2 Þa of heofenum beseah ­ ­ ­ ­ ­halig Drihten ofer manna bearn, ­ ­ ­ ­ ­hwæðer his mihta ða andgyt ænig ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ealra hæfde, oððe God wolde ­ ­ ­ ­ ­georne secan.

3 Ealle heo on ane ­ ­ ­ ­ ­idelnesse symle besegan; ­ ­ ­ ­ ­þa wæs soð nan mann þe gōd wolde ­ ­ ­ ­ ­georne wyrcan; ne an furþum ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ealra wære.

6 Hwylc Israela ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ece hælu syleð of Sione ­ ­ ­ ­ ­nymðe sylfa God, þonne he his folc ­ ­ ­ ­ ­fægere alyseð of hæftnyde, ­ ­ ­ ­ ­halig Drihten? Þonne Iacob byð ­ ­ ­ ­ ­on glædum sælum and Israelas ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ealle bliðe.

The first 50 psalms are credited to King Alfred the Great and were written in c.890-899 AD, and the last 100 psalms were translated c.900-950 AD by an unknown poet.
