Ang panalangin sa pagtangkakal. Awit ni David.

26 Iyong hatulan ako (A)Oh Panginoon, sapagka't ako'y lumakad (B)sa aking pagtatapat:
Ako naman ay (C)tumiwala sa Panginoon, na walang bulay-bulay.
(D)Siyasatin mo ako, Oh Panginoon, at iyong subukin ako;
Subukin mo ang aking puso at ang aking isip.
Sapagka't ang iyong kagandahang-loob ay nasa harap ng aking mga mata:
At ako'y lumakad sa iyong katotohanan.
(E)Hindi ako naupo na kasama ng mga walang kabuluhang tao;
Ni papasok man ako na kasama ng mga mapagpakunwari.
Aking pinagtataniman ang kapisanan ng mga manggagawa ng kasamaan,
At hindi ako uupo na kaumpok ng masama.
(F)Aking huhugasan ang aking mga kamay sa pagkawalang sala;
Sa gayo'y aking lilibirin ang iyong dambana, Oh Panginoon:
Upang aking maiparinig ang tinig ng pagpapasalamat,
At maisaysay ang lahat na iyong (G)kagilagilalas na gawa.
Panginoon, aking iniibig ang tahanan ng iyong bahay,
At ang dako na tinatahanan ng iyong kaluwalhatian.
Huwag mong isama ang aking kaluluwa sa mga makasalanan,
Ni ang aking buhay man sa mga mabagsik na tao:
10 Na ang mga kamay ay kinaroroonan ng kasamaan,
At ang kanilang kanan ay puno ng mga suhol.
11 Nguni't tungkol sa akin ay lalakad ako sa aking pagtatapat:
Iyong tubusin ako, at mahabag ka sa akin.
12 Ang aking paa ay nakatayo sa isang panatag na dako:
(H)Sa mga kapisanan ay pupurihin ko ang Panginoon.

26 [The psalm of David.] Lord, deem thou me, for I entered in mine innocence; and I hoping in the Lord, shall not be made unsteadfast. (The song of David. Lord, judge me, for I have gone my way in innocence; and trusting in the Lord, I have not been made unsteady, that is, I have not slipped, or stumbled.)

Lord, prove thou me, and assay me; burn thou my reins, and mine heart (burn thou my will, and my heart).

For why thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I pleased in thy truth. (For thy love is always before me; and I have gone in thy faithfulness.)

I sat not with the counsel of vanity; and I shall not enter with men doing wicked things. (I sat not down with vain, that is, empty, or worthless, people; and I shall not go along with those who do wicked things.)

I hated the church of evil men; and I shall not sit with wicked men. (I hate the company of evil people; and I shall not sit with the wicked.)

I shall wash mine hands among innocents; and, Lord, I shall compass thine altar. (I shall wash my hands in innocence; and then, Lord, I shall march around thy altar.)

That I hear the voice of praising; and that I tell out all thy marvels. (And I shall sing thy praises with thanksgiving; and I shall tell of all thy marvellous deeds.)

Lord, I have loved the fairness of thine house; and the place of the dwelling of thy glory. (Lord, I love the beauty of thy House; yea, the place where thy glory dwelleth.)

God, lose thou not my soul with unfaithful men; and my life with men of bloods. (God, do not thou destroy me along with the unfaithful; and do not take away my life along with those who thirst for blood, that is, murderers.)

10 In whose hands wickednesses be; the right hand of them is full-filled with gifts. (In whose hands be wickednesses; their right hands be filled full with bribes.)

11 But I entered in mine innocence; again-buy thou me, and have mercy on me. (But I went forth in innocence; so redeem thou me, and have mercy on me.)

12 My foot stood in rightfulness; Lord, I shall bless thee in churches. (Yea, my feet standeth on firm ground; Lord, I shall bless thee in the congregations.)

A Prayer for Divine Scrutiny and Redemption

A Psalm of David.

26 Vindicate (A)me, O Lord,
For I have (B)walked in my integrity.
(C)I have also trusted in the Lord;
I shall not slip.
(D)Examine me, O Lord, and [a]prove me;
Try my mind and my heart.
For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And (E)I have walked in Your truth.
I have not (F)sat with idolatrous mortals,
Nor will I go in with hypocrites.
I have (G)hated the assembly of evildoers,
And will not sit with the wicked.

I will wash my hands in innocence;
So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving,
And tell of all Your wondrous works.
Lord, (H)I have loved the habitation of Your house,
And the place [b]where Your glory dwells.

(I)Do[c] not gather my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10 In whose hands is a sinister scheme,
And whose right hand is full of (J)bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity;
Redeem me and be merciful to me.
12 (K)My foot stands in an even place;
In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
