Psalms 26

1 By David. Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD 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, LORD, 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, LORD,

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 deeds.

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

8 LORD, 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 Don’t 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 the LORD.

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