On hwan mæg se iunga on gōdne weg rihtran þe rædran ræd gemittan, þonne he þine wisan word gehealde?
Þa þe teohhiað þæt hi scylen hi sylfe weorðian mid idelre spræce, hy cweðað: “Hwi! ne synt we muðfreo? Hu! ne moton we sprecan þæt we wyllað? Hwæt ondræde we? Hwylc hlaford mæg us forbeodan urne willan?”
Sete swæse geheald swylce, Drihten, muðe minum, ne læt man sprecan, and æþele dor ymbstandende, þæt on welerum wisdom healde.
Forbeode his tungan ælc yfel and his weolorum, þæt hi ne sprecon nan facn.
Ic mine sawle symble wylle full gleawlice Gode underþeodan; æt him is hælu min her eall gelancg.
Ic mid stefne ongann styrman to Drihtne, and he me gehyrde and beheold sona.
