The Paris Psalter: Psalm 114
Ic lufie þe,
leofa drihten,
forþan þu mines gebedes
bene gehyrdest.
And þu þin eare to me
eadmodlice
hold ahyldest
and gehyrdest me,
5
þa ic þe on dagum minum
dyrne cigde.
þar me ymbsealde
swylde deaðes,
and me frecne ætfeah
fyrhtu helle.
Me costung and sar
cnyssedan geneahhe,
þonne ic naman drihtnes
nyde cigde.
10
Eala þu leofa god,
alys mine nu
sawle on gesyntum;
ic to soþan wat,
þæt þu wære mildheort,
mihtig dryhten,
and ure god
æghwæs soðfæst;
mihta us þine
milde weorðan.
15
Drihten gehealdeð
dome þa lytlan;
ic hean gewearð,
he me hraðe lysde.
Gecyr mine sawle
clæne on þine
rædæs reste,
rice drihten;
þu me wel dydest
on woruldlife.
20
Forþon þu mine sawle
sylfa generedyst,
and hig of deopum
deaþe gelæddest;
eagan mine wið tearum
æghwær geheolde
and fet mine
wið færslide;
ic gelicie
leofum drihtne
25
on lifigendra
lande nu ða.
