The Paris Psalter: Psalm 81
God mihtig stod
godum on gemange,
and he hi on midle
mægene tosceadeð.
Hu lange deme ge
domas unrihte,
and ge onfoð ansyna
synnwyrcendra?
5
Demað steopcildum
domas soðe
and eadmedum
eac þæt sylfe,
wædlum and ðearfum
wel soðfæstum.
Ge[?] of firenfulra
fæcnum handum
þearfan and wædlan
þriste alysað.
10
Ne ongeatan hi
ne geara wistan,
ac hi on ðystrum
þrage eodan;
ealle abeofedan
eorðan staþelas.
Ic ærest cwæð:
"Ge synd uppe godu,
ealle uphea,
and æðele bearn.
15
Ge þonne sweltað
samod mid mannum,
swa ealdormann
an gefealleð."
Aris drihten, nu!
Dem eorðware,
forþan þu eart erfeweard
ealra ðeoda.
