þa þu sylf lysdest.
75
Swylce min tunge tidum mærde
