1Me eardað æt æþele fultum
þæs hehstan heofonrices weard,
þe me æt wunað awa to feore.
2Ic to Drihtne cwæð: “Þu me dyre eart
fæle fultum; hæbbe ic freond on him,
min se gōda God, and ic on ðe geare hycge.”
3Forðon he me alysde of laðum grine,
huntum unholdum, hearmum worde.
4He me mid his gesculdrum sceade beþeahte;
for þon ic under fiðrum fæle hihte.
5Hwæt, me soðfæstnes min scylde wið feondum,
ne ðu þe nihtegsan nede ondrædest.
6Ne forhtast þu ðe on dæge flan on lyfte,
þæt þe þurhgangan garas on ðeostrum,
oððe on midne dæg mære deoful.
7Fealleð þe on þa wynstran wergra þusend,
and eac geteledra tyn þusendo
on þine þa swiðran, and þe ne sceaðeð ænig.
8Hwæðere þu ðæs eagan eall sceawadest,
gesege fyrenfulra frecne wite.
9Þu me eart se hehsta hyht, halig Drihten;
þu me friðstol on ðe fæstne settest.
10Ne mæg þe ænig yfel egle weorðan,
ne heard sweopu huse þinum
on neaweste nahwær sceþþan.
11For þon he his englum bebead, þæt hi mid earmum þe
on heora handum heoldan georne,
þæt þu wilwega wealdan mostest.
12And þe on folmum feredan swylce,
þe læs þu fræcne on stan fote spurne.
13Þu ofer aspide miht eaðe gangan,
and bealde nu basiliscan tredan,
and leon and dracan liste gebygean.
14For ðon he hyhte to me, ic hine hraðe lyse,
niode hine scylde, nu he cuðe naman minne.
15He cigde me, and ic hine cuðlice
hold gehyrde, and hine hraðe syþþan
of earfoþum ut alysde.
16Ic hine generige and his naman swylce
gewuldrige geond ealle werðeoda,
and him lifdagas lange sylle,
swylce him mine hælu holde ætywe.
