Tiwesbed "Tiw's Prayer"

Æwe god---hál ábéode!
Þinges Tíw---þrymcyning,
þú fédest þone wulf---þe óðera gefærte,
þú nóme his tréwðe---þe getí wæs hé,
þín hand nóm wolf---hwonne bande þu wearg
swá ánhende ós---híe inclypiað þé.
Tíw þú bist tácna---healdest tréwða well,
wið æþelingas---þú bist on færelde,
ofer nihta genihtu---næfre swícest.
Sigebéacn tó manigum---swicléas lædere síða,
þá híe riht déore healt---þín hand onccegað
tó sóþe---tó lage and léafe,
tó mærum dædum---ond mihitigum wordum,
léode laðað Heargwearde---ond lofiað þínne nama
Sigedryhten---Sóðfæer,
Ánhende ós---Aewe god;
Dém gód úrum dædum---ond úrum drengum!

Law god ---whole abide.
thing god---strong king,
You fed the wolf--when others would not,
you took his troth---when tied was he,
your hand took the wolf---when you bound the outlaw,
so one handed god---they call you.
Tiw you are a symbol---you hold troth well,
with the princes---when you travel,
over night's mists---never do you mislead.
Victory symbol to many---loyal leader on paths,
those whom right hold dear---Your hand call on,
for truth---for law, and for what's dear,
for great deeds---and mighty words.
The poeple praise you Temple---and praise your name,
Victory lord---Truth father,
One handed god---law god;
Deem good our deeds---and our warriors.
