The Paris Psalter: Psalm 129
Ic of grundum to þe
geomur cleopode;
drihten, drihten,
do þu nu ða,
þæt þu mines gebedes
bene gehyre.
Wesan þine earan
eac gehyrende
5
and beheldende
mid hige swylce
on eall gebedd
esnes þines.
Gif þu ure unriht wilt
eall behealdan,
drihten, drihten,
hwa gedeð æfre,
þæt he þæt geefne
eall mid rihte?
10
Ys seo mildheortnes mid þe,
mihta wealdend,
and ic for ðinre æ,
ece drihten,
þas oþer eall
eaðe aræfnige.
Hwæt, þæt sawl min
symble aræfnede,
þæt ic on þinum wordum
me wel getreowde;
15
forðon min sawl on þe
symble getreoweð.
Fram þære mæran
mergentide
oðþæt æfen cume
ylda bearnum,
Israhelas on drihten
a getreowen.
Forðon
is[?]
mildheortnesse
miht on drihtne
20
and he alyseð
lustum ealle,
þa ðe hiht on hine
habbað fæste.
He Israhelas
ealle alyseð
of unrihte
æghwær[?]
symble.
