Livro dos Salmos 26

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 De Davi. Fazei-me justiça, Senhor, pois tenho andado retamente e, confiando em vós, não vacilei.	1 A Psalm of David, before he was sealed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
2 Sondai-me, Senhor, e provai-me; escrutai meus rins e meu coração.	2 Meanwhile, the guilty draw near to me, so as to eat my flesh. Those who trouble me, my enemies, have themselves been weakened and have fallen.
3 Tenho sempre diante dos olhos vossa bondade, e caminho na vossa verdade.	3 If entrenched armies were to stand together against me, my heart would not fear. If a battle were to rise up against me, I would have hope in this.
4 Entre os homens iníquos não me assento, nem me associo aos trapaceiros.	4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
5 Detesto a companhia dos malfeitores, com os ímpios não me junto.	5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.
6 Na inocência lavo as minhas mãos, e conservo-me junto de vosso altar, Senhor,	6 He has exalted me upon the rock, and now he has exalted my head above my enemies. I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm, to the Lord.
7 para publicamente anunciar vossos louvores, e proclamar todas as vossas maravilhas.	7 Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. Have mercy on me, and hear me.
8 Senhor, amo a habitação de vossa casa, e o tabernáculo onde reside a vossa glória.	8 My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. I yearn for your face, O Lord.
9 Não leveis a minha alma com a dos pecadores, nem me tireis a vida com a dos sanguinários,	9 Do not turn your face away from me. In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant. Be my helper. Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Saviour.
10 cujas mãos são criminosas, e cuja destra está cheia de subornos.	10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, but the Lord has taken me up.
11 Eu, porém, procedo com retidão. Livrai-me e sede-me propício.	11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.
12 Meu pé está firme no caminho reto; nas assembléias, bendirei ao Senhor.	12 Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.
	13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
	14 Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.
