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 [a](A)Vindicate me, Lord, for I have (B)walked in my integrity,
And I have (C)trusted in the Lord [b](D)without wavering.
(E)Examine me, Lord, and put me to the test;
(F)Refine my [c]mind and my heart.
For Your [d](G)goodness is before my eyes,
And I have (H)walked in Your truth.
I do not (I)sit with [e]deceitful people,
Nor will I go with [f](J)pretenders.
I (K)hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
I will (L)wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go around (M)Your altar, Lord,
That I may proclaim with the voice of (N)thanksgiving
And declare all Your [g]wonders.

Lord, I (O)love the dwelling of Your house,
And the place [h]where Your (P)glory remains.
(Q)Do not [i]take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with (R)men of bloodshed,
10 In whose hands is a (S)wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of (T)bribes.
11 But as for me, I will (U)walk in my integrity;
(V)Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 (W)My foot stands on (X)level ground;
In the (Y)congregations I will bless the Lord.

Oración del que anda en integridad

26 Salmo de David.

Hazme justicia, oh SEÑOR,
porque yo en mi integridad he andado. Asimismo, he confiado en el SEÑOR;
no vacilaré.
Examíname, oh SEÑOR, y pruébame. Purifica mi conciencia y mi corazón;
porque tu misericordia está delante
de mis ojos,
y camino en tu verdad.
No me he sentado con los hombres falsos
ni tengo tratos con los hipócritas.
Aborrezco la reunión de los
malhechores;
nunca me he sentado con los impíos.
Lavaré mis manos en inocencia
e iré alrededor de tu altar, oh SEÑOR,
para proclamar con voz de
agradecimiento
y contar todas tus maravillas.
Oh SEÑOR, he amado la habitación
de tu casa,
el lugar de la morada de tu gloria.
No recojas mi alma junto con los pecadores
ni mi vida con los hombres
sanguinarios,
10 en cuyas manos hay infamia
y cuya mano derecha está llena
de soborno.
11 Pero yo andaré en mi integridad;
redímeme y ten misericordia de mí.
12 Mis pies se han afirmado en
suelo llano;
en las congregaciones te[a] bendeciré, oh SEÑOR.
