The Paris Psalter: Psalm 69

Verse Indeterminate Saxon

Wes, drihten god, deore fultum;
beheald, drihten, me, and me hraðe syþþan
gefultuma æt feorhþearfe.
þonne beoð gescende and scame dreogað,
5
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,
10
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.
15
Ic eom wædla and worldþearfa;
gefultuma me, god, frea ælmihtig.
þu me fultum eart fæste, drihten,
eart alysend min; ne lata þu awiht.
