Graiþhed mi hert, god, graiþhed mi herte is;
.I. sal singe and salme in mi blis.

2

Ris, sautre and harp for-þi;
In þe grikinge rise sal .i..

3

Schriue to þe, lauerd, in folke i sal,
In birthes singe to þe with-al;

4

For mikel ouer heuens þi merci es,
And to þe kloudes þi sothnes.

5

Vpheue ouer heuens, god, and ouer al land ai
Be þi blisse; þat þi loued lesed be þai,

6

Saufe make þi right hand, and here me.
God in his halegh spake he:

7

“.I. sal glade, and drihed twinne .i. sal,
And dene of teldes mete with-al.

8

Mine es Galaad, Manasse mine leued;
And Effraim fanger ofe mine heued.

9

Iuda mi kinge es ofe blis,
Moab ketel of mi hope is;

10

In Ydume sal .i. þinne mi scho;
Outen, frendes ere made me to.”

11

Wha sal lede me in warned cite?
In Ydume wha sal lede me?

12

Noghte-ne þou, god, outdrafe vs swa?
And in oure mightes, god, noght saltou outga?

13

Gif til vs helpe of drouinge;
And hele ofe men ful vnnait thinge.

14

In god might make sal we,
And to noght our faas lede sal he.
