1Synd me wic þine weorðe and leofe,
mægena Drihten; 2a ic on mode þæs
willum hæfde, þet ic him wunude onn.
Heorte min and flæsc hyhtað georne
on þone lifigendan leofan Drihten;
3him eac spedlice spearuwa hus begyteð,
and tidlice turtle nistlað,
þær hio afedeð fugelas geonge.
Wærun wigbedu þin, weoruda Drihten;
þu eart Drihten min and deore cynincg.
4Eadige weorðað, þa þe eardiað
on þinum husum, halig Drihten,
and þe on worulda woruld, wealdend, heriað.
5Þæt byð eadig wer, se þe him oðerne
fultum ne seceð nymþe fælne God,
and þæt on heortan hige healdeð fæste,
6geseteð him þæt sylfe on ðisse sargan dene,
þær hi teara teonan cnyssað
on þam sylfan stede þe þu him settest her.
7Brohte him bletsunge se ðe him beorhte æ
soðe sette; syþþan eodan
of mægene on mægen; þær wæs miht gesawen
on Sionbeorge soðes Drihtnes.
8Gehyr min gebed, halig Drihten,
þu eart mære God, mildum earum,
and Iacobes God se mæra.
9Beseoh Drihten nu, scyldend usser;
oncnaw onsyne cristes þines.
10Betere is micle to gebidanne
anne dæg mid þe þonne oðera
on þeodstefnum þusend mæla.
Ic me þæs wyrce and wel ceose,
þæt ic hean gange on hus Godes,
þonne ic on fyrenfulra folce eardige.
11For þon God lufað geornast ealles,
þæt man si mildheort mode soðfæst,
þonne him God gyfeð gyfe and wuldur.
Nele God æfre gōde bedælan,
þa ðe heortan gehygd healdað clæne;
12þæt bið eadig mann, se þe him ecean Godes
to mundbyrde miht gestreoneð.
