The Paris Psalter: Psalm 110

 

Ic andytte þe,      ece drihten,

 

mid hyge ealle      heortan minre

 

for gesamnuncge      þæra soðfæstra

 

and on gemetingum      mycel drihtnes weorc.

5

Swylce ic his willan      wylle georne

 

swyþe secean,      samed andettan,

 

hu his mægenþrymnes[?]      mycellic standeð

 

and his soðfæstnyss wunað      symble ece.

 

He gemynd dyde      mærra wundra;

10

mildheort he is and modig;      mihtig drihten

 

syleð eallum mete      þam þe his ege habbað.

 

And he on worulde      wearð gemyndig

 

his gewitnesse,      þe he wel swylce

 

myhtum miclum[?]      and mærweorcum

15

fægrum gefylde      and to his folce cwæð,

 

þæt he him wolde yrfe      ellþeodigra

 

on agene æht      eall gesyllan.

 

Ys his handgeweorc      hyge soðfæstra,

 

ryhte domas,      þa he ræran wyle;

20

wærun his bebodu      ealle treowfæste,

 

on ealra weorulda weoruld      wurdan soðfæste

 

and on rihtnysse      ræda getrymede.

 

He alysinge      leofum folce

 

soðe onsende      and him swylce bebead,

25

þæt hi on ecnysse      a syððan

 

his gewitnesse      well geheoldan

 

and his þone halgan naman      hæfdan mid egsan.

 

þæt byð secga gehwam      snytru on frymðe,

 

þæt he godes egesan      gleawe healde,

30

and þæt byð andgit good      eallum swylce

 

þe hine wyllað well      wyrcean and healdan.

 

Herenes drihtnes      her sceal wunian,

 

on worulda woruld      wynnum standan.
