Verse Indeterminate Saxon
Syle dom þinne, drihten, kyninge;

þe on þas eorðan upon dreopað.
On his agenum dagum ypped weorðeþ

He helpeð þearfan, swylce eac wædlan,
and he þearfigendra sawla gehæleð.
40
He of mansceatte and of mane eac
sniome hiora sawle softe alysde;
ys his nama for him neode gebyrhted.
He lyfað leodum, him byð lungre seald;
of Arabia gold eorlas lædað;
45

and hine ealne dæg eac bletsiað.

And him byð eorþan cynn eall gebletsad;
ealle hine þeoda þriste heriað.
Wese Israhela ece drihten
and hiora sylfra god symble gebletsad,
60

And þeos eorðe si eall gefylled,
þurh his wuldres miht. Wese swa, wese swa!
