Psal. 26. Judica me, Domine.
Davidis.
1
Judge mee, O Lord, I walke the waythat perfectnesse doth guide:
My trust upon the Lord I lay,
and therefore shall not slide.
2
Examine, Lord, what I have been,sound what I ever did:
Search out my reines, what there uncleane;
my heart, what there lies hid.
3
Thy mercie is before mine eyes,thy truth my walkes repeat:
4
I sit not downe with men of lyes,nor enter with deceit.
5
The evill doers I eschew,their Synagogue I hate:
Nor have I with the wicked crew
in their Assembly sate.
6
My hands, Lord, wash't in innocence,thine Altar compast round:
7
With thankfull voice will I commence,thy wonders all to sound.
45
8
The habitation of thy Househave I, O Lord, lov'd well:
The place where thou art glorious,
the house where I would dwell.
9
O gather not my soule, to restwhere sinners soules abide:
And on my life lay no inquest,
where men of blouds are tri'd.
10
Whose hands accomplish wicked drifts,which mischiefes head contrives;
And their right hand is full of gifts,
whose bargaine Brib'rie drives.
11
Of this perfection I have got,however thou esteem;
Yet my perfection urge I not,
in mercie mee redeeme.
12
My foot upon so firme a groundstands stedfast and upright;
That I, O Lord, thy praise will sound
in great Assemblies sight.
