# The Paris Psalter: Psalm 87

# 
þu eart me drihten god || dyre hælend
ic on dæge to þe || dygle cleopode
and on niht fore þe || neode swylce

# 
gange min ingebed || on þin gleawe gesihþ
ahyld eare þin || and gehyr min gebed

# 
forþon is sawl min || sares and yfeles
fæste gefylled || is min feorh swylce
to helldore || hylded geneahhe

# 
wenaþ þæs sume || þæt ic on wraþne seaþ
mid fyrenwyrhtum || feallan sceolde
ic eom men gelic || mære geworden
þe mid deadum biþ || betweox deaþe freo

# 
swa gewundade || wraþe slæpe
syn þonne geworpene || on widne hlæw
þær hiora gymynde || men ne wænan
swa hi syn fram þinre handa || heane adrifene

# 
hi me asetton || on seaþ hinder
þær wæs deorc þeostru || and deaþes scua

# 
þær me wæs yrre þin || on acyþed
and þu me oferhige on || ealle gelæddest

# 
feor þu me dydest || freondas cuþe
settan me symble || þær me unswæsost wæs
eam ic swære geseald || þær ic ut swican ne mæg

# 
eagan me syndon || unhale nu
geworden for wædle || ic me to wuldres gode
þuruh ealne dæg || elne clypige
and mine handa to þe || hebbe and þenige

# 
ne huru wundur || wyrceaþ deade
oþþe hi listum || læceas weccean
and hi andettan þe || ealle syþþan

# 
cwist þu oncnawaþ hi || wundru þine
on þam dimmum || deorcan þystrum
oþþe þine rihtwisnesse || recene gemeteþ
on ofergyttolnesse || manna ænig

# 
ne on þeostrum ne mæg || þances gehygdum
ænig wislicu || wundur oncnawan
oþþe þin soþfæstnes || si on þam lande
þe ofergytnes || on eardige

# 
ic me to þe || ece drihten
mid modgehygde || mægene clypade
and min gebed || morgena gehwylce
fore sylfne þe || soþfæst becume

# 
forhwan þu min gebed || æfre woldest
soþ god wiþsacan || oþþe þinre gesihþe me
on þissum ealdre || æfre wyrnan

# 
wædla ic eom on gewinne || worhte swa on geoguþe
ahafen ic wæs and gehyned || hwæþere næs gescended

# 
oft me þines yrres || egsa geþeowde
and me broga þin || bitere gedrefde

# 
hi me ealne dæg || utan ymbsealdan
swa wæterflodas || wæron ætsomne

# 
þu me afyrdest || frynd þa nehstan
and mine cuþe eac || cwicu geyrmdest
