En Psalm fonn Doft.

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,

to heare moake met dee Stem fonn Danke, un aul diene wunndafolle Woakje tale.

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.

I Will Bless the Lord

Of David.

26 (A)Vindicate me, O Lord,
    for I have (B)walked in my integrity,
    and I have (C)trusted in the Lord without wavering.
(D)Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
    test my heart and (E)my mind.[a]
For your (F)steadfast love is before my eyes,
    and I (G)walk in your (H)faithfulness.

I do not (I)sit with men of (J)falsehood,
    nor do I consort with hypocrites.
I (K)hate the assembly of evildoers,
    and I will not sit with the wicked.

I (L)wash my hands in innocence
    and go around your altar, O Lord,
proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,
    and telling all your (M)wondrous deeds.

O Lord, I (N)love the habitation of your house
    and the place where your glory dwells.
(O)Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
    nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10 in whose hands are evil devices,
    and whose right hands are full of (P)bribes.

11 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
    redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 My foot stands on (Q)level ground;
    in (R)the great assembly I will bless the Lord.
