1 Dem me, Dryhten, and do sum toscead betwuh me and unrihtwisum folce, and from facenfullum menn and unrihtwisum gefriða me,
Þa on hyge þohtan, þæt hi ahyltan me and minne gang georne swylce, forhyddan oferhygde me inwitgyrene, wraðan wealsadan wundnum rapum; woldan mine fotas gefæstnian, settan me swyce, þær ic siþade.
Dem me, Drihten, for þam ic eom unscyldig wið þas mine fynd; and ic hopige to Drihtne, and ic ne weorðe for þi geuntrumod.
Dem me, Drihten, and þæm þe me swencað; feoht wið þa þe wið me feohtað,
Drihten, Drihten, min God, dem me æfter þinre mildheortnesse, þæt mine fynd ne gefeon mines ungelimpes;
and þu fordest þa þe symle leasinga specað. And þa manslagan and þa swicolan þu forsyhst.
For þam me fremde oft facne gestodon, sohtan mine sawle swiðe strange, and na heom God setton gleawne on gesyhðe.
Gif þu swa dest, þonne cymð swiðe mycel folc to þinum þeowdome, and þu uppastihst and hi mid þe lætst to heofonum.
Drihten, dem folcum and dem me. Drihten, dem me æfter minum gewyrhtan, and dem me æfter minre unscæðfulnesse.
Geenda nu þæt yfel þæra unrihtwisra, and gerece and geræd þa rihtwisan, þu, Drihten, þe smeast heortan and ædra and manna geþohtas.
alys me feondum nu, and me of folmum afere firenwyrcendra, þe þine æ efnan nellað; syndon unrihtes ealle wyrcende.
for þon him is dema Drihten sylfa. Sumne he gehyneð, sumne ahefeð sniome;
