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.

Oração da pessoa inocente

Salmo de Davi.

26 SENHOR, julgue-me,
    veja que tenho vivido com honestidade;
    SENHOR, veja que sempre confiei no Senhor.
Examine os meus sentimentos, SENHOR,
    ponha à prova os meus pensamentos mais profundos.
Nunca me esqueço do seu amor
    e sou fiel em todos os meus passos.
Não me junto com os que procuram fazer mal;
    não gosto de gente hipócrita.
Detesto e evito a companhia dos perversos
    e não me junto aos criminosos.

SENHOR, lavo as mãos para declarar que sou inocente,
    para me aproximar do seu altar.
Canto hinos de gratidão
    e conto a todos os seus atos maravilhosos.
Ó SENHOR, eu amo estar em sua casa,
    no lugar que está cheio da sua glória.

Não me dê o castigo dos pecadores,
    nem tire a minha vida quando o Senhor castigar os maus.
10 Eles estão sempre planejando fazer mal aos outros,
    sempre enganando as pessoas.
11 Mas eu levo uma vida honrada.
    Por isso, peço que tenha compaixão de mim e me salve.
12 Estou salvo de todo perigo
    quando o louvo, ó SENHOR, no meio de toda a assembleia.

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.
