Psalms 26

1 David’s. Do me justice, O Yahweh, For, I, in my blamelessness, have walked, and, in Yahweh, have I trusted, I will not waver.

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

2 Try me, O Yahweh, and prove me, Test my reins and my heart: —

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

3 For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;

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

4 I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter;

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

5 I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;

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

6 I will bathe, in pureness, my hands, —so will I go in procession around thine altar, O Yahweh;

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

7 To sound aloud a song, and to recount all thy wonderful doings.

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

8 O Yahweh, I have loved the asylum of thy house, even the place of the habitation of thy glory!

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

9 Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;

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

10 In whose hands is a plot, and, their right hand, is filled with a bribe.

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

11 But, I, in my blamelessness, will walk, Redeem me and show me favour.

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

12 My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations, will I bless Yahweh.

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