# The Paris Psalter: Psalm 68

# 
do me halne god || forþon hreoh wæter
to minum feore inn || floweþ and gangeþ
eom ic on lame oflegd || hafaþ lytle sped

# 
com ic on sæs hricg || þær me sealt wæter

þæt me grame syndan || goman hase
byþ me æt þam earon || eagon wiþgangen
hwæþere ic on god minne || gearewe gewene

#

# 
ofer me syndon || þa þe me ehton

#
