The Paris Psalter: Psalm 51

 

fore ænigre      egesan næfde,

 

ne him fultum þær      fæstne gelyfde;

 

ac he on his welan spede      wræste getruwode,

 

and on idel gylp      ealra geornost.

5

Ic þonne swa elebeam      up weaxende

 

on godes huse      ece gewene,

 

and on milde mod      mines drihtnes,

 

and me þæt to worulde      wat to helpe.

 

Ic þe andette      awa to feore

10

on þære worulde      ðe þu geworhtest her;

 

forþan þu eart se gooda,      gleaw on gesyhðe,

 

þe þinne held curan,      þara haligra.
