Psalm 50
Verse Indeterminate Saxon


Dauid wæs haten      diormod hæleð,
Israela brega,      æðelæ and rice,
cyninga cynost,      Criste liofost.
Wæs he under hiofenum      hearpera mærost

5

ðara we an folcum      gefrigen hæbben.
Sangere he wæs soðfæstest,      swiðe geðancol
to ðingienne      þiodum sinum
wið þane mildostan      manna sceppend.
Wæs se dryhtnes ðiowa      Dauid æt wige

10

Hweðere him geiode,      swa ful oft gedeð
þætte godferhte      gylt gefræmmað

15

þurh lichaman      lene geðohtas.
Gelamp þæt him mon ansende      saula neriend,

20

Miserere mei deus secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. "Miltsa ðu me, meahta walden,      nu ðu wast manna geðohtas,

Et secundum multitudinem miserationem tuarum dele iniquitatem meam. Ond eac efter menio      miltsa ðinra,
dryhten weoruda,      adilga min unriht
to forgefenesse      gaste minum.

40

Amplius laua me ab iniustitia mea et a delicta mea munda mæ. Aðweah me of sennum,      saule fram wammum,
