by Anonymous (Old English) c. 7th–11th century


Dem, drihten, nu þa me deredon ær,
afeoht swylce þa me fuhtan to.
Gegrip gar and scyld, and me georne gestand
on fultume wið feonda gryre.
Heald me herewæpnum wið unholdum
and wige beluc wraðum feondum
þe min ehtend ealle syndon;
sæge þonne syððan sawle minre
þæt ðu hire on hæle hold gestode.
