Sealm 25

1 Dem me, Drihten, for þam ic eom unscyldig wið þas mine fynd; and ic hopige to Drihtne, and ic ne weorðe for þi geuntrumod.

2 Fanda min, Drihten, and smea mine geþohtas,

3 for þan þin mildheortnes ys beforan minum eagum, and ic symle tilode mid rihtwisnesse þe and him to licianne.

4 Ne sæt ic na on þære samnunge idelra manna and unnytra, ne ic ineode on þæt geþeaht unrihtwyrcendra,

5 ac ic hatode þa gesamnunge unrihtwisra. For þam ic næfre ne teolade sittan on anum willan mid þam arleasum,

6 ac ic wilnode symle þæt ic aðwoge mine handa betwuh þam unscæððigum (þæt is, þæt ic wære unscyldig betwuh him), þæt ic meahte hweorfan ymb þinne þone halgan alter, Drihten,

7 and þær gehyran þa stemne þines lofes, and þæt ic mæge cyþan eall þin wundru.

8 Drihten, ic lufode þone wlite þines huses and þa stowe þines wuldorfæstan temples.

9 Ac ne forleos mine sawle ongemang þam arleasum, ne min lif betwuh þam manslagum,

10 þæra handa and þæra weorc syndon fulle unrihtwisnesse, [Line 2 missing]
