The Paris Psalter (Old English) · c. 10th century
Psalm 51
fore ænigre egesan næfde,
ne him fultum þær fæstne gelyfde;
ac he on his welan spede wræste getruwode,
and on idel gylp ealra geornost.
Ic þonne swa elebeam up weaxende
on godes huse ece gewene,
and on milde mod mines drihtnes,
and me þæt to worulde wat to helpe.
Ic þe andette awa to feore
on þære worulde ðe þu geworhtest her;
forþan þu eart se gooda, gleaw on gesyhðe,
þe þinne held curan, þara haligra.
