Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

`To Dauid. Lord, deme thou me, for Y entride in myn innocens; and Y hopynge in the Lord schal not be made vnstidfast.

2 Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

Lord, preue thou me, and asaie me; brenne thou my reynes, and myn herte.

3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

For whi thi merci is bifor myn iyen; and Y pleside in thi treuthe.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

I sat not with the counsel of vanyte; and Y schal not entre with men doynge wickid thingis.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

I hatide the chirche of yuele men; and Y schal not sitte with wickid men.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

I schal waische myn hondis among innocentis; and, Lord, Y schal cumpasse thin auter.

7 That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

That Y here the vois of heriyng; and that Y telle out alle thi merueils.

8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

Lord, Y haue loued the fairnesse of thin hows; and the place of the dwellyng of thi glorie.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

God, leese thou not my soule with vnfeithful men; and my lijf with men of bloodis.

10 In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.

In whose hondis wyckidnessis ben; the riythond of hem is fillid with yiftis.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

But Y entride in myn innocens; ayenbie thou me, and haue merci on me.

12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.

Mi foot stood in riytfulnesse; Lord, Y schal blesse thee in chirchis.
