Vindicate Me, O LORD

1Be thou my iudge (O LORDE) for I walke innocently: my trust is in the LORDE, therfore shall I not fall.

2Examen me O LORDE, and proue me: trie out my reynes and my hert.

3For thy louynge kyndnesse is before myne eyes, and I walke in thy trueth.

4I syt not amoge vayne personnes, and haue no fellishepe with the disceatfull.

5I hate the congregacion of the wicked, and I will not syt amonge the vngodly.

6I wasshe my hondes with innocency O LORDE, and so go I to thine aulter.

7That I maye shewe the voyce of thy prayse, and tell of all thy wonderous workes.

8LORDE, I loue the habitacion of thy house, and ye place where thy honoure dwelleth.

9O destroye not my soule with the synners, ner my life with the bloudthurstie.

10In whose hondes is wickednesse, and their right honde is full of giftes.

11But as for me I will walke innocently: O delyuer me, and be mercifull vnto me.

12My fote stondeth right: I wil prayse the (O LORDE) in the congregacions.
