# The Paris Psalter: Psalm 72

# 
hu god is ece god || mid israhelum
þam þe mid heortan || hycgeaþ rihte
me fornean syndon || losode nu-þa
ealle on foldan || fota gangas

# 
forþon ic fæstlice || fyrenwyrcende
oft elnade || noldun earme mid him
sibbe secean || sohton fyrene

# 
forþon hira deaþes byþ || deorc endestæf
ne heora wites biþ || wislic trymnes

# 
ne synd hi on miclum || manna gewinnum
and hi mid manna ne beoþ || mægene beswungene

# 
forþon hi oferhygd nam || ungemete swyþe
þurh þæt hira unriht wearþ || eall untyned

# 
þanon forþ becom || fæcne unriht
swa swa hit of gelynde || lungre cwome
and hi on heortan || hogedon and þohton
hu hi fyrmest || facen and unriht
on hean huse || hraþost acwædon

# 
hwæt hi on heofon setton || hyge hyra muþes
and hira tungan || tugon ofer eorþan

# 
forþon min folc hider || fægere hweorfeþ
þær hi fulle dagas || findaþ sona

# 
and þonne cwædon || hu weorþeþ þis cuþ gode
oþþe þeos gewitness || weorþeþ on heagum

# 
þi nu fyrenfulle || foldan æhta
and þysse worulde welan || wynnum namon

# 
þa ic on mode cwæþ || minum sona
þeah þe ic on me ingcan || ænne ne wiste
hu ic mine heortan || heolde mid soþe
and mine handa þwoh || þær ic hete nyste
and ic wæs ealne dæg || eac geswungen
wæs me leawfinger || be leohtne dæg

# 
gif ic sylf cwæde || and sæcge eac
swa þe bearn weorþaþ || geboren syþþan
þa ylcan ic || ær foreteode

# 
ic þæs wende || þæt ic mid wisdome
full gleawlice || ongitan mihte
hu þis gewinn || wolde gangan
oþþæt ic on his hus || halig gange
and ic þa nehstan ongite || neode syþþan

# 
hwæþere þu him for inwite || yfel befæle
awurpe hi wraþe || þa hi wendan ær
þæt hi wæron alysde || laþum wiþferede

# 
nu syndon hi gewordene || wraþe tolysde
and semninga || sneome forwurdon
for unrihte || þe hi ær dydon
swa fram slæpe hwylc || swærum arise

# 
and hi on byrig drihtnes || bealde habbaþ
hiora ansyne || and þu hi eaþe miht
to nawihte || forniman sneome

# 
ys minre heortan hige || hluttor and clæne
wærun mine ædra || ealle tolysde
and ic to nawihte eom || nyde gebiged
swa ic þæt be owihte || ær ne wiste

# 
ic eom anlic mid þe || anum neate
and ic symble mid þe || syþþan hwæþere

# 
þu mine swyþran hand || sylfa gename
and me mid þinon willan || well gelæddest
and me þa mid wuldres || welan gename

# 
hwæt mæg me wiþerhabban || on heofonrice
hwæt wolde ic fram þe || wyrcean ofer eorþan

#

ys me heortan gehygd || hyldu drihtnes
and ece dæl || awa to worulde

# 
forþan þa forweorþaþ || þe hira wynne to þe
habban noldan || ne heora hyge settan
huru þu forleosest || þa forhealdaþ þe

#

minne hiht sette || healde fæste

# 
and ic eall þin lof || eft asecge
sione dohtrum || on hire sylfre durum
