PSALME 26. (Book 26)

A Prayer of preparation to the holy Sacrament, and to death.

BE thou my judge, O Lord, for I haue wal∣ked innocently: my trust hath been also in the Lord, therefore shall I not fall.

2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me: try out my reins and my heart.

3 For thy loving kindnesse is ever before mine eyes: and I will walk in thy truth.

4 I haue not dwelt with vain persons: nei∣ther will I haue fellowship with the deceitfull.

5 I haue hated the congregation of the wick∣ed: and will not sit among the ungodly.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, O Lord: and so will I go to thine altar.

7 That I may shew the voice of thanksgi∣ving: and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 Lord, I haue loved the habitation of thy house: & the place where thine honour dwelleth.

9 O shut not up my soul with the sinners: nor my life with the bloud-thirsty.

10 In whose hands is wickednesse: and their right hands are full of gifts.

11 But as for me, I will walk innocently? O Lord deliver me, and be mercifull unto me.

12 My foot standeth right: I will praise the Lord in the congregations.

The Prayer.

O Lord our Iudge, whose loving kindnesse is great, and alwayes before our eyes ma∣nifested in the abundant acts of thy grace and providence, make us to love and frequent all the actions, ministeries, and conveyances of thy gra∣ces to us, especially thy holy Sacraments. O deare God, endue our Soules with faith and cha∣rity, and holy penitence, that our hands & hearts, our Soules and bodies, being washed in innocency and pennance, we may go to thy holy Table, and may in the whole course of our life, walk righte∣ously and in obedience to thee, that in this world hating the congregation of the wicked, and the fellowship of the deceitfull and vaine persons, at last our Soules may not be shutup with sinners, nor our lives with the bloud-thirsty, but we may have our portion in the eternall habitation of thy house, where thine honour dwelleth and reig∣neth world without end. Amen.
