# The Paris Psalter: Psalm 139

# 
genere me wiþ niþe || on naman þinum
fram yfelum menn || ece drihten
and fram þam were || þe wom fremme

# 
þa ealne dæg || inwit and facen
hycgeaþ on heortan || þurh hearme geþoht
hi þæt to gefeohte georne || gefremed habbaþ

# 
and heora tungan || torncwidum
neode serwaþ || swa oft nædran doþ
and him aspidas || ætrene wyrmas
under welerum is || gewunad fæste

# 
geheald þu me drihten || wiþ heteniþas
and wiþ firenfulles || folmum swylce
and fram þam mannum || þe man fremmen
alys þu me lungre || lifes ealdur

# 
þa on hyge þohtan || þæt hi ahyltan me
and minne gang || georne swylce
forhyddan oferhygde me || inwitgyrene
wraþan wealsadan || wundnum rapum
woldan mine fotas || gefæstnian
settan me swyce || þær ic siþade

# 
ic þa to drihtne cwæþ || þu me eart dyre god
gehyr min gebed || halig drihten
nu ic stefne to þe || styrme hlude

# 
drihten drihten || þu eart gedefe mægen
hælo minre || and þu min heafod scealt
on gefeohtdæge || feondum awergean

# 
ne alyf þu me æfre || ofer lust minne
on fyrenfulra || fæcne geþancas
þa wiþerwearde me || wraþe hycgeaþ
ne forlæt þu me || on lifdagum
þy læs hi ahafene ofer me || hwile weorþen

# 
him ymb heafod || hefegast gewinna
þæt hi mid welerum || geworht habbaþ
him þæt ilce sceal || on gesittan

# 
eac hi feallaþ on || fyres glede
and þu hi mid fyre || facnes gehnegest
þæt hi þam yrmþum || a ne wiþstanden

# 
se getynga wer || on teosuspræce
ne biþ se ofer eorþan || gereaht ahwær
unsoþfæstne wer || yfel gecnysseþ
oþþe he on eorþan || eall forweorþeþ

# 
ic þæt gearuwe ongeat || þæt gode deþ
drihten domas || þe on dagum þyssum
wædlum weorþaþ || wreceþ þearfendra

# 
soþ is hwæþere || soþfæste nu
þinne naman willaþ || þuruh neod herigean
scylan eard niman || on þinre ansyne
þa mid ræde her || rihte lifigeaþ
