Salmo de David.
26 Hazme justicia, Señor,
pues he vivido en integridad;
¡en el Señor confío sin titubear!
2 Examíname, Señor, ¡ponme a prueba!,
purifica mi corazón y mi mente.
3 Tu gran amor lo tengo presente
y siempre ando en tu verdad.
4 Yo no convivo con los mentirosos
ni me junto con los hipócritas;
5 aborrezco la compañía de los malvados;
no cultivo la amistad de los perversos.
6 Con manos limpias e inocentes
camino, Señor, en torno a tu altar,
7 proclamando en voz alta tu alabanza
y contando todas tus maravillas.
8 Señor, yo amo la casa donde vives,
el lugar donde reside tu gloria.
9 No me quites la vida junto a los pecadores
ni me hagas correr la suerte de los asesinos,
10 entre gente que tiene las manos
llenas de artimañas y sobornos.
11 Yo, en cambio, vivo en integridad;
líbrame y compadécete de mí.
12 Tengo los pies en terreno firme
y en la gran asamblea bendeciré al Señor.
Psalm 26
King James Version
Psalm 26
King James Version
26 Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9 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.
