The Paris Psalter: Psalm 94

 

Cumað nu togædere,      wutun cweman gode,

urum hælende      hyldo gebeodan.

 

Wutun his ansyne      ærest secean,

5

þæt we andettan      ure fyrene

 

and we sealmas him      singan mid wynne.

 

Forðon is se micla god      mihtig drihten

 

and se micla cynincg      ofer eall manna godu.

 

Forðon ne wiðdrifeð      drihten usser

10

he þas heahbeorgas      healdeð swylce.

 

Eac he sæs wealdeð      and he sette þone;

 

worhte his folme eac      foldan drige.

 

Cumað him fore      and cneow bigeað

15

and him wepan fore      ðe us worhte ær.

 

Forðon he is drihten god,      dema usser;

 

wærun we his fæle folc      and his fægere sceap,

20

Gif ge to dæge      drihtnes stefne

deorce forhyrden      drihtnes willan.

 

Swa on grimnesse      fyrn geara dydan

25

and min sylfes weorc      gesawon mid eagum.

 

Nu ic feowertig      folce þyssum

30

þæt hi on heortan      hyge dysegedan.
