The Paris Psalter: Psalm 83
Verse Indeterminate Saxon


Synd me wic þine      weorðe and leofe,
mægena drihten;      a ic on mode þæs
willum hæfde,      þet ic him wunude onn.
Heorte min and flæsc      hyhtað georne

5

on þone lifigendan      leofan drihten;
him eac spedlice      spearuwa hus begyteð,
and tidlice      turtle nistlað,
þær hio afedeð      fugelas geonge.
Wærun wigbedu þin,      weoruda drihten;

10

þu eart drihten min      and deore cynincg.
Eadige weorðað,      þa þe eardiað
on þinum husum,      halig drihten,
and þe on worulda woruld,      wealdend, heriað.
þæt byð eadig wer,      se þe him oðerne

15

fultum ne seceð      nymþe fælne god,
and þæt on heortan hige      healdeð fæste,
geseteð him þæt sylfe      on ðisse sargan dene,
þær hi teara      teonan cnyssað
on þam sylfan stede      þe þu him settest her.

20

Brohte him bletsunge      se ðe him beorhte æ
soðe sette;      syþþan eodan
of mægene on mægen;      þær wæs miht gesawen
on Sionbeorge      soðes drihtnes.
Gehyr min gebed,      halig drihten,

25

þu eart mære god,      mildum earum,
and Iacobes      god se mæra.
Beseoh drihten nu,      scyldend usser;
oncnaw onsyne      cristes þines.
Betere is micle      to gebidanne

30

anne dæg mid þe      þonne oðera
on þeodstefnum      þusend mæla.
Ic me þæs wyrce      and wel ceose,
þæt ic hean gange      on hus godes,
þonne ic on fyrenfulra      folce eardige.

35

Forþon god lufað      geornast ealles,
þæt man si mildheort      mode soðfæst,
þonne him god gyfeð      gyfe and wuldur.
Nele god æfre      gode bedælan,
þa ðe heortan gehygd      healdað clæne;

40

þæt bið eadig mann,      se þe him ecean godes
to mundbyrde      miht gestreoneð.
