Psalms 26

1 A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide.

In finem, Psalmus David. Iudica me Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum: et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.

2 Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.

Proba me Domine, et tenta me: ure renes meos et cor meum.

3 For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.

Quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est: et complacui in veritate tua.

4 I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.

Non sedi cum concilio vanitatis: et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo.

5 I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.

Odivi ecclesiam malignantium: et cum impiis non sedebo.

6 I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,

Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas: et circumdabo altare tuum Domine:

7 That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.

Ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

8 O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

Domine dilexi decorem domus tuæ, et locum habitationis gloriæ tuæ.

9 Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:

Ne perdas cum impiis Deus animam meam, et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam:

10 In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.

In quorum manibus iniquitates sunt: dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.

11 But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.

Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum: redime me, et miserere mei.

12 My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.

Pes meus stetit in directo: in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine.
