1 Vnto the end the Psalme of Dauid.
IVDGE me ô Lord because I haue walked in my innocencie: and hoping in our Lord I shal not be weakened.
2 Proue me Lord, and tempt me: burne my reynes and my hart.
3 Because thy mercie is before mine eies: and I am wel pleased in thy truth.
4 I haue not sitten with the councel of vanitie: and with them that doe vniust thinges. I wil not enter in
5 I haue hated the Church of the malignant: and with the impious I wil not sitte.
6 I wil wash my handes among innocentes: and wil compasse thy altar ô Lord:
7 That I may heare the voice of praise, and shew forth al thy meruelous workes.
8 Lord I haue loued the beautie of thy house, and the place of the habitation of thy glorie.
9 Destroy not ô God my soule with the impious, and my life with bloudie men.
10 In whose handes are iniquities: their righthand is replenished with giftes.
11 But I haue walked in mine innocencie: redeme me, and haue mercie on me.
12 My foote hath stood in the direct way: in the Churches I wil blesse thee ô Lord.
