Psalm 132

1

Efne hu glædlic bið and god swylce,

128

þætte broður on an begen hicgen,
þær hig ænne sculan eard weardian.

2

Swa unguentum mæg æðele wyrtcynn
heafde healdan hrore stence,
mid þy Aaron his beard oftast smyrede.

3

Seo niðer astah on his reafæs fnæd
swa æþele deaw on Hermone,
se ofer Sionbeorge sneome astigeð.

4

Forþon her bebead halig drihten
lifes bletsunga lange to feore
of þisson nu awa to worulde.
