The Paris Psalter (Old English) · c. 10th century
Psalm 69
Wes, drihten god, deore fultum;
beheald, drihten, me, and me hraðe syþþan
gefultuma æt feorhþearfe.
þonne beoð gescende and scame dreogað,
þa þe mine fynd fæcne wæron
and mine sawle sohton mid niðe.
Hi on hinderlincg hweorfað and cyrrað;
ealle hiora scamien, þe me yfel hogedon.
And heora æfstu eac ealle sceamien,
þe me word cwædon: "Weg la, weg la!"
Habban þa mid wynne weorðe blisse,
þa þe secean symble drihten,
and symble cweðen: "Sy þin miht, drihten!"
and þine hælu holde lufigean.
Ic eom wædla and worldþearfa;
gefultuma me, god, frea ælmihtig.
þu me fultum eart fæste, drihten,
eart alysend min; ne lata þu awiht.
