Psalm 92

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


Drihten hine gegyrede gode strengðe,
and hine þa mid micle mægene begyrde.
Drihten rixað, dema usser,
and hine mid weorðlice wlite gegyrede.
And þa ymbhwyrft eorþan getrymede,
swa folde stod fæste syþþan.
Gearu is þin setl, and þu, ece god,
ær worulde fruman, wunast butan ende.
Hofan heora stefne streamas, drihten,
hofan and hlynsadan hludan reorde
fram wæterstefnum widra manigra.
Wræclice syndon wægea gangas,
þonne sæstreamas swiðust flowað;
swa is wundorlic wealdend usser
halig drihten on heanessum.
þin gewitnes is weorcum geleafsum,
and mid soðe is swiðe getreowed.
Huse þinum halig gedafenað,
drihten usser, and dagas lange.
