The Paris Psalter: Psalm 56

Miltsa min, god, and me milde weorð, forþon min sawel on þe swyðe getryweð, and ic on fægerum scuan fiðera ðinra gewicie, oðþæt gewite forð and unriht me eall beglide. Heonan ic cleopige to heahgode and to wealdendgode, ðe me wel dyde. He þa of heofenum hider onsende þe me alysde, laþum wiðferede, sealde on edwit þe me ær trædan. Sende mihtig god his milde gehigd and his soðfæst mod samod ætgædere, and mine sawle sona alysde of leon hwelpum reðe gemanan;

wæs ic slæpende sare gedrefed. Synd me manna bearn mihtigum toðum wæpenstrælas, þa me wundedon; wæron hyra tungan getale teonan gehwylcre and to yfele gehwam ungemet scearpe. Ahefe þe ofer heofenas, halig drihten; is wuldur ðin wide and side ofer ðas eorþan ealle mære. Fotum heo minum fæcne grine grame gearwodon, and geornlice mine sawle swyðe onbigdon. Hi deopne seað dulfon widne, þær ic eagum on locade, and hi on ðone ylcan eft gefeollan.

Gearo is min heorte þæt ic gode cweme; gearo is min heorte þæt ic gode swylce sealmas singe, soðword sprece. Aris, wuldur min, wynpsalterium, and ic on ærmergene eac arise and min hearpe herige drihten. Ic þe on folcum frine drihten ecne andete, eac geond þeode sealmas singe swiðe geneahhige. Forðon þin mildheortnes is mycel wið heofenas, is ðin soðfæstnes swylce wið wolcnum. Ahafen þu eart ofer heofenas, halig drihten; is ofer ealle eorðan swylce þines wuldres wlite wide and side.
