Iudica me domine.

Psalme. xxvi.

I.H.

Dauid oppressed with many iniuryes, finding no helpe in the worlde, called for ayde from God: and assured of his integritie toward Saul, desireth God to be his iudge and to defend his innocency, causeles afflicted. Finally he maketh mention of his sacrifice whiche he will offer for his deliueraunce, and desireth to be in the company of the faithfull in the congregation of God, whence he was banished by Saule, promisyng integritie of life & open praises and thankes geuing.

[_]

Sing this as the .xviii. psalme.

[1]

Lorde be my iudge, and thou shall see,

My pathes be right and plaine:
I trust in God, and hope that he,
will strength me to remaine.

2

Proue me my God I thee desire,

my waies to searche and trie:
As men do proue theyr gold with fire,
my reines and hert espie.

3

Thy goodnes laide before my face,

I durst be bold alwaies:
For of thy trueth I tread the trace,
and will doo all my dayes.

4

I doo not lust to haunt or vse,

with men whose dedes ar vayne:
To come in house I doo refuse,
with the deceiptfull trayne.

5

I muche abhorre the wicked sort,

their dedes I doo despise:
I doo not once to them resort,
that hurtfull thinges deuyse,

55

6

My handes I washe and doo procede,

in workes that walke vpryght:
Then to the aulter I make spede,
to offer there in sight.

7

That I may speak & preache the prayse

that doth belonge to thee:
And so declare how wondrous wayes
thou hast ben good to me.

8

O Lorde thy house I loue most deare,

to me it doeth excell:
I haue delight and would be neare,
wher as thy grace doeth dwell.

9

Oh shut not vp my soule with them,

in sinne that take their fill,
Nor yet my lyfe amongst those men,
that seke much bloud to spill.

10

Whose hands ar heapt with craft & guile

their life therof is full:
And their right hand with wrēch & wile,
for bribes doth pluck and pull.

11

But I in rightuousnes entend,

my time and daies to serue
Haue mercy Lorde and me defende,
so that I doo not swarue.

12

My fote is stayed for all assayes,

it standeth well and right:
Wherfore to God will I geue prayse,
in all the peoples sight.
