The Paris Psalter: Psalm 121
Verse Indeterminate Saxon


Ic on ðyssum eom      eallum bliðe,
þæt me cuðlice to      acweden syndon,
and on godes hus      gange syððan.
Wæron fæststealle      fotas mine

5

on þinum cafertunum,      þær ure cyðð wæs,
on Hierusalem      geara ærest.
Hierusalem,      geara ðu wære
swa swa cymlic      ceaster getimbred,
þær syndon dælas      on sylfre hire.

10

þær cneorisse      cende wæron
cynn æfter cynne;      cuðan þa drihten
and on þære gewitnesse      wæran Israelas,
þe his naman      neode sceoldon
him andetnes      æghwær habban.

15

Oft hi þær on seldon      sæton æt domum;
þu eart ðonne dema,      Dauides hus,
þæt on heofenum siteþ      heah gestaðelod.
Biddað eow bealde      beorhtere sibbe,
ða ðe on Hierusalem      gode syndan;

20

and geniht agun,      þa þe neode þe
on heora lufun      lustum healdað.
Si þe on þinum mægene sib      mæst and fyrmest,
and on þinum torrum wese      tidum genihtsum.
For mine broðru      ic bidde nu,

25

and mine þa neahstan      nemne swylce,
þæt we sibbe on ðe      symble habbon.
And ic for mines godes huse      georne þingie,
and to minum drihtne      deorum sece,
þæt ic god æt him      begitan mote.
