usually came up with translations of critters, not transliterations,Just checking my email before I climb into bed at 0100 a.m. This is the best I can do just now, too sleepy to think. See line 32, below.26 Forþon he his englum bebead, þæt hi mid earmum þe
on heora handum heoldan georne,
þæt þu wilwega wealdan mostest.
And þe on folmum feredan swylce,
30 þe læs þu fræcne on stan fote spurne.
þu ofer aspide miht eaðe gangan,
and bealde nu _basiliscan_ tredan,
and leon and dracan liste gebygean.For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee in their hands, that thou hurt not thy foot against
a stone
Thou shalt go upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon
shalt thou tread under thy feet.In the current numeration of the Psalter, this is from Psalm 91 (Qui habitat) vss. 11-13. The Old English is from the Paris Psalter.
