The Paris Psalter: Psalm 122

 

To þe ic mine eagan hof,      ece drihten,

 

þu þe heofonhamas      healdest and wealdest.

 

Efne mine eagan synt      ealra gelicast

 

þonne esne bið,      þonne ondrysnum

5

his hlaforde      hereð and cwemeð.

 

And swa eagan gað      earmre þeowenan,

 

þonne heo on hire hlæfdigean      handa locað,

 

swa us synt eagan to ðe,      ece drihten,

 

urum þam godan gode;      geare lociað,

10

oþþæt us miltsige      mihta wealdend.

 

Miltsa us nu ða,      mihtig drihten,

 

miltsa us swylce,      forþon we manegum synt

 

forhogednessum      hearde gefylde.

 

And we manegum synd      manna wordum

15

ure sawl      swiðe gefylled

 

mid edwite,      oft and geneahhe,

 

and us oferhydige forseoð      oft and gelome.
