The Paris Psalter: Psalm 112
Verse Indeterminate Saxon
Herigean nu cnihtas hælynd drihten,
and naman dryhtnes neode herigan.
Wese nama dryhtnes neode gebletsad
of ðyssan forð awa to worulde.
5
Fram upgange æryst sunnan
oðþæt heo wende on westrodur
ge sculon dryhtnes naman dædum herigean.
He is ofer ealle ingeþeode
se heahsta hæleða cynnes,
10
is ofer heofenas eac ahafen his wuldur.
Hwylc ys anlic urum dryhtne,
þam halgan gode, þe on heofonrice
eadig eardað, ofer ealle gesyhð,
þa eadmedu æghwær begangæð
15
on eorðwege, up on heofenum?
He of eorðan mæg þone unagan
weccan to willan, and of woruftorde
þone þearfendan þriste areccan,
And hine on ealdordom upp asettan
20
his folces fruman on fæger lif.
Se þe eard seteð unwæstmbærre
on modor hus manigra bearna;
hio ofer hire suna symblað and blissað.
