¹ Iudge thou me O God, for I haue walked in my perfection: my trust also hath ben in God [therfore] I shall not fall.² Examine me O God and proue me: trye out my reynes and my heart.³ For thy louing kindnes is before mine eyes: and I wyll walke in thy trueth.⁴ I haue not sit [in company] with vayne persons: neither haue I entred [once acquaintaunce] with dissemblers.⁵ I haue hated the congregation of the malitious: and I wyll not sit amongst the vngodly.

⁶ I haue wasshed my handes in innocencie: and [so] I haue gone about thine aulter O God.⁷ That in a publique confession I myght heare: and set foorth all thy wonderous workes.⁸ O God, I haue loued the habitation of thine house: and the place where thine honour dwelleth.⁹ O gather not my soule with sinners: nor my life with bloodie men.¹⁰ In whose handes is wickednes: and their right hande is full of gyftes.¹¹ But as for me I wyll walke in my perfection: O redeeme me, and be mercyfull vnto me.¹² My foote standeth vpon a playne [grounde: therfore] I wyll blesse God in the congregations.
