1 Faze-me justiça, Senhor, pois tenho andado na minha integridade
e confio no Senhor, sem vacilar.
2 Examina-me, Senhor, e prova-me;
sonda-me o coração e os pensamentos.
3 Pois a tua benignidade, tenho-a perante os olhos
e tenho andado na tua verdade.
4 Não me tenho assentado com homens falsos
e com os dissimuladores não me associo.
5 Aborreço a súcia de malfeitores
e com os ímpios não me assento.
6 Lavo as mãos na inocência
e, assim, andarei, Senhor, ao redor do teu altar,
7 para entoar, com voz alta, os louvores
e proclamar as tuas maravilhas todas.
8 Eu amo, Senhor, a habitação de tua casa
e o lugar onde tua glória assiste.
9 Não colhas a minha alma com a dos pecadores,
nem a minha vida com a dos homens sanguinários,
10 em cujas mãos há crimes
e cuja destra está cheia de subornos.
11 Quanto a mim, porém, ando na minha integridade;
livra-me e tem compaixão de mim.
12 O meu pé está firme em terreno plano;
nas congregações, bendirei o Senhor.
1 Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity:
I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.
2 Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me;
Try my heart and my mind.
3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes;
And I have walked in thy truth.
4 I have not sat with men of falsehood;
Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I hate the assembly of evil-doers,
And will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocency:
So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;
7 That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
And tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house,
And the place where thy glory dwelleth.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with men of blood;
10 In whose hands is wickedness,
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 Jehovah.
1 Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD and have not faltered.
2 Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
3 for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.
4 I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.
5 I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD,
7 proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
8 LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.
9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
11 I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.
12 My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD.
