1 O Lord, stand by me for I have lived my life without blame. I have trusted in the Lord without changing.

Hazme justicia, oh Señor, porque yo en mi integridad he andado, y en el Señor he confiado sin titubear.

2 T est me and try me, O Lord. Test my mind and my heart.

Examíname, oh Señor, y pruébame; escudriña mi mente y mi corazón.

3 F or Your loving-kindness is always in front of my eyes. And I have walked in Your truth.

Porque delante de mis ojos está tu misericordia, y en tu verdad he andado.

4 I do not sit with men who lie about the truth. I would not be seen with those who pretend to be someone they are not.

Con los falsos no me he sentado, ni con los hipócritas iré.

5 I hate the meeting of sinners, and will not sit with the sinful.

Aborrezco la reunión de los malhechores, y no me sentaré con los impíos.

6 I will wash my hands of any guilt. And I will go around Your altar, O Lord.

Lavaré en inocencia mis manos, y andaré en torno a tu altar, oh Señor,

7 I will speak with the voice of thanks, and tell of all Your great works.

proclamando con voz de acción de gracias y contando todas tus maravillas.

8 O Lord, I love the house where You live, the place where Your shining-greatness lives.

Oh Señor, yo amo la habitación de tu casa, y el lugar donde habita tu gloria.

9 D o not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men who kill other people.

No juntes mi alma con pecadores, ni mi vida con hombres sanguinarios,

10 S inful plans are in their hands. And their right hand is full of pay for hurting others.

en cuyas manos hay ardides inicuos, y cuya diestra está llena de sobornos.

11 B ut as for me, I will live a life without blame. Make me free, and show me loving-kindness.

Mas yo en mi integridad andaré; redímeme, y ten piedad de mí.

12 M y foot stands on a good place. I will give honor to the Lord, in the meeting of worship.

Sobre tierra firme está mi pie; en las congregaciones bendeciré al Señor.
