Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.

`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, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

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

3 For thy lovingkindness [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 will I go 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 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 mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

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

7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

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

8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour 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 bloody men:

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

10 In whose hands [is] mischief, 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 merciful 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 the LORD.

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