Have you seen this site? You can view a fairly literal translation here alongside the Old English text. There isn't a one to one correspondence between each word of the translation and each Old English word, and sometimes the word order is shifted around for clarity, but only within each half-line. It looks as if each half-line of the translation matches each half-line of the original. There are also notes, a glossary and further links.
