Salmo 26
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).
2 Examíname, oh Señor, y pruébame(E);
Escudriña mi mente y mi corazón(F).
3 Porque delante de mis ojos está Tu misericordia(G),
Y en Tu verdad[a] he andado(H).
4 Con los falsos no me he sentado(I),
Ni con los hipócritas iré(J).
5 Aborrezco la reunión de los malhechores(K),
Y no me sentaré con los impíos.
6 Lavaré en inocencia mis manos(L),
Y andaré alrededor de Tu altar, oh Señor(M),
7 Proclamando con voz de acción de gracias
Y contando todas Tus maravillas(N).
8 ¶Oh Señor, yo amo la habitación de Tu casa(O),
Y el lugar donde habita Tu gloria(P).
9 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).

Salmi 26
Nuova Riveduta 2006
Preghiera del giusto nella persecuzione
26 (A)Di Davide.
Fammi giustizia, o Signore, perché io cammino nell’integrità
e confido nel Signore senza vacillare.
2 Scrutami, o Signore, e mettimi alla prova;
purifica le miei reni e il mio cuore.
3 Poiché ho davanti agli occhi la tua benevolenza
e cammino nella tua verità.
4 Io non siedo in compagnia di uomini bugiardi,
non vado con gente ipocrita.
5 Detesto l’assemblea dei malvagi,
non vado a sedermi tra gli empi.
6 Lavo le mie mani nell’innocenza
e così faccio il giro del tuo altare, o Signore,
7 per far risuonare voci di lode,
per raccontare tutte le tue meraviglie.
8 O Signore, io amo trattenermi nella tua casa,
nel luogo dove risiede la tua gloria.
9 Non mettermi in un fascio con i peccatori,
non associarmi agli uomini sanguinari,
10 nelle cui mani è scelleratezza
e la cui destra è colma di regali corruttori.
11 Quanto a me, io cammino nella mia integrità;
liberami, abbi pietà di me.
12 Il mio piede sta fermo in luogo piano.
Nelle assemblee io benedirò il Signore.
Psalm 26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 26[a]
Prayer of Innocence
1 Of David.
I
Judge me, Lord!
For I have walked in my integrity.(A)
In the Lord I trust;
I do not falter.
2 Examine me, Lord, and test me;
search my heart and mind.(B)
3 Your mercy is before my eyes;
I walk guided by your faithfulness.(C)
II
4 I do not sit with worthless men,
nor with hypocrites do I mingle.
5 I hate an evil assembly;
with the wicked I do not sit.
6 I will wash my hands[b] in innocence(D)
so that I may process around your altar, Lord,
7 To hear the sound of thanksgiving,
and recount all your wondrous deeds.
8 Lord, I love the refuge of your house,
the site of the dwelling-place of your glory.(E)
III
9 Do not take me away with sinners,
nor my life with the men of blood,(F)
10 In whose hands there is a plot,
their right hands full of bribery.
11 But I walk in my integrity;(G)
redeem me, be gracious to me!(H)
12 My foot stands on level ground;[c]
in assemblies I will bless the Lord.(I)
Footnotes
- Psalm 26 Like a priest washing before approaching the altar (Ex 30:17–21), the psalmist seeks God’s protection upon entering the Temple. Ps 26:1–3, matched by Ps 26:11–12, remind God of past integrity while asking for purification; Ps 26:4–5, matched by Ps 26:9–10, pray for inclusion among the just; Ps 26:6–8, the center of the poem, express the joy in God at the heart of all ritual.
- 26:6 I will wash my hands: the washing of hands was a liturgical act (Ex 30:19, 21; 40:31–32), symbolic of inner as well as outer cleanness, cf. Is 1:16.
- 26:12 On level ground: in safety, where there is no danger of tripping and falling. In assemblies: at the Temple. Having walked around the altar, the symbol of God’s presence, the psalmist blesses God.
