The Paris Psalter: Psalm 76
Verse Indeterminate Saxon
Ic mid stefne ongann styrman to drihtne,
and he me gehyrde and beheold sona.
Ic on earfoðdæge ecne drihten
sohte mid handum swyþe geneahhe,
5
and ic on niht for him neode eode;
næs ic on þam siðe beswicen awiht.
And ic swiðe wiðsoc sawle minre
fælre frofre; þa ic fæste god
gemyndgade, þær ic hæfde
mæstne hiht.
10
Swyðe ic begangen wæs and min sylfes gast
wæs hwonlice ormod worden,
wæron eagan mine eac mid wæcceum
werded swyþe; ne spræc ic worda feala.
þa ic ealde dagas eft geþohte,
15
hæfde me ece gear ealle on mode.
Ic þa mid heortan ongann hycggean nihtes;
wæs min gast on me georne gebysgad.
þa ic sylfa cwæð: "Ic to soðe wat,
nele þis ece god æfre toweorpan
20
ne us witnian for his weldædum,
oððe wiþ ende æfre to worulde
his milde mod mannum afyrran
on woruldlife wera cneorissum.
Ne byð æfre god ungemyndig,
25
þæt he miltsige manna cynne,
oþþe on yrre æfre wille
his milde mod mannum dyrnan."
And ic selfa cwæð: "Nu ic sona ongann
þas geunwendnes wenan ærest
30
þara hean handa haligan drihtnes,
weorca wræclicra worda gemyndig,
þæt he æt fruman wundor fæger
geworhte."
þa ic metegian ongan mænigra weorca,
hu ic me on eallum þam eaðust geheolde;
35
on eallum þinum weorcum ic wæs smeagende,
swylce ic on þinum gehylde sylf begangen.
Ys weruda god on wege halgum;
hwylc is mihtig god butan ure se mæra god?
þu eart ana god, þe æghwylc miht
40
wundor gewyrcean on woruldlife.
Eft þu þine mihte mænige cyðdest
folcum on foldan; þu wiðferedes
eac
Israhela bearn of ægyptum.
Hwæt, þe, wuldres god, wæter sceawedon
45
and þe gesawon sealte yþa;
forhte wurdan flodas gedrefde,
wæs sweg micel sealtera wætera.
Sealdon weorðlice wolcnas stefne
þurh þine stræle strange foran;
50
wæs þunurradstefn strang on hweole.
þonne ligette lixan cwoman,
eall ymbhwyrft eorðan onhrerdan.
Wærun wegas þine on widne sæ
and þine stige ofer strang wæter;
55
ne bið þær eþe þin spor
on to findanne.
Folc þin ðu feredest swa fæle sceap
þurh Moyses mihtige handa
and Aarones ealle gesunde.
