Psalm 110
Ic andytte þe, ece drihten,
mid hyge ealle heortan minre
for gesamnuncge þæra soðfæstra
and on gemetingum mycel drihtnes weorc.
Swylce ic his willan wylle georne
swyþe secean, samed andettan,
hu his mægenþrymnes mycellic standeð
and his soðfæstnyss wunað symble ece.
He gemynd dyde mærra wundra;
mildheort he is and modig; mihtig drihten
syleð eallum mete þam þe his ege habbað.
And he on worulde wearð gemyndig
his gewitnesse, þe he wel swylce
myhtum miclum and mærweorcum
fægrum gefylde and to his folce cwæð,
þæt he him wolde yrfe ellþeodigra
on agene æht eall gesyllan.
Ys his handgeweorc hyge soðfæstra,
ryhte domas, þa he ræran wyle;
wærun his bebodu ealle treowfæste,
on ealra weorulda weoruld wurdan soðfæste
and on rihtnysse ræda getrymede.
He alysinge leofum folce
soðe onsende and him swylce bebead,
þæt hi on ecnysse a syððan
his gewitnesse well geheoldan
and his þone halgan naman hæfdan mid egsan.
þæt byð secga gehwam snytru on frymðe,
þæt he godes egesan gleawe healde,
and þæt byð andgit good eallum swylce
þe hine wyllað well wyrcean and healdan.
Herenes drihtnes her sceal wunian,
on worulda woruld wynnum standan.
