The Paris Psalter: Psalm 115
Ic þæt gelyfde,
forþon ic lyt sprece;
ic eom eadmede
ungemete swiðe.
Swylce ic sylfa cwæð,
þa me swa ðuhte
on modseofan
minum geþancum,
5
þæt wæron ealle menn
ungemete lease.
Hwæt mæg ic to gode
gyldan dryhtne
for eallum þam godum
þe he me ærur dyde?
Ic her hælu calic
hæbbe[?] befangen,
and naman dryhtnes
neode cige.
10
Beorht ys and fæger
beacen dryhtne
on his gesyhðe
swylt haligra.
Eala, ic eom þin agen
esne, dryhten,
and þin swylce eom
scealc ombehte
and þinre þeowan sunu
on ðe acenned.
15
þu me tobræce
bendas grimme,
þæt ic þe laces lof
lustum secge.
Ic min gehat
halgum dryhtne
on his getynum
tidum gylde,
þe ymb dryhtnes hus
deore syndan,
20
þær hit eagum folc
eall sceawiað,
and on Hierusalem
georne midre.
