2 oft me fuhtan to fynd on geoguþe, ne mihton hi awiht æt me æfre gewyrcean.
Ic wæs hearde cnyssed and ic me helpe fand, þæt ic fæste ne feoll, ac ic me frofre begeat, þa me Dryhten onfeng, swa hit gedefe wæs.
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.
Monigu synt earfoðu þara rihtwisena, and of eallum þæm hi alysð Drihten.
Swa heort wilnað to wætre þonne he werig byð oþþe ofþyrst, swa wilnað min sawl and min mod to þe, Drihten.
