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.

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 tempta 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 conplacui 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 tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae

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

ne perdas cum impiis 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
