The Paris Psalter: Psalm 113
Verse Indeterminate Saxon
þa ut eode Israheles cynn
and of ægyptum ealle foran
Iacobes hus of gramum folce,
þa elreordige ealle wæron.
5
þa wæs geworden werude Iudea,
þæt heo hæl gehlutan haliges syþþan;

mihta mære and mycel rice.
Swa heo sæ geseah, he hio sniome fleah,
10
for him Iordanen gengde on hinder.
Hæfdan þær beorgas bliðe sæle
and rammum þa restan gelice;
wæron geswyru swyðe on blisse,
swa on sceapum beoð sceone lambru.
15
Hwæt wæs þe, sæ swiþa?
Forhwan fluge þu swa?
Oððe þu, Iordanen, for hwi gengdest on
bæcling?
Beorgas wæron bliðe, gebærdon swa rammas;
wurdan gesweoru on seledreame,
swa on sceapum beoð sceone lambru.
20
For ansyne ecan dryhtnes

Nalæs us, nalæs us, nergend dryhten,
ac we naman þinum neode secgeað

For ðinre þære myclan mildheortnysse
30
and for þinre soðfæstnysse samed ætgædere,

"Hwær is heora agen god ahwær nu ða?"
Ys ure se halga god on heofondreame

35
swa his willa byð, on woruldrice.
þa wæron deofulgild deorce hæþenra

Ne cleopigað hi care, þeah þe hi ceolan

Ac heo wæron þam wyrcendum wel gelice
50

Weorð þu ure gemyndig, mihtig dryhten,

70
Wesað ge fram gode geara gebletsade,

Næfre þe, dryhten, deade heriað,

Ac we lifigende leofne dryhten
