For hwan þu us, ece god, æfre woldest

Is þin yrre strang and egesa mycel
ofer þin agen eowde sceapa.
5
Gemun þin mannweorod, þæt þu,

and on þinra wica wuniað midle.
15
Settan hiora tacen, soþe ne ongeaton,
swa hi on wege wyrcean sceoldon
wundorbeacen, swa hi on wudu dydan.
Hi mid æxum duru elne curfan,
and mid twyecgum teoledan georne

25
and ure magas mid us; wutun þyder gemot
habban
and symbeldagas swylce drihtnes
on eorðwege ealle towurpan.
Ne we sweotul tacen us geseoð ænig,
ne we on ænige wisan witegan habbað,
30
þæt us andgytes ma æfre secgen."
Wilt þu hu lange, wealdend drihten,
edwit þolian yfelum feondum
and naman þinne nu bysmriað
þa wiþerweardan wraþe wið ende?
35
For hwan awendest þu wuldres ansyne
æfre fram us, eac þa swyðran hand
of þinum sceate sylfa wið ende?
Usser god kynincg, geara þu worhtest,
ær woruld wære, wise hælu
40
on þisse eorþan efenmidre.
þu on þines mægenes mihte spedum
sæ gesettest, swylce gebræce
þæt dracan heafod deope wætere.
þu þæs myclan dracan mihtum forcome
45
and his þæt hearde heafod gescændest,
sealdest Siglhearwum syððan to mose.

50
þu dæg settest and deorce niht,
swylce þu gesettest sunnan and monan;
ealle þu geworhtest eorðan gemæru,
sumor þu and lencten swylce geworhtest.
Wes þu gemyndig manna bearna,
55
þæra gesceafta þe

fynd ætwitað fæcne drihtne,
unwis folc ne wat þinne wyrðne naman.
Ne syle þu unscyldigra sawla
deorum

60
þara þu on ealdre ne forgit, ece drihten.
Geseoh þu nu sylfa, god, soð is gecyðed,
nu þin gewitnes ys wel gefylled,

65
Ne byð se eadmoda æfre gecyrred,

Aris, drihten god, dem þine nu

þurh ealne dæg oft aspræcon.
Ne forgit huru godra manna
