Psalms 26

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

By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

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

Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.

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

For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

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

I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

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

I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

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

I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

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

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

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

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

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

Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

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

In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.

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

And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

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

My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
