"Truly" or "Soothly" (Like in sooth-sayer) When in prayer it's used a sort of "Amen." From the "Old English" or Anglo-Saxon, (specifically the standard West Saxon dialect between the mid-5th century and the mid-12th century) one of the more famous usages would be The Lord's Prayer: Fæder úre, ðú ðe eart on heofonum,

Sí ðín nama gehálgod.

Tó becume ðín rice.

Gewurde ðín willa

On eorþan swá swá on heofonum.

Urne dægwhamlícan hlaf syle ús tódæg.

And forgyf ús úre gyltas,

Swá swá wé forgyfaþ úrum gyltendum.

And ne gelæd ðu ús on costnunge,

Ac álýs ús of yfele. Sóþlice.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_English
