Doo mie rejchte, O Herr Gott, dan ekj ha enn daut Follstendijchkjeit fonn mien Hoat jewankt, ekj ha uk enn däm Herr Gott fetruet. Ekj woa nijch wajch rutsche.

Forsch mie ut, O Herr Gott, un proow mie, moak mien Jewesse un mien Hoat rein.

Dan dien Erboarme es fer miene Uage, un ekj ha enn diene Woarheit jewaundelt.

Ekj ha nijch met Mensche jesäte dee leaje; un ekj woa nijch bie dee Heijchle enenn gone.

Ekj ha dee Beese äare Fesaumlunj jehaust, un woa nijch met dee Gottloose sette.

Ekj woa miene Henj enn Onnschult wausche, soo woa ekj romm dien Aultoa gone, O Herr Gott,

O Herr Gott, ekj ha dän Plauts fonn dien Hus leef jehaut, un dee Städ wua diene Harlijchkjeit wont.

Nem miene Seel nijch wajch met dee Sinda, oda mien Laewe met dee bloodrije Mane,

10 enn waems Henj doa en Plon es, un enn äare rajchte Haunt es Schmeijchel Jelt.

11 Oba ekj woa enn miene Opprajchtijchkjeit waundle; rad mie, un sie mie jnädijch.

12 Mien Foot steit opp ne jlikje Städ, ekj woa daem Herr Gott säajne enn dee Fesaumlunje.

Psalm 26

Of David.

Vindicate me,(A) Lord,
    for I have led a blameless life;(B)
I have trusted(C) in the Lord
    and have not faltered.(D)
Test me,(E) Lord, and try me,
    examine my heart and my mind;(F)
for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love(G)
    and have lived(H) in reliance on your faithfulness.(I)

I do not sit(J) with the deceitful,
    nor do I associate with hypocrites.(K)
I abhor(L) the assembly of evildoers
    and refuse to sit with the wicked.
I wash my hands in innocence,(M)
    and go about your altar, Lord,
proclaiming aloud your praise(N)
    and telling of all your wonderful deeds.(O)

Lord, I love(P) the house where you live,
    the place where your glory dwells.(Q)
Do not take away my soul along with sinners,
    my life with those who are bloodthirsty,(R)
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes,(S)
    whose right hands are full of bribes.(T)
11 I lead a blameless life;
    deliver me(U) and be merciful to me.

12 My feet stand on level ground;(V)
    in the great congregation(W) I will praise the Lord.

26 Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.

Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.
