< Psalms 26 >
1 [By David.] Judge me, Jehovah, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.
`To Dauid. Lord, deme thou me, for Y entride in myn innocens; and Y hopynge in the Lord schal not be made vnstidfast.
2 Examine me, Jehovah, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
Lord, preue thou me, and asaie me; brenne thou my reynes, and myn herte.
3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
For whi thi merci is bifor myn iyen; and Y pleside in thi treuthe.
4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
I sat not with the counsel of vanyte; and Y schal not entre with men doynge wickid thingis.
5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit 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 innocence, so I will go about your altar, Jehovah;
I schal waische myn hondis among innocentis; and, Lord, Y schal cumpasse thin auter.
7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.
That Y here the vois of heriyng; and that Y telle out alle thi merueils.
8 Jehovah, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
Lord, Y haue loued the fairnesse of thin hows; and the place of the dwellyng of thi glorie.
9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
God, leese thou not my soule with vnfeithful men; and my lijf with men of bloodis.
10 in whose hands is wickedness, 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 my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
But Y entride in myn innocens; ayenbie thou me, and haue merci on me.
12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Jehovah.
Mi foot stood in riytfulnesse; Lord, Y schal blesse thee in chirchis.
