3 Drihten, min God, gif ic to þisum þe me nu swencað þæs geearnod hæbbe, þæt hi nu doð, oððe ænig unriht wið hi gedon hæbbe,
Me ymbhringdon swiðe mænige calfru (þæt synt, lytle and niwe fynd), and þa fættan fearas me ofsæton (þæt synd, strengran fynd).
Ahrede mine sawle æt heora sweordum, and of þæs hundes handa min lif.
Þi nu mine sawle swiþe bysige feondas mine fæcne ofþryhtun, and me strange eac stundum ongunnon;
Gif ic me unrihtes oncneow awiht on heortan, ne wite me þæt, wealdend Drihten.
