172 Hwæt, tunge min teala foresægde, hu þinre spræce spede eodan; wærun eall þin bebodu æghwær rihtwis.
For ðon ic eall þin bebod elne healde, and ic unrihte wegas ealle feoge.
Ic on minum welerum wordum secge ealles þines muðes meahte domas.
Hwæt, ðu soðfæst weorc symble hete on þinre gewitnesse wel gehealdan; ealles forgeaton, þa me grame wæron, worda þinra and me wa dydana.
Is þin soðfæstnes symble, Drihten, seo soðfæste, and seo symble bið on ecnesse awa to feore; is þin swylce æðelnes and æ soðfæst.
And ic þæt fore cyningum cyðan mote, þær hig eagum on locian, hu me þin gewitnyss ys weorð and getreowe, and on ðam ne beon æfre gescynded.
Wærun þine ealle gebann æðele and soðfæst min ehtan oft unrihtwyrhtan; gefultuma me fægere, Drihten.
Se muð þæs rihtwisan smeað wisdom and his tunge sprycð rihte domas.
Noldan hi þa swiðe heora synna dyrnan, ac ylda gehwylc oðrum cyðde. Sægdon lof symble leofum Drihtne and his þa myclan miht, mænigu wundur, þa he geworhte wera cneorissum.
