Ic þe andette,      ecne drihten,
on minre gehygde      heortan ealre;
forðon þu ealle mine word      earum gehyrdest,

5

and on þinra engla      ealra gesihðe
ic þe singe      swiðe geneahhige.
Eac ic þin tempel      tidum weorðige,
þæt halige hus,      holde mode,
and þær þinne naman      on neod secge.

10

Ofer þine þa miclan      mildheortnesse
and soðfæstnesse      samed ætgædere,
þu þinne þone halgan naman      neode gedydest,
ofer us ealle      æghwær micelne.
Swa hwylce daga      ic þe deorne cige,

15

gehyr me hwætlice,      and me hraðe gedo
micle mine sawle      on þines mægenes sped.
Ealle þe andettan      eorðan kyningas,
forðon þe hi gehyrdon      hlude reorde
þines muðes      þa mæran word;

20

þa on sangum      singan drihtne.
Forþon þin wuldur is      wide geond eorðan

eart þu healice      ahafen, drihten;

þeah þe ic on midle      manes gange,
þær me costunga      cnysdan geneahhe,
a þu me weredest      wraþum feondum
þe me woldan yrre      on acyðan;

30

þu me geræhtest      recene mid handa
and me þin swyðre      sneome hælde.
Drihten for me      dome gylde,
is his mildheortnes      mycel on worulde;
ne forseoh æfre,      þæt þu sylfa ær

35

mid þinum handum      her geworhtest.
