1 To þe ic mine eagan hof, ece Drihten, þu þe heofonhamas healdest and wealdest.
Drihten ys on his halgan temple, se Drihten se, þæs setl ys on heofenum. His egan lociað on his earman þearfan; his bræwas (þæt ys, his rihta dom) ahsað manna bearn.
Ys ure se halga God on heofondreame uppe mid englum, and he eall gedeð, swa his willa byð, on woruldrice.
Ic me to Drihtne deorum cleopode, þonne me costunga cnysdon geneahhe, and he me gehyrde holde mode.
Hof ic mine eagan to þam hean beorge, þær ic fultum fand fælne æt þearfe.
Ic on ðyssum eom eallum bliðe, þæt me cuðlice to acweden syndon, and on Godes hus gange syððan.
Nymþe us on wese ece Drihten, cweþað Israhelas ealle nu ða,
Þa þe on Drihten heora dædum getreowað, hi beoð on Sionbeorge swyþe gelice; ne mæg hine on ealdre ænig onhreran þe eardfæst byð on Hierusalem.
Þonne Drihten wyle gedon æfter, þæt he of Sione swære ahweorfe hæftned hefige, syððan we hraðe weorðað afrefrede fægere ealle.
Nymþe hus timbrige halig Drihten, on idel gylp oðre winnað þe þæs huses hrof staðeliað. Nymðe gehealde eac halig Drihten ceastre mid cynnum, ne mæg hi cynlice wæccende weard gehealdan.
Eadige syndon ealle þe him ecne god Drihten ondrædað, and his gedefne weg on hyra lifes tid lustum gangað.
Oft me fuhtan to fynd on geoguðe, cweðan Israhelas nu eac þæt sylfe;
Ic of grundum to þe geomur cleopode;
Nis min heorte wið þe ahafen, Drihten, ne mine eagan wið þe on oferhygde. Ne ic on mægene miclum gange ne wundur ofer me wuniað ænig.
Gemune þu, Drihten, mærne Dauid and ealle his mannþwærnesse micle and goode.
Efne hu glædlic bið and gōd swylce, þætte broður on an begen hicgen, þær hig ænne sculan eard weardian.
Efne bletsien nu bliðe Drihten ealle his agene onbyhtscealcas. Ge þe on Godes huse gearwe standað, and on cafertunum Cristes huses ures þæs halgan godes held begangað.
For þon ic, Drihten, on þe dædum minum eagum and mode æghwær gelyfe; ne ascuf þu fram me sawle mine.
Hwæt forstent heora spræc (cwæð se witega) þeah hi swa cweðen, for þam se God þe on heofonum ys hig gehyspð, and Drihten hyg gescent;
Symle lociað mine eagan to Gode, for þam he alysð mine fet of gryne.
