The Paris Psalter: Psalm 129
Verse Indeterminate Saxon
Ic of grundum to þe geomur cleopode;
drihten, drihten, do þu nu ða,
þæt þu mines gebedes bene gehyre.
Wesan þine earan eac gehyrende
5
and beheldende mid hige swylce
on eall gebedd esnes þines.
Gif þu ure unriht wilt eall behealdan,
drihten, drihten, hwa gedeð æfre,
þæt he þæt geefne eall mid
rihte?
10
Ys seo mildheortnes mid þe, mihta wealdend,
and ic for ðinre æ, ece drihten,
þas oþer eall eaðe aræfnige.
Hwæt, þæt sawl min symble aræfnede,
þæt ic on þinum wordum me wel getreowde;
15
forðon min sawl on þe symble getreoweð.
Fram þære mæran mergentide
oðþæt æfen cume ylda bearnum,
Israhelas on drihten a getreowen.
Forðon is mildheortnesse miht
on drihtne
20
and he alyseð lustum ealle,
þa ðe hiht on hine habbað fæste.
He Israhelas ealle alyseð
of unrihte æghwær symble.
