The Paris Psalter: Psalm 128
Verse Indeterminate Saxon


Oft me fuhtan to      fynd on geoguðe,
cweðan Israhelas nu      eac þæt sylfe;
oft me fuhtan to      fynd on geoguþe,
ne mihton hi awiht æt me      æfre gewyrcean.

Ofer minum bæce      bitere ongunnon
þa firenfullan      facen timbrian,
and heora unriht      eft gelengdon.
Drihten is soðfæst,      and gedeð sniome,
þæt he firenfullra      fæcne geðancas

10

and hiora scamiað      swiþust ealles,

Of þam he ne gefylleð      folme æfre,
