The Paris Psalter: Psalm 93
Verse Indeterminate Saxon


þu eart wracena god,      and þu miht wrecan swylce,
ana gefreogan      æghwylcne mann.
Ahefe þe on ellen,      eorþan dema,
gyld oferhydigum,      swa hi ær grame worhton.

5

Hu lange fyrenwyrhtan      foldan wealdað
oþþe manwyrhtan      morðre gylpað?
Hi oftust sprecað,      unnyt sæcgeað
and woh meldiað,      wyrceað unriht.
Folc hi þin, drihten,      fæcne gehyndan,

10

and yrfe þin      eall forcoman.
ælðeodige men,      earme wydewan,
steopcilda feala      stundum acwealdon.
Sægdan and cwædan,      þæt ne gesawe
drihten æfre,      dyde swa he wolde,

15

ne þæt Iacobes god      ongitan cuðe.
Onfindað þæt and ongeotað      þe on folce nu
unwiseste      ealra syndon;
dysige hwæthwygu      deope þæt oncnawan.
Se ðe ærest ealdum      earan worhte,

20

hu se oferhleoður      æfre wurde?
And him eagena gesyhð      eallum sealde
and he scearpe ne mæge      gesceawian?
And se þe ege healdeð      eallum þeodum,
and his þrea ne si      þær for awiht,

25

se þe men læreð      micelne wisdom?
God ealle cann      guman geðancas
eorðbuendra,      forðon hi idle synt.
þæt bið eadig mann,      þe þu hine, ece god,
on þinre soðre æ      sylfa getyhtest

30

and hine þeodscipe      ðinne lærest
and him yfele dagas      ealle gebeorgest,
oðþæt bið frecne seað      þam fyrenfullan
deop adolfen      deorc and ðystre.
Næfre wiðdrifeð      drihten ure

35

his agen folc,      ne his yrfe þon ma
on ealdre wile      æfre forlætan.
Hwylc þonne gena      gehwyrfed byð,
þæt he on unriht      eft ne cyrre;
oððe hwylc nymeð me,      þæt ic man fleo

40

and mid rihtheortum      rædes þence?
Hwylc ariseð mid me,      þæt ic riht fremme
and wið awyrgedum      winne and stande,

Nymðe me drihten,      dema usser,

45

wenincga min sawl      sohte helle.
Gif ic þæs sægde,      þæt min sylfes fot

55

Ne ætfyligeð þe ahwær      facen ne unriht;

and heora sawle      ofslean þenceað,

60

Forðon me is geworden      wealdend drihten
to friðstole      fæst and gestaðelad;

þonne him gyldeð      god ælmihtig
ealle þa unriht      ðe hi geearnedan,

65

and on heora facne      fæste todrifeð
