The Paris Psalter (Old English) · c. 10th century
Psalm 122
To þe ic mine eagan hof, ece drihten,
þu þe heofonhamas healdest and wealdest.
Efne mine eagan synt ealra gelicast
þonne esne bið, þonne ondrysnum
his hlaforde hereð and cwemeð.
And swa eagan gað earmre þeowenan,
þonne heo on hire hlæfdigean handa locað,
swa us synt eagan to ðe, ece drihten,
urum þam godan gode; geare lociað,
oþþæt us miltsige mihta wealdend.
Miltsa us nu ða, mihtig drihten,
miltsa us swylce, forþon we manegum synt
forhogednessum hearde gefylde.
And we manegum synd manna wordum
ure sawl swiðe gefylled
mid edwite, oft and geneahhe,
and us oferhydige forseoð oft and gelome.
