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.

Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection.

A Psalm of David.

26 Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity;
I have [relied on and] trusted [confidently] in the Lord without wavering and I shall not slip.

Examine me, O Lord, and try me;
Test my heart and my mind.

For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have walked [faithfully] in Your truth.

I do not sit with deceitful or unethical or worthless men,
Nor seek companionship with pretenders (self-righteous hypocrites).

I hate the company of evildoers,
And will not sit with the wicked.

I will wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about Your altar, O Lord,

That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving
And declare all Your wonders.


O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house
And the place where Your glory dwells.

Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
Nor [sweep away] my life with men of bloodshed,
10 
In whose hands is a wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of bribes.
11 
But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
Redeem me and be merciful and gracious to me.
12 
My foot stands on a level place;
In the congregations I will bless the Lord.

Oración del íntegro

Salmo de David.

26 Hazme justicia(A), oh Señor, porque yo en mi integridad he andado(B),
Y en el Señor he confiado(C) sin titubear(D).
Examíname, oh Señor, y pruébame(E);
Escudriña mi mente y mi corazón(F).
Porque delante de mis ojos está Tu misericordia(G),
Y en Tu verdad[a] he andado(H).
Con los falsos no me he sentado(I),
Ni con los hipócritas iré(J).
Aborrezco la reunión de los malhechores(K),
Y no me sentaré con los impíos.
Lavaré en inocencia mis manos(L),
Y andaré alrededor de Tu altar, oh Señor(M),
Proclamando con voz de acción de gracias
Y contando todas Tus maravillas(N).

Oh Señor, yo amo la habitación de Tu casa(O),
Y el lugar donde habita Tu gloria(P).
No juntes mi alma con pecadores(Q),
Ni mi vida con hombres sanguinarios(R),
10 En cuyas manos hay intrigas(S),
Y cuya diestra está llena de sobornos(T).
11 Pero yo en mi integridad andaré(U);
Redímeme, y ten piedad de mí(V).
12 Sobre tierra firme está mi pie(W);
En las congregaciones bendeciré al Señor(X).
